Info required for Indefinite leave to remain

Post by ssm4u » Sat May 07, 2011 8:39 pm

Hi,

I've a valid UK Tier 1 visa for 2 years which is valid for 2 years. I entered into UK after 7.5 months. Now even after the initial extension I can't apply for Indefinite leave to remain as my 5 year stay criteria is not fulfilled.

My wife is also at UK with Tier 2 visa which is valid for 2 years. But as from Tier 2 you can't convert to Indefinite leave to remain". So if after completion of her 2 year visa then she will apply for my dependent is there a chance for her to get an indefinite leave to remain.

If she switches as your dependant then she will only get ILR if you get ILR. And you will get ILR only after completing 5 years, which means you'll have to go through another extension to cover late entry.
Goodluck.

Is it allowed to take one more extension after the 2+3 years for Tier 1 extension expires.
