WIFE's Visa will expire on same date as mine!! WHAT TO DO?

[nionlight]

Dear Friend,

I am here in uk with Tier-1 and will qualify to apply for ILR next year October. My wife recently joined me as a dependent and her visa will expire same date as mine, which means when I apply for ILR, her visa will expire. She will only have 1 year in uk by the time her visa expire and I apply for ILR. Now which visa will she apply for? Please advise. Many thanks.

She should apply for FLR(M) at the same time you apply for settlement.

Come back next year .. closer to the time of your settlement application ... for more detailed information on the matter. For now, the answer above should quell any worries.

Thanks sushdmehta. The reson for my worry is, my wife wont be here in Uk during the time of my ILR application. Since she is a student back home, she will need to go home at that time for attending exams. Is there anything can be done? Thanks.

In such case, after you are granted settlement she will have to apply for entry clearance as spouse of settled person.
