Please can someone help to answer my question below? Thanks a million.
I am currently on Tier 1 (general), and my wife on Tier 4 (student visa). I will apply for ILR in August.
The new rule means my wife will need to spend 5 years before getting her ILR, if she covert to Spouse visa after my ILR in August.
I am wondering, is it possible for her to go back to China now, and lodge application as my Tier 1 Dependant before the 9 July deadline, and then apply for FLR(M) once I convert to ILR in August. That way, would she be eligible for ILR after 2 years or 5 years?
Thanks so much
