See also FLR(M) for acceptable documents relating to unmarried partners, to prove co-habitation.

I have a similar query -
I am applying for ILR very soon. I am currently on Tier 1 General and my wife on Tier 1 Dependent.
When I apply for ILR she would be
**1.5 years cohabitating at same address.Previous 0.5 year was distant relationship with time being together on weekends and holidays.
**1 year on Tier 1 Dependent
**2 years being married.
What is the best option -
Can we apply for ILR together
If I apply it without dependent what would she need to do - extend her stay and then apply for ILR in few months or extend for 2.5 years and again for 2.5 years and then apply after a total of 5 years ?
Please can someone advise.
Thx
I'm no expert on this, but it's apparent that you won't be able get your wife in your ILR dependent because you only live together for 1.5 years.rshelar wrote: When I apply for ILR she would be

I would really appreciate if some one could guide me in the right direction. I am on Tier 1 general at the moment and due to apply for ILR in March 2014. My wife was granted Tier 1 dependent visa in February 2012 but came to UK in April 2012. I know she qualified for ILR under two years rule. My question is will UKBA count these two years from February 2012 ( which was when she got the visa ) or April 2013 ( which was when she arrived in UK) ?
I also came across 90 days concession period in FAQs. I am all very confused. Can some one please let me know if we will be both be able to apply for ILR in March 2014 together?
Many Thanks
