Query with dependent visa while applying ILR

[ILR_Applicant]

Hi I have PMed you on this. I am also on same boat, presently on Tier1 and eligible for ILR. My wife has joined me just 2 months ago and what will be her status?

Can I include her in application, If I need to apply FLR(M) for her how soon I need to? if its with in 28 days, do I get PEO appointment if she has to attend personally.

I tried to call UKBA to get answers but they suggest see our website.

Hi

Thats my doubt, can we both apply together so that i will get PR and she get a switch from tier-1 dependend to FLR(m).

because otherwise i need to apply for me and spend £ 1000+ and again apply FLR(m) for her and spend another £1000+.. thats tooo much for me. or for anyone.

Thanks

I think your Tier 1 dependant wife would need to spend a minimum period of two years in the UK before qualifying for settlement (319E(d)), unless you are affected by the HSMP Forum Ltd judicial review judgment of 6 April 2009 (settlement in the UK).

When you apply for settlement, I believe that she may switch to FLR(M) and subsequently apply for SET(M) (287(a)(i)(d)).

She will need to apply for extension (using FLR(M) form) after you are granted ILR.

You can include dependents in SET(O) form only if they are eligible for ILR at the same time as you.

Hello guys

finally its confirmed. I called UKBA and for the info.

We can not club diff applicaton documents in one processing. Which means I need to apply for PR first and then apply for FLR(m). So i need to pay twice fees. And also there is no time frame there on processing FLR(m), he said need to apply ASAP. Better to apply before 14 days think.
