FLR(M) or ILR for my wife

[BACK_TO_GB]

Hello,

I thought I understood this but after reading more posts, i find myself confused with the Post July changes...

I am due to apply for my ILR in August (having spent 5 years - 28 days) by then in the Tier 1 (General) Visa...
My wife applied for a out of country Dependant Visa and was Granted it in April 2012... ENtered the country as my dependant in June (this month)... so far only spent about a month living together (not 2 years) !

Question: Under the new post July changes, should:

A) I apply for my ILR and after getting it she applies for a 2 year extension FLR(M).. OR
B) we both apply for ILR in August? (I would have completed 2 years & she would have completed 3 month Only)

Many thanks...

Thanks,

Can I also get a response from a senior member please...

I also need advise about when best to apply for myself and my wife

my idea is to apply in person for myself get the ILR doc and BRP number which i need to fill in her application and then send hers by post?

Cheers,

I also need to understand how much will she need to show for Financing....

and is it ok if the acccound is in my name or does it need to be in her name?

is a Joint bank account in both of our names ok?

Thank you
