ILR-2 OR 5 years as a dependant, visa gap-confusing

[doc44]

Hi all,

I am on TIER 2 general visa and will apply for ILR in few months time.

My wife was with me as work permit dependant for 2.5 years before and then tier 2 dependent visa now given for 1.5 years. She got her entry clearnace as tier 2 dependent before july 2012. Problem is that there is a gap of 2 months between the two dependant visas.

Can she apply for ILR with me? She is living with me for the last 4 years in UK other than that 2 month visa gap, there is a 2 month visa gap between and latest visa is of 1.5 years not 2. Should she apply for ILR? OR FLR (M) for 6 months.

If she applies for 6 months extension using FLR (m), will 2 years probabtion time or 5 years time will be applicable on her. Kindly advise, very confused and worried. Thanks.

Was your wife inside or out of UK during the 2 month period you are concerned about?

Thanks. She was outside UK back to our home country for 2 months and she applied for entry clearance as a TIER 2 dependent.

Your wife can apply as a dependent on your application, at the same time.
