As he got original visa before July 2012 so only Maintenance Fund requirement needs to be met

Pls advise

Could it rather be T1 PBS Dependent?

my paraphrase of rules - "if PBS Dependent does not qualify for the same as PBS Migrant for settlement, and if the PBS Dependent's current leave expires prior to her reaching settlement qualification, the dependent can apply for extension using PBS Dependent form."

Hi

I have just got my ILR at Solihull. I was applying for ILR through Tier-1 General route. My wife was issued Tier-1 Dependent visa in June-2012. I was reading this forum and people were suggested that someone who was applying for ILR can apply dependent visa by using FLR(M).

But it is totally wrong as I was nearly ruin my appointment. I reached at solihull with my wife at 9.30. My appointment was 10 am and my wife's appointment was 11am. Guy at the front desk checked my form then my wife's form. He said that your wife needed Tier-1 (General) dependent form not FLR(M). I explained and spit out all the information which I read but guy confirmed one of the PEO staff that she required Tier -1 General dependent form. Then I rushed to the library took the print out and come to PEO 5 minutes before my appointment. Luckly, my number was called 15 minutes later by than I filled half the form. Then I went to the counter. After my appointment, while I was waiting my Biometric I filled rest of the form.
Basically, I was so disturb with all this confusion. At the end, I got ILR approval letter, my wife got another 2 year extension. PEO, officer told me that she will apply ILR next year (2014) by using SET(O) form.

So I hope this is the answer of your question. But if you are still not sure then take both forms with you. PEO will decide which one they need to proceed.
