Dependant entry delayed, would this be problem!

[T2dep]

Hi

My wife got visa last week as Tier 2 dependant but she is wiling to stay another five months due to her education in Pakistan.

Would this be problem in future for any extensions, ILR etc.

Any guidance will be much appreciated.

Cheers

The last paragraph on the page in link below says that dependant will need to apply for further probationary if entry was delayed.

But somewhere I read that dependant can be outside UK for a reason(illness) as opposed to main applicant. Can someone please advise, if the first entry delay rule has its importance in my case (I am on tier 2 and not settled yet) but hope to be settled already when my wife will apply for settlement after 5 years.

Thanks

I have a couple of friends who have had this issue and thier dependents arrived more than 11 months later after getting the visa..
I am guessing its not going to be problem as she can always mention of some medical treatment or close relative who required care due to critical illness.
