ILR for dependant

[skumar123a]

Me and my wife will be going for an ILR in 7 months
My wife has been with me for more than 2 years, so she is eligible for ILR at the same time as me.

My question:
1) Can my wife leave UK now and return after 5 months and 25 days to get ILR.
2) How many days can a dependant be outside UK in the last year before she gets her ILR.

Please advise help

Thanks

Absences should be limited and for good reason. It may be wise to postpone any long absences until after ILR (though bare in mind the absences limitations for naturalisation).

Hi Thanks for the advise.

My wife stayed with me for more than 3 years as Tier-I dependant (so eligible for ILR util now).
We both (along with our new born) will be travelling outside the country to attend a marriage. She will stay in India with the kid for 5 months or so. Then she will leave come back to UK 2 or 3 weeks before we go to ILR interview.
My questions:
1. Is she eligible for ILR if she does this?
2. What reason can we say, if the case worker asks us?
3. Any other solution. Pleas advise.


Thanks for ur patience

So long as the 5 months is deemed limited and for good reason.
