Hi all
I am faced with a confusing scenario. Please if you can help it will be great.
My wife entered the UK before July 2012( Feb 2012 to be precise) as dependent when I was on a Tier 1 General Visa. Subsequently I got my ILR in November 2012. Its July 2014 now.My wife has stayed with me continuously since without any breaks.
My question is is my wife already eligible to apply for dependent ILR under the 2 year rule(Feb 2012-Jan 2014) or does she come under the 5 year rule? Why I am asking this is because When she came into the UK i was not settled then. The rules sound a bit confusing in their wordings. Hence I thought I ask someone who may know this or have already been able to successfully apply under similar situations.
Your inputs will be appreciated
Birdy
