You have 2 options to apply as his dependent
1) PBS dependent (You can apply ILR after you finish 5 years)
2) FLR M (this will reset your clock to zero and you need 5 years from the date to apply ILR)

What is the start date of your visa and what date did you enter the UK?

Thanks for your reply.

I have looked at both of the forms now.

Am I right in saying that the correct form to fill for me is PBS Dependent as my husband is still on Tier 1 (General) (We both are going to apply for our visa together, he is going to apply for ILR and I have to apply for dependent).

The FLR M seems to be the ones who are already settled in the UK. I am not sure what does settled person mean exactly.

FLR M is cheaper to apply otherwise as its fees is £600 in comparison to £1600 for PBS dependent.

Please let me know what do you think.

@ CROO1

What is the start date of your visa and what date did you enter the UK?

Start date was March, 2014 and I entered end of March, 2014. My visa end date is 15 April (i.e. until my husband's Tier 1 General visa expiry date)

I am applying for dependent of my husband who is on Tier 1 General (very soon switching to ILR). I have downloaded PBS dependent document and I can see there is a requirement of maintenance. My question is can I use my husband's bank statements to provide as an evidence. Please note my name is NOT on the account name, i.e. we are not join account holders but he is going to write a letter for me saying that I am supporting her financially.

Please let me know if that would be ok. Thanks

Yes

A person who has ILR

You can apply on FLR(M) as the cheaper option and you can do it on the same day as your husband but you will need an appointment a couple of hours after his appointment. You need English A1 test certificate and to meet the financial requirement of £18,600pa

It will reset your clock for qualifying for ILR so you would need another 5 years on FLR(M) before you can apply for ILR and you would lose the 1 year you have already been in the UK.

Hi All,

I am currently on "ICT Tier 2" visa and I am eligible for ILR and will be applying for the same next month, but my spouse is not eligible for ILR as she entered UK in Dec 2013 and not completed 5 years.
She is still have Visa until end of August 2015, and I am applying ILR next month

Could you please suggest, how to extend her Visa, as she is still not eligible for ILR, which application form and when should I apply for extension for her (after my ILR or along with me)?

My first Visa Stamp - March 2010, current visa ends on - 1st Sep 2015
Spouse 1st Visa stamp - Dec 2013, current visa ends on - 1st Sep 2015


Thanks
Shakeel
