# If not, under what catgory her application need to be submitted and when she can able to apply it?
#Secondly if I am going to apply under 10 year rule and she can't submit the application with me then how long she need to wait in order to apply ILR, considering she is with me in UK from 3.5 years?

Quick reply will be highly appreciated.

Wait until you get your ILR
# If not, under what catgory her application need to be submitted and when she can able to apply it?
FLR(M)


#Secondly if I am going to apply under 10 year rule and she can't submit the application with me then how long she need to wait in order to apply ILR, considering she is with me in UK from 3.5 years?

Depends on what visa she's currently on?

Quick reply will be highly appreciated.

So according to you her clock will reset and she need to wait for another 5 years or she need to complete the 5 years in which her 3.5 years stay will count? She joined me in UK around July 2010 I think?

Thanks for your quick reply so far

[Damanisshallo]

How long has she got her visa valid until? Meanwhile read through this post and see how she can qualify for ILR straight after your approval.

[shoaibsuleman]

Current visa is valid until jan 2015

[Damanisshallo]

Wait for your ILR and follow the procedure mentioned in my previous post.

Hi Damanisshallo

I am kind of person can't do it myself and will need a help of the solicitor. Could you please pass me(of the solicitor mentioned in above link) his number so I will try to call him to book an appointment and go through with him. I spoke to other solicitors and all are saying my wife need to extend on FLR(m) first before move to settlement.

Your quick reply will be highly appreciated.

Hi

I recently got ILR on Long residency basis, before that I was under the Tier 1 general category.

My wife joined me as a Tier 1 general dependent in June 2011. Current Tier 1 general visa will expire in Feb 2016. By the time her visa reach in 2016 she will be only 4 months short in completing 5 years.

My questions are
1) When she can apply for change of category FLR(M)? Can she apply lets say in Jan2016?
2) Can she apply for ILR upon expiration of Tier 1 General visa? Any way around where she dont need to wait for another 5 years(under FLR(M)?
3) We are expecting a baby in June this year, does financial requirement of yearly salary going to apply on her or us? & If i show my payslips which fulfill that requirement does her need to show as well?

Appreciate your help

2) No.

Hi

Im planning to apply FLR(M) for my wife and I've got a question in regards to english language requirement.

My wife has done MBA from Pakistan and she got UKNARIC certificate(Degree comparablilty certificate) confirming her qualification is comparable to "British Bachelor (Ordinary) degree" and she got the letter from the PK university confirming all the courses taught in English.

Would that fullfil her English Language requirement or she still need to give A1(correct me if Im wrong) english test?

Appreciate your quick reply!

I will highly appreciate if anyone can answer my query, My husband has recently got ILR through Long Residency (10 Years). He was on Tier 1 (Entrepreneur Visa) and I came to UK on a student visa in 2006 and lived here until 2013 on an Independent visa, I switched to Tier 1 Entrepreneur dependant in 2013 within the country and granted 3 years visa, My question is that if I switch my current Tier 1 Dependent visa to (ILR Spouse/Dependent), will I still be able to apply under 10 years long Residency next year or my clock will reset? And Can I carry on living on my current Tier 1 Entrepreneur Dependent Visa and just apply for ILR next year?

Yes, all visas can be used towards 10 years long residence applications.

Clock will reset but only to qualify on 5 years residence not 10 years long residence. If you are not planning any travel, it might be ok to stay on Tier 1 Ent and apply SET(LR) when you qualify. If you have travel plans, suggest you switch to FLR(M) first.

Agree.

Hi All

Please can anyone advise, I will be completing my 10 years on 30th Sep 2015 and my Mrs will be completing her 5 years as my dependant on 10 Dec 2015.

My question is can my Mrs apply for long residence after she had completed her 5 years on 10 Dec 2015 as my dependant ? I am unsure as her 5 years are combination of being my Tier1 PSW dependant from Dec 2010 till Jul 2011 and then Tier1 general dependant from Jul 2011 - till Dec 2015

Iam planning on applying for my ILR in SEP 2015 and then let her apply in Dec 2015...her current tier 1 general dependant visa expires in jun 2016

Thanks in Advance

Thanks for the link Sushdmehta....the info provided in the link is bit confusing...please can you or anyone in the group reply to my question above ?

Many Thanks

How can your spouse apply for long residence when your post says she has only 5 years residence?

If you apply for ILR based on 10 years long residence, your spouse should switch to FLR(M) which will reset her clock for ILR to zero and she will be on a new 5 year route to ILR. She will not be able to apply for ILR based on PBS Dependent if you apply for ILR based on 10 years long residence. The rules changed in April 2014, that is the detail that the link provides which Sushdmehta posted.

If you apply for ILR based on Tier 1 in June 2016, then she will qualify for ILR with you.

[Nasimmig]

Thanks for your reply CR001...what if i apply for my ilr in Dec 2015 by the my mrs would have had completed her 5 years stay as as pbs dependant ?

[geriatrix]

the info provided in the link is bit confusing...

From the linked topic:

Effect of changes to immigration rules introduced on 06-Apr-14 and qualifying residence period for settlement

PBS dependants of such migrants cannot apply for settlement without switching to FLR(M). Anyone switching to FLR(M) route on or after 06-Apr-14 will be required to spend 5 years on FLR(M) leave with the same partner to be eligible for settlement. In other words, any time spent in the UK prior to grant of such FLR(M) leave will not contribute towards qualifying residence period for the purpose of settlement. More simply, the dependant's ILR count is reset to zero.

How can I make it any more simpler? Please recommend ...

Hello Sushdmehta

The reason i have said it is confusing because i have been advised that the rules and chanegs took effect on and after Apr 2014 only apply to people who have been granted pbs dependant visas on or after Apr 2014..which tbh makes sense

So now from what you guys have advised it seems that regardless when you been granted the visa it doesnt make any difference
