No, she doesn't qualify for ILR. She will have to switch to FLR(M) - Spouse Settlement visa - once you are granted ILR based on long residence and this will be a new 5 year route to ILR for her (2 x 2.5 year visas). She will lose the time she has already spent in the UK.Q1. My wife who is currently my dependent has been in this country for just over a year now. Would she be able to apply ILR as well?
You can take LIUK at any time but it must be at least 7 days before you apply, if you apply in person.Q2. When do I need to take the Life in the UK test? I understand that I will be eligible to apply for ILR 28 days before the 10 year duration is complete.
Have you made any effort to read the SET(LR) form and guidance notes? It clearly states what you need to submit, regardless of your different visa categories.Q3. What are the documents that I need to submit, considering that I have been on Student Visa, PSW and Tier 2 visa through out this period
Sorry I am very confused with this option does that mean:Q1. My wife who is currently my dependent has been in this country for just over a year now. Would she be able to apply ILR as well?

The spouse cannot apply for FLR(M) unless the other spouse's ILR is granted. The appointment for FLR(M) should be a few hours AFTER the ILR one to avoid this. Also, if ILR is not granted or delayed for further checks, then FLR(M) won't be granted either.Fonzo wrote:2)Does it mean that the spouse is able to switch to FLR(M) at the same time as the main applicant is making his ILR application. Also to make things awkward what happens if the spouse's application is processed before the main applicant's ILR?
