Hello Experts,
First of all a big thank you for all the experts on this forum for helping people like me.
My situation:
I received my British citizenship in Oct, 2018. In 2017 I got my ILR on a Tier 2 General 5 years residence route.
My family members, wife and 2 minor kids situation:
First visa stamping as PBS dependent : 13 Oct, 2013
First date of entry to the UK: 3 Aug, 2014
Second visa extension valid from Jan, 2016 till 31 Mar, 2019.
Am I right in assuming that the 5 years qualifying period for ILR is based on the first visa stamping and would be 16 Sept, 2018 and as their current visa extension was done before Jan, 2018 the absence period rules do not apply to my wife.
Or do they apply for another PBS dependent extension and complete the 5 years stay in UK and apply for ILR somewhere around Jul/Aug, 2019?
It would be helpful if the experts could answer this as a call to the Home office did not provide the answers. They simply asked us to search on the government website.
