PBS Dependant --> ILR clarifications required

[charua4]

Hi All

I am applying for My Wife ILR she is on PBS Dependant Visa(I already got my ILR in 2019). Two quick questions :

1. For her absences from the UK during last 5 years does she require any letter from her or my employer ?
2. Her current passport is expiring in 5 months when we will be submitting the application, is there a minimum passport validity required for ILR application or just it need to be valid at the time of application ?

3. Any letter from employer/ financial documents payslips,bank statements etc required from my side ?

Thanks.

1. No. She only has to declare absence for a visa extension granted on or after 11th January 2018 in the form. Any absence before this date are irrelevant.

2. Valid at time of application only.

3. No.

Many thanks for your quick reply.
Can I please clarify for below point:

1. No. She only has to declare absence for a visa extension granted on or after 11th January 2018 in the form. Any absence before this date are irrelevant - She came to UK in Dec 2016 (got her PBS Dependant extension in 2019, at the time I got my ILR), so while filling her absences for ILR application what I understood we need to give the history of absences for entire 5 year duration, is this not correct ?

[CR001]

No, only absence from 2019 when she got her last extension have to be declared.

Awesome, many thanks.

And does the 180 day rule still applies for her in any 1 year period ?

[CR001]

Yes, any 12 month period.
