ILR Application for Dependent Spouse Under GT Visa Route

Post by mzyxkaga » Fri Aug 25, 2023 11:32 am

Hello good people around. I hope you can help me with the following query. Many thanks in advance for your kind help :)

I have a query regarding the ILR application for my spouse who is (and has been) a dependant of my visa. We are in the UK from 2016 and my spouse has always been the dependent of my visa since (7 years in total). I (main applicant) am now applying for ILR via the Global Talent 3-year route. My question is: can my spouse apply with me at the same time? In her total 7 years of stay under dependent visa, my spouse has been a dependent of my tier 2 visa for 2 years and global talent visa for 1 year. Before that, she was the dependent of my tier 4 student visa for 4 years. Hence, can she include her 1 year (under GT) + 2 years (under tier 2) + 2 years (under tier 4) period of dependent stay towards her 5-year continuous residency requirement?

Hey - Did you hear back regarding your ILR application? How long did it take? Thanks.
