As you're now British, if and when she changes to a British Spouse visa, her clock resets. She starts the new 5 year route to ILR. From what I see, she's jumped around a lot and reset her clock many times.xcrogers wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2023 2:09 pmI have a ILR pathway question for my wife.
She is currently on her own Skilled worker visa which will take her well past the min 5 year period on that visa type to apply to ILR (and then citizenship).
Before having her own skiller worker Visa she was a dependent on my Tier 2/skilled worker visa for approximately 1.5 years and before that was the holder of an ICT Tier 2 visa (i was her dependent) for approximately 1 year.
She is considering changing jobs (and would look to have the new office pick up her visa to maintain the straightforward pathway to ILR).
However, as I am now a UK citizen is there a version of life where a new office does not pick up the visa, she becomes a dependent of mine under a family visa and and can then apply for ILR/citizenship under a 5 or 10 year residence in UK period (as all her time has been legal). Curious if a possibility or if essentially a new office choose to not pick up her visa it essentialyl brings her back to square one from a residency perdiod.
Thank you
