When was she first a PBS dep?

Hello Amber,
Thanks for quick reply, first Tier 1 General Visa issued in Feb 2010 and she arrived on 05 July 2010.

Thanks

If she's been a PBS dep since 2010 and switched to FLR(M) before 6 April 2014, she can apply for SET(M) now by virtue of rule 287(a)(i)(d). B1 English and LIUK required.

Thanks for your kind advise Amber,
i believe Spouse visa fees is 1093 by post and 1490 in person

A quick question regarding the same topic.
I someone has been granted ILR on LR, and his wife has been granted FLR(M) AFTER 4 April 2014 (and she was PBS dependent since june 2011), will she has to wait for 5 years on FLR before applying for SET?
thanks.

When did she apply for FLR(M). Before or after 6 April 2014?

She applied after 6 april.
On another note, will it be applying of the visa that would matter or the dates on the BRP?
thanks.

The date in which the applicant applied/posted the application.

so since she posted the application after 6 April 2014, does she mean she will have to wait for 5 years before applying for SET, even though she has been here on PBS dependent before April 2012, and the main applicant applied for ILR on LR?

Yes, I'm afraid so.

Hello Amber,
i have ILR long residence (issued 28/11/13) and my wife on FLR (M) since Jan 2013, i have plan to apply ILR for her for that do i have to any financial obligation?

my salary more than 25000 a year but do not have any saving.
Thanks

Assuming your spouse was a PBS dep prior to FLR(M) and had been since before July 2012, then you have no problems re; adequate maintenance.
