I called the immigration folk. They asked me to put in a cover letter explaining this problem and describing the circumstances being different. Thank you very much for your help.

Am i using the right form?

PBS Dependant - Partner

She is the only one applying. but its part of her application that they are asking my details and its quite frustrating when i cant see an option for ILR visa for myself

I end up answering by putting my status as PBS Tier 2 with a CoS of less then 3 years shortage occupation to proceed on the application

Thanks for the reply. I am having some problems while i am filling the online form. It is asking me for a CoS - which is not applicable to me now. There is no mention where i can state that i am on ILR. That is the same problem i am getting when i am applying for the immigration health surcharge ...

She got her visa in November 2012, so the application was after july 2012

Hi,

I immigrated to the UK on a Tier 2 visa. I have obtained ILR in August 2016. My wife is currently on Tier 2 dependent that expires in May. She has had that status for 4 and a half years. What would be the next best way forward and which visa should i apply for?
