Bristish Citizenship from Tier 1
Posted: Wed Oct 15, 2014 5:11 pm
Hi Guys,
I am currently on ILR through Tier 1 General 5 Year route, my wife joined me 2 year back on Tier 1 Dependent, last year due to falling short on 5 Years we went for Tier 1 extension and then in March 2014 I got my ILR but since my wife was falling short of 2 Year rule she is still on Tier 1 Dependent visa. Her visa is valid till 2016.
Next Year in March 2015 I will be eligible for PR/Citizenship and will be going for that, my question is whether I need to get my wife on ILR or shall I wait till next year and get a Citizenship and then apply for her citizenship based on my status, can I ignore the step of getting her onto ILR all together.
One of the concern I had was meanwhile if rules get change for Tier 1 Dependent but since my wife is eligible for ILR I can go for it as soon as its been announced.
Any advice?
