Dear Guys,

My friend will apply for his ILR in october this year. He is currently on Tier 1 visa.

His wife is currently on Tier 1 dependent visa. She came to UK in Jan 2011.

My query:

so when my friend applies for his ILR in October 2012, Can he add his wife as dependent so that she also gets ILR with him?

If this is not possible( i think could be because she hasnt completed 2 yrs in UK by october 2012 ) can she extend her tier 1 dependent visa?

Many Thanks,

Assuming "Tier 1" to be "Tier 1 (General)":

1. No (319E(d)).
2. Only if your friend applies for Tier 1 (General) extension. Else, is he applies for settlement then she will need to switch to FLR(M), and then apply for settlement as and when 287(a)(d) is met.

Many Thanks Sushdmehta

I'll forward your suggestions to my mate

Regards,
