Dear guru
Hello, I just joined the group and it astonishing to see the groups helps towards needy people so congratulation and thank you very much for your hard work
I have few doubts, I will apply for ilr under 10 years next month and hopefully I would get it.
I have queries that will my partner falls under rules prior to jul 2012? EVEN IF SHE IS MAIN PBS APPLICANT SINCE 3 YEARS AND I WAS DEPENDENT PBS APPLICANT? ( I switch my visa in 2006 as dependent of Student ; year 2010 dependent PSW and since year 2011 dependent PBS T1G every time she was main applicant ) so basically she is in the UK over 6 years but as a main applicant.
Would you please advise on this matter as I am still confused about:
1) Will that 6 years of time count towards non settlement route to be added towards settlement so she can apply for ILR or still she has to be my dependent for 2 years ?
As she want to study dentistry from next year and the Universities want to know what will be her visa statues in sep 2014 so she can admit for course.
I would also like to know would visitor visa count towards long residency period.

Thank you in advance for your time and advice.
Regards

Unfortunately, if your wife was not a dependent she will not be subject to the transitional protection (click).

For ILR your wife may consider:

Flr(m) once you are settled - 5 year route to settlement (new rules)

Whether she can extend and settle as a PBS applicant - 5 year route

Or extend as above until she reaches 10 years long residence.

For time as a visitor under set(lr) see here (click). see also, long residence guidance (click).

Amber please can you also guide me in this situation will my UK born child (who is on Dependent visa PBS on my wife’s visa and never been travel outside UK is eligible for UK passport.
Many thanks,
Akash
