Thank you so much.
So she don't have to wait another 2 years?as she spent past 6 years as a dependant of her husband and they are continuous living as husband and wife.
but after 6 years she change her visa status as tier 1 general migrant and her husband switch his visa as her dependant and after 1 year he got ilr 10 years category.
does it will effect now her application if she apply for ilr as her husband dependant?
pls reply

She'll have to wait until 2015 and apply under the long residence SET(LR) provisions assuming she will not have exceeded the absence requirements as she changed to a PBS dep after July 2012 and thus has a 5 year route to settlement under the new spouse/partner scheme. If she requires further leave to remain she'll have to apply for FLR(M) which has a Financial requirement and English requirement.

Hi Thanks,
just need to clarify
she is now ilr dependant. not PBS dependant.She already applied FLRM requirments and got ILR spouse visa for 30 months.
she was PBS dependant for 2005 to 2011.
from 2012 to [OCTOBER]2013 she was independent category which was TIER 1 GENERAL.
FROM November 2013 to current her visa status is ILR SPOUSE
which will expire june 2016
hope u understand

Same as I stated previously, she must wait until 2015 and apply under Long Residence - SET(LR) I'm afraid, as she does not have transitional protection.
