Hi I am little bit confused here...
My understanding is that if the main applicant who is on T2 gets ILR then the partner has to apply for FLR(M). If the partner later then completes 10 years while on FLR(M) can s/he apply for ILR? or does the clock reset to zero as soon as s/he gets FLR(M)?

Thanks

If you have acquired your ILR after 5 years on T2 then your partner can continue to extend his/her T2 dependent visa without resetting her clocks towards ILR otherwise to FLRM if you got your ILR through long residence where her clock will reset. But her all visas will be counted towards 10 years long residence for ILR.

Sorry if this question sounds stupid to some guru's here. The more I read these forums the more confusing its getting...

My question is that if the main applicant who has just been granted ILR after completing 10 years on T4 and T2 what would the main applicant's dependent partner need? Is it FLR(M) or FLR (FP)?
(Both the main applicant and the partner has a UK degree and earns more than £30k a year before tax)

The partner is currently on T2 dependent visa. So far the partner has completed about 8 years on dependent visas (T4 and T2 dependent combined) and is planning to apply FLR(M) / FLR(FP) which ever is appropriate and easy to get, and then after completing 2 years on that the partner intend to apply for ILR since the partner would have completed 10 years by then. My question is that is it possible to apply for ILR on 10 year route basis (T2 & T4 dependent + FLR(M)/FLR(FP) combined) or does the clock reset to zero from the moment the partner gets FLR(M) / FLR(FP) ?

Thanks you so much for being very helpful.

FLR(M).

All lawful residence can be combined to qualify for the 10 years qualifying period.
