ILR - do I qualify as a dependent.
Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2009 1:09 pm
My wife has been in UK on HSMP (now Tier 1) for the past 3.5 years.
Got married to her 2 years ago and came to UK.
I have *my own* Work permit (and I also have my own Tier 1 General - in case of tough times).
Per current rules she can apply for ILR in 1.5 years time. In her application, do I qualify as a dependent; even though I am not on her 'dependent visa' status.
Should I be switching my visa (again) to have a dependent status?
Any thoughts regarding this - is much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
