Does my wife qualify for ILR?

[sacbmth]

I've been on T2 General since March 2014. My girlfriend at the time, now wife, came to the UK in August 2015 on a Tier 5 YMS and we lived together since until we got married in June 2017 and applied for T2 dependent once her T5 YMS expired. Now I'm eligible to apply for ILR but I'm not sure if my wife is eligible to apply with me? If she doesn't qualify then what will her immigration status be? Her current T2 dependent visa is valid till 2020 March but if I get my ILR approved will her T2 dependent visa become invalid?

Many thanks.

No, she does not qualify for ILR with you. She needs 5 years residence on PBS Dependent visa before she will qualify.

If she doesn't qualify then what will her immigration status be?

Her existing visa remains valid.

Her current T2 dependent visa is valid till 2020 March but if I get my ILR approved will her T2 dependent visa become invalid?

No. The immigration rules permit PBS Dependents to continue on their visas if the main PBS migrant gets ILR based on the PBS route. She can apply for a PBS Dependent extension shortly before her current visa expires.
