PBS Dependent Visa / ILR Timing

Post by Shabbir89 » Tue Sep 12, 2023 5:30 pm

Hello,

I came to the UK in September 2018 on a skilled worker visa and have just received my ILR.
My wife came to the UK on 14th November 2019 while her visa was issued on 17th October 2019.
Her current visa expires on 01st October 2024. Considering her 5 years would not have been completed by 1st October 2024, would we have to apply for an extension of the dependent visa and then apply for ILR 15-20 days later? Or can we apply for her ILR directly just before 01st October 2024?

Any help would be appreciated.

Her qualifying period starts from the initial visa issue date and not the date of entry.

She can apply foe ILR within 28 days before 17 October 2024, provided she meets all the requirements.
