ILR and wife's status

[hbadami]

Hi all

I got my UK workpermit in December 2005. In mid of June 2007, I applied for Tier one visa. My current tier one visa is valid till June 2011. I will complete my 5 years of residency in the UK in December 2010 and will be eligible for ILR.

I am planning to take an appointment with home office for a window service (face to face) end of November.

I got married in April 2009. My wife joined me in November 2009 on a tier one dependent visa. To date she has been with me for the last 9-10 months. My question is when I visit home office for my ILR and if I am granted, my visa status will change to indefinite (wont be tier one immigrant any longer). So my wife's visa has to be changed (She will be no longer a tier one dependent). Can you help me in sorting out what visa category will she be in? Secondly can I apply for her visa in that category immediately, i.e. at the same window service appointment?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

yr wife will get ILR WITH U

According to which immigration rule?

The OP switched to Tier 1 (General) in 2007 and therefore is not covered by HSMP JR which enables dependents of HSMP migrants to qualify for ILR without living in the UK for 2 years.
