Although Tier 1 (PSW) is not a route to settlement, the rules do not distinguish between any of the Tier 1 sub categories in considering FLR as the spouse of a relevant PBS migrant.
Partners of relevant points-based system migrants
319AA. In paragraphs 319A to 319K and Appendix E, 'Relevant Points Based System Migrant' means a migrant granted to leave as a Tier 1 Migrant, a Tier 2 Migrant, a Tier 4 (General) Student or a Tier 5 (Temporary Worker) Migrant.
Therefore, at the moment Part 8 and the amalgamation (flr(m) to set(m)) is available to those PBS dep where the PBS was not on a route to settlement. However, the change is intended to stop this but as of yet is not in place according to the settlement policy team.
If you require further assistance I suggest you seek legal advice.
Hi,
Does that mean, that after getting ILR based on 10 yr, my wife can apply for FLR(M) and Set(M) on the same day at PEO, using 8 years she spend as my dependent on student tier 4 and PSW tier 1 visa.
or they have changed anything yet.
Do we need to fullfil the new income threshold of £18,600. I asked few lawyers, they r giving conflicting replies, I email home office public inquiry and they copy pasted me standard FAQ webpage instead of answering my question.
