Since you got ILR on LR basis your wife cannot settle on the PBS route. You should have changed her visa right away to FLR(M).Vishwagupta wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2019 10:35 pmHi friends, I am British Citizen and previously settled via long residence route of 10 year. At the time of settlement i was on Tier 2 general visa. I am now looking to apply for ILR for my spouse who has been on PBS dependent (tier 2) since January 2013. I did not switch her to dependent of settled person when i got my ILR. Can someone clarify if she will be eligible to apply for ILR using SET (O) since she has spend more than 5 years on same visa category. I have read somewhere that if i have settled via 10 year route then my depndent also need to settle via same 10 year route. I am confused due to this. She meets all other requirements. She entered UK in April 2011. So has not completed 10 years.
The rules for PBS Dependents of Long Residence ILR partners changed in April 2014, so have been in place for many years.

Is it possible to find guidance or immigration clause on UKVI website to this effect? As usual it is always very difficult to find very specific guidance on UKVI site.
