1. ILR- 10 Years Long Residence, OISC Level 1 Training: Solutionvisas.com
We are often approached and asked about the PBS dependants if they are eligible for ILR.
If the main applicant is applying for Tier 1 or Tier 2 ILR and dependant wife has been here for less
than 5 years. After the main applicant’s visa has been approved for settlement, then they ask whether
they should apply for their spouse on settled route (FLR M) or PBS extension.
This is a common confusion; both options can be chosen for extension. However, if you are going to
apply on FLR M (considering you have fulfilled the appendix FM rules) this means that your
dependant’s time in the UK would start again from the application and previous time spent in the UK
will not be considered. Therefore, on that basis it would be better to apply via the PBS dependant
route. The only drawback in comparing the 2 approaches is the cost implication as the fee for PBS
dependant is twice that of the FLR M route. However, with FLR (M) route there is no restriction to
work as a doctor, dentist or nurse.
10 Year Long Residence:
If the main applicant is switching to the 10 year long residence route and their dependants are already
here then unfortunately because of the rules which were enforceable from 6th April 2014 it won’t
allow them to add their dependants time spent in the UK at all.
In other words, their dependant can only apply for the appendix fm FLR M route and their previous
stay will not be added. The change will mean such dependants will need to apply for leave to remain
under the rules for family members in Appendix FM before they can qualify for settlement.
