老公Tier 2已经到5年,打算3月份申请,我的Tier 2 dependent visa是12年4月23日签发,5月13日入境,15年续签到18年1月,我之前一直以为如果是在12年7月9日之后申请永居就需要5年,但刚刚看了

第29页上关于Family members of PBS migrants: indefinite leave requirements上提到:
Partners: paragraph 319E of the Immigration Rules
To be granted indefinite leave to remain as the partner of a PBS migrant, the applicant must:
• be the spouse, civil partner, unmarried or same sex partner of a person who is being,
or has been, granted indefinite leave as a PBS migrant
• have, or have last been granted, leave as the partner of the person who is being, or
has been, granted indefinite leave as a PBS migrant
• have been living with the PBS migrant in the UK in marriage or civil partnership, or in a
relationship similar to marriage or civil partnership for at least:
o 2 years - for applicants granted leave as the partner of a PBS migrant under the
rules in place before 9 July 2012 and who have since had continuous leave in that
category
o 5 years – for applicants granted leave as the partner of a PBS migrant under the
rules in place on or after 9 July 2012, who have since had continuous leave in that
category and, during that period, have met all the requirements of paragraph 319C
(a) to (e)
• be in a subsisting relationship with the PBS migrant at the time the application is made
(for more information, see related link: 2.0 - Genuine and subsisting relationship)
• intend to live together permanently with the PBS migrant as their spouse, civil partner,
unmarried or same sex partner (for more information, see related link: 1.0 - Partners)
• meet the knowledge of language and life in the UK requirements - for more
information, see related link
根据我highlight出来的这条,是不是意味着我其实已经满足居住2年的要求,可以在3月和老公一起申请,而不用等到5月份我的dependent visa满5年?
望指教,谢谢
