请教各位大神,12年7月前拿到的Tier 2陪伴签,转ILR是否只需住满2年?

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
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/581579/Family-members-of-PBS-migrants-v12.pdf
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

你12年4.23开始拿t2 dependent, 反正还有2个月就满5年了,你何必着急这两个月。

你的时间计算是按照签证签发时间而不是入境时间,所以4月23日再提前28天,三月底即可申请。

guidance上说的是在12年7月前granted dependent visa就只要2年即可,为什么要等到3月底?

老公需要下月初申请,我看了条款认为我已经满足要求,而且一起申材料不用准备两遍了

在immigration board上找到一个解释的帖子,希望对有同样经历的人有用,我个人觉得在12年7月9日政策改变之前拿到dependent visa的PBS migrant dependent只需要2年就可以申请永居,当然,前提是你的main applicant要在Tier 2满5年
