You can apply for ILR as a Tier 1 Entrepreneur dependant 28 days before you complete 5 years in the UK on Tier 1 Entrepreneur dependant visa if the main applicant is either applying for ILR or has already obtained ILR as Tier 1 Entrepreneur Migrant. Certain PBS dependants of Tier 1 Entrepreneur Migrants cannot apply for ILR at the same time as the main applicant due to not meeting the 5 years residential requirement and therefore they have to apply for ILR as Tier 1 Entrepreneur dependant after the main applicant has already been granted ILR as Tier 1 Entrepreneur Migrant. You can apply for ILR as a Tier 1 Entrepreneur dependant through Super Priority Service if the main applicant has already been granted ILR as a Tier 1 Entrepreneur.
