Hi everyone Sorry to bring this topic again but I couldn’t find a definitive answer in the old posts so I’m posting again. So far my understanding is “ All pbs dependant visas granted before 11th January 2018 have no absence limit and any visas issued after 11th January 2018 will have a 180 absence r ...

I have booked a premium appointment but decided to apply as a standard post, this is for Tier 2 dependant.
as far as I know, this is online only, so now I have the online completed form, can I simply post it and send them an email for a refund of the premium service fee?

Thank you for your quick reply CR001, can you please advice me any way around this?

can my Tier 2 sponsor give her a letter for funds?

Thank you so much

Hi , could you please respond for my post , I am really confused. Many thanks Mina I'm no expert but CR001 can correct me if I'm wrong. Because your wife's visa always linked to yours, you should first get your ILR sorted, then she can apply under same Tier 2 dependent extension (premium or by post ...

yes. she can only be granted 3 years anyway. Hi cyclina1 thank you so much for your quick and invaluable responses. I couldn't edit my previous post so posting again with 2 more bits I received my BRP card yesterday ( at long last! :D ) and applied online today giving my visa expiry date as 3 years ...
