Hi
I got my Tier 1 Visa in Jan 2011 but only arrived in the UK in Mar 2012. I got my Tier 1 visa renewed in Mar 2013 for 3 years and VISA now expires in Mar 2016. However as per the new UKBA rules the last date of extension is Apr 2015 which means I have to get my visa renewed once more before Apr 2015 as I do not qualify of ILR. I have the following questions
1. When do I qualify for applying for ILR. Is it MAr 2017?
2. If I were to renew my Tier 1 Visa would they be issuing it for another 3 or 2 years? I got it for 2 and extended it for 3.
3. I also have 2 dependents whose visa also expire in Mar 2016. Is it possible for me to apply and get my visa renewed first (using same day appointment) and once it is approved then apply for extension for my dependents?
4. Based on the response for Point 3 , can I apply for renewal for my dependents after Apr 2015 (if I have got the extension beforehand)
5. To book a same day appointment - how many months in advance can we book.

28 days before Mar 2017 i.e your first arraival date

Ideally they will renew for 3 years.
3. I also have 2 dependents whose visa also expire in Mar 2016. Is it possible for me to apply and get my visa renewed first (using same day appointment) and once it is approved then apply for extension for my dependents?
You can extend over same day, after that you can extend your dependents over postal.
4. Based on the response for Point 3 , can I apply for renewal for my dependents after Apr 2015 (if I have got the extension beforehand)
You can do it no issues. But your dependents visa validity was aligned with your visa validity
5. To book a same day appointment - how many months in advance can we book.
If you are eligible you can book any time, there is no specific hard core rule. But if you are planning to book an appointment on 1st jan then you can search 43 days before.

Thanks
I had selected for bank e-statements in error .I requested for hard copy of bank statements however they sent me statements (color printout ) .Should I ask them to stamp those bank statements as well?
If I apply for tier-1 extn in Mar-15 ,can I apply for visa renewal for my dependants after MAR-16 (my & dependants original visa validity date) ?
or dependent visas are linked to main applicant visa and there visas would be invalid after I renew my VISA in Mar-15 .
Please suggest.
