ILR Dependent Query

Hello. I will share my timeline here for clarity. I have been in uk since Jan 2015 and my Dependents arrived in Uk in March 2016.
ICT Short term : 27/01/2015 - 01/01/2016. Then I moved back to India to apply for ICT Long term visa.
ICT Long Term : 26/03/2016 - 17/03/2021.
Skilled Work Visa : 06/04/2021 - 17/03/2022
Skilled Worker Visa (moved employer) : 06/07/2021 - 18/07/2024
1 year Skilled worker Visa Extension - 05/07/2024 - 01/08/2025

My dependents are with me since March'2016. Based on above timelines, I am eligible for ILR and will be applying for one soon as my Employer is not ready to give another year of extension.

My Query is -
My dependents are yet to complete 10 years and will need Visa beyond 1st Aug 2025. What are my options. Is there a way to apply for 1 year ILR dependent visa and then they will be eligible for ILR in Mar-2026.

Earliest help here would be great.

Your dependents apply for a Skilled Worker Dependent extension. It is a 3 year extension.

There is no visa for them to extend for only 1 year.

Thanks @CR001 for confirmation. Though it is an expensive route when only 1 year is required to be eligible for ILR.

Also based on my timelines, I am eligible for ILR. Correct?

Thanks & Regards.
