ILR and Global Talent Dependant

[rafayansari]

Hello,
I request your help in the following matter. I am a GTV holder and will be eligible for ILR in a couple of months. My wife got her visa as a GTV dependant in Jan 2022 and her visa expires mid 2023. Assuming I will get the ILR by September 2022, I have following two questions:
1. Does my wife have to change her visa type after mid 2023? Or she can get an extension as a GTV dependant?
2. If she can get an extension as a GTV dependant, would that be for the whole period of time needed for her to be eligible for ILR , i.e., remaining 3.5 years to complete the 5 years time?

Thank you and waiting for your kind response.

1. She extends under the same visa even if you get ILR
2. Her GT dependant visa will be granted for a fixed period of 3 years, if you get ILR

Dear Zimba,

Thanks a lot for the reply. One question, if the fixed term of 3 years GT dependant visa ends before the total 5 years required for her ILR, than does she have an option to apply for another extension?

Yes, but if her current visa expires in 2023, then how will she be short of 5 years ?
