Hi all -
Need some help please. As background, I am a UK national, followed the 5 year route work visa route and got it. My son was born in the UK and holds UK citizenship from birth.
Now the issue we are having is with my wife’s visa are below, with time lines.
Wife moved to UK with me in January 2017, entered on visa on arrival for Canadian nationals (with intention to fly out shortly after to apply for Uk spouse visa in Canada).
Uk spouse visa (pbs dependent) issued 12/05/2017, through 08/03/2019 (likely capped as I was tier 2 back then)
Uk spouse visa renewed (it says pbs dependent but I held an ILR at this time) issued 19/02/2019, through 28/01/2022
By my calculations, my wife is short by 3 ish months to complete the 5 year term. Now if it were 1, we could have just applied 28 days in advance of 5 years, but it’s a little longer.
What are our options here? I am surprised that she wasn’t issued a full term on my ILR basis (our bad for not picking it up).
Any thoughts or guidance is welcome as we look to work through this.
Thanks
