Main Applicant on ILR, PBS dependent Extension Fees

Hello Members,

I am on ILR (via Tier 2 general ,5 yrs route) since last July (July 2019). I need to extend my wife's PBS dependent Visa this month (visa expires next month).

Before my ILR, I was on SOC code 2136 ( Programmers and software development professionals).This SOC code was not under shortage occupation while I was on Tier 2 visa, but now falls under shortage occupation

Shortage Occupation List.

While filling the application for her the system asks whether the job falls under shortage occupation ,what should I fill in (as the extension fees are a bit less on shortage occupation) , I wans't on shortage occupation when my COS was issued .?


Just don't want home office to reject application for wrong reasons

Member any suggestions please
