They will be completing their 5 years as per their visa issue date in February 2020, currently they have Tier 2 dependent visa till October 2019.my question is which visa extension should I apply for them ?and how much time should I apply for I mean for one year or more??
I’ll be looking forward to your expert opinions
Thanking in anticipation

A PBS Dependent extension is for 3 years once the main PBS migrant obtains ILR.
And after this extension can they still apply in Feb 2020 or wait for three years
They can apply for ILR when they meet the 5 year requirement on PBS dependent visa.

Thanks for your help
I got my ILR approval email today
Now for my wife and my elder daughter(who was not born here)I’ll apply for TIER 2 extension for three years and for my younger daughter who was born in uk in 2016 should I apply for extension? Or may I apply for citizenship now.
Other question is do my wife need to take an English test now for this extension or not? If Yes would that be valid for ILR as well or for that she will need another English test
Thanks in anticipation

1. Yes, your UK born child can be registered as British on form MN1. You need your ILR BRP first.

2. PBS Dependent extension has NO English requirement, nothing has changed.

Once again Thanks a lot
Sorry to annoy you but my wife came in uk in 2015 and she did not take any English test then as with some of my colleagues whose families arrived later that year they were asked to take English test which was ielts for ukvi so I was just wondering that in case she did not take it then and is supposed to take A2 or some similar test now

PBS Dependent DO NOT require an English test and they have never required one.

The English test is ONLY for spouse settlement visas, a completely different visa category and immigration rules!!
