There are 12 months in a year. When exactly were the dependent visas issued?? Why do they not qualify for ILR yet if their visas were issued in 2015 at some point?When was their first dependent visa issued?
## It was issued in 2015.
They will still only get a 3 year extension. It is unclear from your post why they do not qualify for ILR if their visas were issued in 2015.## As mentioned I have already applied for ILR on 2nd June, 2020 and awaiting bio-metric slot and decision. Seems by the time I will get the ILR decision their existing Leave will expire so hence have to file for extension. I understand decision on the extension will only come after my ILR application decision but in all circumstances I need to apply for extension before their leave expires by 15th Jul'20

There is NO absence limit if the visa was issued before 11th January and no absences need to be declared. Cohabitation is separate to this.## What makes their ILR case little tricky - they were not in the country for last 22 months(approx 2 years) and were out of country at the time when I applied for ILR. They will be in country by end of this week. I understand as their leave was before 2018 (when new dependents absence rules came in) their absences are not considered ideally but now if they apply for their ILR my wife becomes the primary applicant and all her absences will need to be filled in explicitly and I am not sure how case worker considers (co-habitation and absences etc) it thus poses a little risk to application & money and hence decision to extend the visa for 3 years and apply ILR after 2 years with the only mention of absences against the new leave (if any).
Stop listening to the solicitor. Simply select 'up to 3 years' for the extension.## And it is when I was planning to start the process and getting ready for 3 years visa extension for them, my solicitor told me that as my initial leave was for 5 years so while applying for Tier 2 dependent extension for 3 years I need to pay (NHS health surcharge + Visa application fees) for 5 years to get the 3 years extension which I was quite surprised with. Hence wanted to have your expert advice on.
## So if I select 'up to 3 years' then it means we need to pay only for 3 years (NHS health surcharge + Visa application fees) and there is no risk to the application! Is that correct?CR001 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 10:19 amThere is NO absence limit if the visa was issued before 11th January and no absences need to be declared.

## So if I have understood it correctly - even if my family applies for ILR (now) with wife as main applicant (which by all means they are eligible considering their leave was issued before 2018) there is no need to put any absences (last 22 months absence) for primary applicant which is my wife in this case?

Correct, as that is all they can get and what UKVI will issue.## So if I select 'up to 3 years' then it means we need to pay only for 3 years (NHS health surcharge + Visa application fees) and there is no risk to the application! Is that correct?
