Hello Admins and Experts,
*** First and foremost, apologies if I am posting this in the wrong channel. Please advise if I have and I will immediately remove this post ***
I am on a Skilled Worker Visa valid until Jan 2023. However, I am due to apply early for ILR in Sept 2022.
My spouse is on PBS dependant visa valid until Sept 2022; however he cannot apply for ILR until Sep 2025 (his clock was reset due to change of visa category in 2020).
Now my dilemma is
1. Should he apply to extend his PBS dependant visa before I apply for ILR?
OR
2. Should he apply to extend his PBS dependant visa after I apply for ILR and have gotten my ILR BRP?
If he chooses Option 1, he will have to quote my Skilled Worker Visa COS & BRP number.
- a) Would that mean that he will be extended only until Jan 2023 since my current BRP is valid until Jan 2023 as stated above?
- b) Or will he be extended automatically for 3 years from the date of extension submission?
- c) If he choose this route, will his extended visa be affected if I apply for ILR?
If he chooses Option 2,
- d) will he have to quote anything other than my ILR BRP number (like a COS number)? Asking this, since my ILR BRP would not have any associated COS number.
- e) Again, in this case, will he be extended automatically for 3 years from the date of extension submission?
What should be the best approach?
This post may be unusually a very early one but I hope you agree that its never too early to be self aware of any situation Appreciate your response, advice and suggestions!
