For Q1.1) I understand that I will be getting a new BRP when I change my visa, but then do my wife and son also need to apply for a new visa or they can continue living in the UK on their current BRPs?
contradiction in terms?
Your wife and son can continue on their current dependant BRPs and they only need to apply for an extension before their permissions expire BUT ONLY PROVIDED the expiry date of your new visa is later than the expiry dates of their current visas - see below
Your CoS can be for one year only but then your permission (visa) will end before the expiry date of your dependants' current visas and that is not allowed. The expiry date of your dependants' visas cannot be beyond the expiry date of your visa.ravin9889 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 3:19 pm2) Since I will be able to apply for ILR in April 2022, so technically I only need one more year of sponsorship. Hence my new employer doesn't have to pay for 3 years of sponsorship. Is it ok if the Certificate of Sponsorship does not have a length of 3 years? Or would you advise to have it the new CoS for 3 year on safe side?
Now, will there be any problem as my new SW visa would expire before my dependents current visa expiry which is April 2023?
my SW visa would have expired and I would be ILR.
Probably more sensible yes.So what is the best way to go forward? Applying for a 2 year SW visa instead of 1 year?
You are not "required" to get a 2 year CoS and visa but, as CR001 pointed out, with a 1 year visa there is a risk that your dependants' visas may be curtailed.
Hi Manci, looks like my new employer has made up their mind on only give one year visa as I am eligible for ILR in March 2022. I understand the risk for my dependent visa being curtailed since my new SW visa will expire in Aug 2022 which is before theirs current dependent visa expires (April 2023). May I know who can help with official gov.uk guidelines in this case? If my dependents visa will be curtailed for sure then I can push my employer to apply for 2-year visa.
