Tier 2 PBS dependent after partner ILR

Post by traveller789654 » Sun Nov 14, 2021 6:07 pm

Hi all

Few queries regarding Tier 2 PBS dependent. If the primary Tier 2 holder has got ILR, what visa category will the dependent renew their visa ?
The partner has been on Tier 2 PBS dependent for 1 year 6 months and the visa is expiring shortly.
Should the partner renew as the same Tier 2 PBS dependent or another category considering the main Tier 2 holder is now on ILR.
If the dependent/partner now needs to change the visa category, then would it affect the 5 yr ILR requirement?

And let's say, the main visa holder gets citizenship in some time, will the partner dependent need to change visa category then again ?

Skilled Worker Dependent visa, provided you got ILR based on 5 years Tier 2.

Yes.
If the dependent/partner now needs to change the visa category, then would it affect the 5 yr ILR requirement?
They do NOT have to change visa category.
And let's say, the main visa holder gets citizenship in some time, will the partner dependent need to change visa category then again ?
No!!
