Hi, Background : Primary : Wife is in Tier 2 from Aug 2019 and renewed with Skilled worker healthcare valid until 14 Jan 2025 Dependents : Me and kids BRP first start date 02-Dec-2019. Vignette date 01-Dec-2019 (Just one day earlier) and renewed for dependent partner valid till 14-Jan-2025 =========...

Let me rephrase the question. Should a dependent partner renew the visa when the main visa holder switches jobs. Dependents validity less than main holders validity after renewal or main holder. from searching the form i understand it is not reuired. But my concern is with the introduction of skille...

Hi, My wife has Health and care worker visa issued by NHS trust. We are dependents and hence did not pay IHS during renewal. The visa expires in 2024 Now my wife wants to shift to non healthcare skilled worker visa and she will have to pay IHS since it is not healthcare role. Should the dependents c...

Yes you can apply. Call the number https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside-outside-uk/y/inside-the-uk/something-else and provide initial IHS numbers and applicant details etc. I have applied couple of months back and escalated in couple of weeks. They were honest in saying these refunds take lot of t...

If you are in skilled worker - Health care visa then you would have not paid IHS fee at first place. Have you paid IHS fee as part of your application? If yes is it by mistake or you were told to pay since your role is not eligible for IHS exemption. Usually NHS visa cell informs as a part of CoS is...

Update : My wife received cos for 2 years 4 months as requested to visa team. NHS rights to work team now acknowledged that they can provide visa (if needed) not restricting to 5 years 14 days in total. This would eliminate me and kids needing to renew again.

Thanks Matey. That's a relief.

You can collect the BRPs for kids. I have collected it for my kids back in 2018 from post office without kids. Note : The kids must have arrived and must be in UK. Don't collect for kids outside UK.

The same is my situation too. I had applied on 1st of June for my own healthcare dependant visa extension and ILR for my spouse. I wasn't required to pay IHS. However, both our visas are pending decision from home office. Though my wife made a priority application, we are supposed to get the decisi...

Hello All, We would be extending our visa this Aug as given below. Wife - T2 General (NHS) to Health Care Visa (Same employer) - Cos end date 01-Sep-2024 Dependent - PBS dependent to Health care - will end 01-Sep-2024 I know IHS surcharge is waived for health care workers and dependents during exten...

Thanks CR. So I will ask the employer to grant 3 year cos

though we could apply for ILR in 5 years. Any idea how long we could keep extending the visas ? is it only upto 6 years or no limit?

Hi, Our visas are up for renewal shortly. Currently we are in tier 2 general and pbs dependents (3 years) and would be extending to healthcare visa and dependents. I was hoping the extension would be given for 3 years. But the visa cell of the employer says it will be extended for only 2 years. I un...

Thanks CR. Much Appreciated.

Hi, We are about to extend the Tier2 visa issued in Aug 2019 to Health Care visa coming Aug 2022. My kids passport validity is till Nov 2022. Is it OK to extend dependent visa with passport validity with just 2-3 months while applying for extension within UK. Do we require 3/6 months validity in pas...

This is not a visa or immigration question. :-) Still I am tempted to answer. You can travel to home country multiple times in your visa period, So home office does not keep track of it neither they inform the employer. Other way round , employer does not inform either. Since your last day is decide...

The latest COS overrides the older one. Thats what I understand. So if Skilled worker issues a COS and ICT empoyer extends with new cos, the latest one becomes valid.

If you get Skiller worker sponsorship then dont go for ICT extension. you must notify your ICT employer.

If you are moving to Skilled worker visa then your wife's ICT dependent visa must also be changed. She cant stay in ICT Staff Partner visa if you change. Thats my view.

Within skilled worked visa when you change jobs/sponsors, she need not change. But ICT to skilled worked dependents must change.

No need offer letter. CoS letter has all the details required.

Dear viskrao. In option2 VISA fee remains same. It is only IHS that you pay based on years. It is not 1 year that you pay, but will be 3 years minimum. Going by your case you might need to pay 1 year extension till your wife reaches 5 years and another 3 years block. (Experts can correct me) Are you...

Yes you can. You can give the GWF number or another number in the letter to collect BRP. When you start filling the application it will give you options of what to fill if main applicant has not received a BRP.

Anyone who took more than one supplementary work? Any inputs appreciated.
