Re: Advice on ILR Timing and Dependant Visa Extension

Yes dependents can apply for a Skilled Worker dependent visa. The rules allow this. You use the last CoS you husband had. UKVI do know the rules! It is a 3 year extension as stated in the immigration rules. You cannot apply for a lesser duration. Visa and ihs fees are payable for 3 years for each ...

Re: Global Talent dependant extension – main applicant has ILR and form asking for visa end date

The new visa start date will be date of approval.

You really are splitting hairs here. Just pick a date and work out 3 years and apply.

Re: Global Talent dependant extension – main applicant has ILR and form asking for visa end date

If she applies on 17th Jan then you put an end date of 16th Jan 2029 to get 3 years IHS.

If you put even one day past 3 years, you will be charged extra IHS.

Re: British Citizenship application timing

Now having spent a full year on ILR, I should be able to apply for citizenship. You mentioned I should wait until August. You state you got ILR in June 2025, so you have not had ILR for a year.

Re: Visa for the Child who born outside the UK - When father is on ILR and Mother is on Skilled worker Depended Visa

You apply for a Skilled Worker dependent visa. You applying or becoming British at some point is irrelevant.

Had the child been born in the uk, the child would have been British automatically.

Re: Conflicting Home Office Updates: "IT Issue" vs. "Outstanding Check" & What Next?

I am answering only on two of your points. The "Success Penalty": The current system disproportionately creates indefinite delays for applicants with "heavier" CVs (STEM PhDs, higher tax brackets, global careers). These attributes trigger external checks that simpler applications don't. The result ...

Daughter is UK born. She doesn't need ILR to register as British once parent gets ilr. The OP has stated this clearly.
