New BPR for spouse of a person who newly obtained ILR

Post by uhd4k » Thu Mar 16, 2023 12:18 am

Hello,

If person Alpha has obtained ILR based on a Tier 1 visa, how could they renew/replace their spouse's soon-to-expire BPR? That BPR was obtained as 'Depedent' before ILR was obtained by person Alpha.

Thanks.

Which Tier 1 category?

Probably may extend under the same dependant category to complete the qualifying period for ILR.

Tier 1 Exceptional Talent.

Does the dependent need to apply for a visa extension or just BPR extension? The difference is about £1000.

Unfortunately, I think one cannot extend a BRP without extending leave, unless it’s an ILR BRP.

You need to apply for a visa extension under the Global Talent dependant route
