Spouse visa extension for partner of British Citizen (Tier 1 Entrepreneur)

Post by lollypop313 » Sat Nov 27, 2021 10:16 am

I became British Citizen last year after spending 5 years on Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa. My wife joined me as a partner dependent when i was on Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa. Her visa is expiring in December 2021 and she has spent 4 years as a dependent on me. We have 2 kids, both hold British passport. I am not fulfilling the financial requirements as Covid made us to claim UC. Please how can i extend her visa for 1 year so that she completes her 5 years as a dependent and qualifies for ILR. if possible, please provide appropriate link for applying visa. Thank you in advance.

Thank you so much for your prompt reply.

Can we choose to apply for 1 year extension only as we need just 1 year extension to completed 5 years

Thank you.

No you can't. It is a 3 year extension as stated in the rules and there is no discretion to apply for a lesser period.

You have both nationalities, you can use any. This has no influence on the application
