Skilled visa IHS refund and route to ILR

Post by Kavya belavadi » Wed Jan 20, 2021 11:36 pm

Hi there,
I am applying for skilled visa. If someone can answer below queries it will be helpful
1. If I apply for 5 years by paying IHS of approx £3000, will it be refunded if i switch my visa to dependent/switch my sponsor while on skilled worker?
2. If I am on skilled worker for 3 years living in UK with my husband and then switch to dependent of his skilled visa for next 2 years, can I still apply for ILR at that time?

1. Possibly, no guarantees though.

2. No. You cannot combine main visa time with dependent visa time to make up 5 years for ilr. You need years as skilled worker or 5 years as dependent.
