PBS Tier-2 dependent visa - extension

[parulagarwal51]

Hello All,

I have a query regarding my Visa application on a Tier 2 PBS dependent. I've provided the below relevant details for their VISA processing.

My husband currently have a ILR and his route was Tier 2 General. My husband got ILR done on 03/09/2018 with expiry to 31-12-2024.

My PBS Tier-2 dependent visa processed in 19-Jan-2018 to 19th Jun-2019. I entered UK on 26/01/2018. Now I am applying for PBS Tier-2 Visa extension.

Clarification required.

1). I would need a PBS dependent visa for a further 3 year 6 months as I would be then eligible for ILR in January of 2023? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

2). My main query is about the PBS dependent visa extension i can apply for, Is it only 3 years i can apply or there is some option i can apply for more than 3 years to get myself eligible for ILR for next visa extension application since if now i apply for 3 year or less i had to apply again for 6 months or 1 year to get eligible for ILR.
Is there any way possible to cover those extra 6 months in current application itself ?

I am planning to submit the VISA via online and hence would need the above information for submission.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Regards,
Parul
