Dependent visa for ILR main applicant

[hpsanampudi]

Hi,
I am currently having ILR (Completed 5 years on Tier 2 General visa route) in UK, where my wife and children's completed 2 years 10 months on my previous Tier 2 (General) dependent visa.
Now they need to go for extension in the month of september, 2020.

Question:
1. In which category do I need to apply for dependent visa to my family?
2. If I switch category will the new period counts for ILR?

1. Tier 2 dependent visa. You need to meet the 90 days maintenance funds requirement, which is mandatory.

2. If you switch their category to FLR(M), their 5 year ILR clock resets to zero and they have to wait a new 5 years (2 x 2.5 year visas) before they can apply for ILR.

I have a question for you.
As per your suggestion, If I am applying Tier 2 dependent visa to family members then
1. Do I need to provide my Last COS number? If Yes, at present I am not working for Tier 2 sponsored employer where I have switch the job after ILR. In this case how does it works?

[CR001]

1. Yes, you have to provide your last cos and sponsor details. It is irrelevant though who you work for since you have ilr.

I have one more final question to you.
In my COS it is mentioned as
Tick to certify maintenance for migrant (and dependants, if applicable): Y

Question:
1. Do I still need to show maintainance of funds for last 90 days? (even though I switch Tier 2 employer afer ILR?)

You need to provide bank statements showing maintenance funds for a minimum of 90 days of £630 for EACH dependent applying for an extension. There is no other way you can meet the maintenance requirement.

Sorry, questions keep on coming when I am going through my COS document.
In my COS the work dates are mentioned as below.
Work dates
Start date: 20 January 2018
End date: 05 October 2020

Question:
In this scenario, as suggested applying Tier 2 dependent extension visa to family members based this COS is valid? We have only one valid month if I apply it on Sepetember 2020.

Yes, it is the correct visa to apply for if you got ILR based on 5 years tier 2 general. They simply need to apply before their current visas expire.

Thank you very much for youe support.

Hi Team,
To recap the issue quickly, I am having ILR. As per your suggestion, I am applying Tier 2 (General) extension visa to my dependants.
Question:
While paying IHS surcharge, it is asking Main application Visa route. I have selected Tier 2 (General) and entered my last Tier 2 visa expiry date which is 19-10-2020
The amount to pay to IHS is showing only £200/- is it correct?

No. Dependants’ leave may be granted for 3 years under 319D(a)(ii) and 319I(a)(i). The IHS should be for 3 years.

[hpsanampudi]

In this case, which visa expiry date do i need to provide for IHS surcharge?
ILR expiry date: 31-12-2024
Tier 2 (General) expiry date: 19-10-2020

I have selected Tier 2 (General) as it make sense I am applying visa extension based on my previous Tier 2 (general).

But there is no option to select visa route for ILR in IHS website. Do you have any idea?
Shall I enter ILR expiry date with Tier 2 visa route?

[vinny]

Can you enter a date that’s 3 years in the future?
