Extending PBS Dependent visa, main applicant got ILR already

Post by Nikal91 » Fri Jan 10, 2025 5:10 pm

Hello,

I had Tier 2 worker visa for 5 years and I successfully applied (approved) for ILR a few days ago.

My wife and child joined me 6 months later so unfortunately they received 4.5 years on their visa and now they need to extend it for 3 years in order to get those remaining 6 months to ILR.

I am aware that they need to extend their visa as PBS dependant and not family member. Can you please confirm that I am correct in the following assumptions?

1. My wife should use PBS partner link (partner link) and my child should use PBS child link child link? Are these two links correct (both are safe to click, it is home office application link)?

2. Application for my wife asks me what is the visa of the main applicant. I already received ILR. There is no ILR on the list. I don't even have tier 2 general visa (which I had). Should I chose Skilled worker visa and then write a note that I received ILR (I can share the application reference in that note)?

Thank you!
