Hi,

I am currently on skilled worker visa which is valid till March 2025.
My partner and kids are on the Skilled worker PBS dependent visa valid till same time i.e March 2025.

I am going to be eligible for ILR on 10 year route in couple of weeks.
However my dependents will be eligible after an year for 10 yr ILR route. Have following queries regarding my dependents :

If I apply in couple of weeks and hopefully receive my ILR ( via 10 yr Long residence route) what will happen to my dependents visas.

1. Can they continue on the same PBS dependent visa and travel in and out of UK.

2. What happens to the validity of their PBS dependent visa if I change jobs post ILR.

Thanks in Advance.

Nothing happens. They remain as normal under their visa route and apply for ILR when eligible under the skilled worker route

No more ILR clock reset for skilled worker dependants, when the main applicant settles under the long residence

Thanks for the response. It really helps.
So they will continue on their PBS dependent visa and can apply for ILR via 10 yr Long residence next year as they will be getting eligible for that route earlier than 5 yr route right ?
