Visa to Ilr application

Hi all,

I need an advice, my visa is valid until Oct 2024. My husband (main applicant Skilled worker visa) recently changed to a new employer and only submitted (the change of employer application) for HIMSELF due to cost etc. So his new visa is valid until June 2024. I understand as a dependent I don't need to apply new visa as my expiration date will be revised accordingly based on the main application ( please correct me if I'm wrong).

We are planning to apply for the ILR as we are already eligible for the 5 years route. My question is, before we apply for ILR, as a dependent do I need to apply to update the home office about my visa (as my husband did) before we apply for ILR as my husband only updated the home office for himself?

I look forward to hearing from you and thanks in advance. :)

No, this is not how it works at all. Your visa expiry date remains what it is. You only get a new expiry date when ypu apply for a new visa. Nothing changes automatically for you because your spouse got a new visa.
