Status of Dependent on T1 once Main applicant gets ILR
Posted: Mon Jan 18, 2021 8:53 pm
Hello there,
I've T1 - Exceptional Talent visa until June 2023. Due to change in rules about mandatory stay period (from 5 years to 3 years), I became eligible to apply for ILR in Dec 2020 and have already submitted my ILR application. My wife is dependent on me and she will complete her 5 years of mandatory stay in June 2023. So I have following questions -
1. Is there any effect on wife's work rights and stay here in UK, once I switch to ILR? (as she's dependent on my T1 Visa)
2. Can I get refund of IHS fees for remaining & un-used period of T1 visa (i.e.Jan2021-June2023 about 2.5 years)?
I am grateful to the Immigration Board and Experts for their guidance at various stages during last 3 years.
Kind regards,
SK
