GTV Dependent Visa Extension after main applicant ILR

Hi all,

I have a query regarding GTV Dependent Visa Extension after main applicant receives ILR. My wife who is the main applicant got ILR through GTV last week. My current GTV dependent visa expires April 2025 but I will only be eligible for ILR end of 2025. So I will need to apply for a visa extension. ( As I understand I can only apply for a 3 year one)

Can I apply for the extension now ? even though I have 1 year left in my visa


I couldn't find any info on this gov.uk site. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
