Hi there,

I am applying for ILR global talent 3-year route. My partner has 3 year global talent dependent visa and she can apply only after 5 years. So, right now, I am applying for ILR separately, and my partner is applying for a visa extension separately. My question is, can she apply for and pay her IHS for 2 years and wait for her 5 year period? I have seen an article saying she can only apply for a three-year extension. In that case, she would have 1 year extra after her ILR qualification. Does anyone have any experience in this?

Cheers

The period of a dependant visa and the IHS fee required is fixed according to the immigration rules. They will not get a shorter period unless the main applicant's visa expiry is less than 3 years. The visa term will always be fixed for the deponents of the ILR holders. She will apply for ILR whenever she is eligible, regardless of how much is left on her visa.
