PBS Dependant Extension - How advance one can apply

[avaismohammad]

Hi there,
I am curious as to which route to go if I want to extend my wife's Tier 2 Dependant Visa.
My wife has a Tier 2 Dependant Visa which was granted when I was under Tier 2.
I recently got my ILR so now to extend her visa which route would be best and eligible?

A Link to the application form would be much appreciated (just for confirmation - https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... 1577216392 ?)
Thanks

Were you granted ILR under the 5 year route to settlement, or long residence

Hi Guys,
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this query. How long before I can apply for my wife's PBS Dependant extension, her current visa expires on 24/11/2020 and we are planning a trip to Canada so would like to apply before the "within 28 days of expiry" which I heard from someone.
Say, can I apply 50-60 days before her current visa expiry?
Any advice appreciated
Thanks

You can apply at any time before the visa expiry date. Note that IHS is increasing in October.

Hi Casa, apologies for the late reply on my previous post. I didnt get back here for a while, I got my ILR after Tier 2 Gen 5 year visa route.

Thank you CR001, thats a relief.
Someone in Facebook forum/page said it has to be within the 28 days and not a day before. I was planning to apply end of September to circumvent round the IHS increase, that would be ok right? (approx. 60 days before)
Thanks

Yes, fine to apply end of september.

Hi Char,
Just thinking about it, a quick one. If I apply 2 months in advance my bank statements will also have to be prior than 2 months would HO accept that?
Thanks

Hi Char, thanks for the reply that answers my question
Also, apologies for asking questions elsewhere, I only asked to people about their outcome to share experience with exactly same question.
Thanks
