Tier-1 Dependant extension after Main Applicant gets ILR

[SN14]

Hi,

I was on Tier-1 General when I got married in 2013, hence my wife entered UK as Tier-1 dependent visa valid till May-2015. In 2014 I got my ILR. As per current rules which Visa do I need to apply for my wife taking into consideration that she will be applying for ILR after completing 5 years stay in UK.

1. PBS Tier-1 Dependent
or
2. Further Leave to remain (FLRM)

If I apply for FLRM will the period of her stay in UK on Tier-1 Dependent be considered for ILR calculations.

She will apply further extension as PBS tier 1 dependent until she qualify for ILR after 5 years.

If she applies FLR(M) her continuous residence clock will reset and she have to spend again 5 years to qualify for ILR.

Thanks for your reply. If she applies for further extension as Tier-1 dependant how long that visa will be valid. As per new guidelines from UKV&I, Tier-1 extension is going to be ceased in April 2015. If my wife gets an extension say 2 or 3 years, she will still fall short of 5 years ILR cireteria by18 or 6 months, in that case will she be able to apply for further extension.

Tier 1 General closing for main applicants not for dependents she can extend until she qualify for ILR

I am on similar situation, but having British Passport now, my wife is still on PBS Dependant which expires on 14-03-2015.

Initially, she applied 'Tier 1 General Dependant Visa' on 31-Jul-2012 from India and came to UK on 01-Sep-2012.
She got PBS Depedant on 14-Mar-2013, sametime I had been granted ILR.

My question is - Can I apply for PBS Dependant extension for my wife or do I need to apply FLR(M)?

If I need to swictch to FLR(M), can I still apply ILR for her in Aug'2017?

Hi,

I have a related question. I have Tier-1 general visa valid until Jan 2017. I am planning to apply for Tier1 dependent visa for my wife from India. As soon as she gets Tier1 dependent visa, I want to apply for my ILR from UK. My question is will her Tier1 dependent visa still be valid after I get my ILR? Can she travel to UK from Tier-1 dependent with out any issues.

Thanks

Hello, What happens if she applies for FLR(M) - Gets 2.5 years' leave and then applies Tier 1 G dependant again ?
My wife is in a similar dilema - she has completed 1.5 years and I am getting ILR soon. She can extend as Tier 1 General dependant but it will be only for 3 years and at the end of that , she will be short of 6 months only for ILR so we need another extension. Its going to be expensive (T1g dependent (£1736 + £600-NHS Surcharge) * 2).
Another option I am thinking is extend as FLR(M) and after a year apply again for Tier 1 G dependant. ILR rules say that most recent leave should be as a PBS dependant in 5 year period.

Any takes?
