Tier 2 Dependent extension after Main applicant get ILR

[Gupta11]

Hi All,

I have received my ILR last year . My wife is not eligible for ILR yet and she is on Tier 2 General dependent visa (my previous grant before ILR) . Now, I need to extend my wife's visa, can you please advise under what category I need to extend her VISA?

Do I need to extend my wife visa as Tier 2 dependent? If Yes then I need to provide my CoS and sponsor details but I am not with my sponsor company anymore now. Please suggest

Many Thanks
Gupta

Yes, PBS dependent visa.

Provide your last sponsor details. Who your current employer is, is irrelevant.

[Gupta11]

Thank you for the response.

So do I need to provide my previous CoS details? if yes it is expired now...
Do I need to provide bank statement of my wife to show the funds (£650) maintenance for 90 days?
Can you please help me with the link for the application? I tried for the online application link but just to make sure I am on the right path.

Many Thanks for your quick responses and help CR001

Thanks
Gupta

okay cool thank you so much;

So are you very sure that can apply Tier 2 dependent extension though we are in ILR (ILR from Tier 2 Gen)
Bit scared of the situation.

No, I can in the ancestry visa route.

Many have applied and been successful. You are perhaps overthinking and being a bit paranoid.

Hi Cr001,

I have a quick question please: my wife bank statement was under GBP630 in the first week of 90 consecutive days for her funds maintenance;
My question here is:

1.) Can I use my bank statement for her funds maintenance GBP 630 for 90 days? or
2.) can I add my wife name into my bank account to make it a joint account?

please suggest....thanks

[CR001]

1. Yes. Either your or your wife.

2. Not required to be in joint names.
