Tier 2 Child dependent visa extension

Post by Vijand » Tue Sep 26, 2023 11:11 am

Hi,
I came to the UK in 2016 October in ICT visa along with my family (ICT dependents).
Subsequently, my wife and I changed to Tier 2 visas and my children are dependents on my wife's visa.

My company issued COS for 5 years in and my current Tier 2 visa is valid till Jan 2027.
My wife's company issued COS for 3 years and her Tier 2 visa is valid till Oct 2023. Her company has issued a new COS for another 2 years (until Sep 2025) and she is due to apply for her skilled worker visa extension next week.

She will be eligible for ILR by Oct 2025 (via skilled worker route), however I'll be eligible only in Oct 2026 (via 10 years route) or in Jan 2027 (via skilled worker route).

Question: We have to apply for extension for our children next month (as they are dependents on my wife's visa now). If we change them as dependents on my visa,
1. Will they get visa till Jan 2027 (my visa expiry date)?
2. Or will they get visa only until my wife's visa expiry date (probably Oct 2025 with her new 2 years COS)?

They will get a visa expiry date in line with the parent whosr visa expires the soonest, so yput wifrs, regardless of who their visa is dependent in.

This is stated in the immigration rules.
