She
cannot combine time spent under work and dependant visa routes towards ILR. She needs 5 years under any dependant/partner routes to qualify for ILR. She can extend her current visa without issues, even after you get ILR. The extension will be a fixed 3 year visa

Advice is given based on my personal research and experience only. Do NOT contact me via private message for immigration advice

Hi
I am trying to fill application to extend my wife visa, Its asking my current /spouse/patner status> Do i need to give as ILR . I dont see that option its showing Only tier2 Skilled work permit.
Iam unable to go fwd from this stage.
Last week I got ILR . But as i said her tier 2 General PBS dependent visa is going to expiry this month end. Iam confused now whether iam doing write application .
I have selected tier 2 family patner visa extension staying in UK. If i pass my ILR BRP and when it goes to IHS its asking for skilled worked immigration details like work start date and end date . Start date is fine i can give current compant start But end date which i cant give.And also asking for Current BRP expiry for ILR currently it shows till dec since from jan they go by e visa.
Very confusion . Any body has any idea or help will be greatful .

Yep, use your previous onelike work start date and end date . Start date is fine i can give current compant start But end date which i cant give
Put anything in the, it doesn't matter.And also asking for Current BRP expiry for ILR currently it shows till dec since from jan they go by e visa.
Put that there as well. They know the rules.
