Visa Category query

Post by smallichai » Wed Mar 11, 2026 10:20 pm

Hi,

I am applying for my kids visa extension. I have a question on visa category as the primary holder of the skilled worker is now on ILR. So which visa category to choose ?



Thanks

It's still Skilled Worker dependant visa.

The fact that the lead applicant has now ILR is irrelevant.

The questions are not so straight forward, for example :

What's the end date of visa ? For an ILR holder what could we enter here

Use the formula: application date + 3 years − 1 day for visa (or CoS) start and end date. It'll calculate IHS for 3 years.
