Post by vishnu7885 » Fri Jul 31, 2026 11:21 am

The idea that you need full 5 years is a misunderstanding. You are not short of anything as you do NOT need full 5 years to get ILR. This advice has been given many times and for years

Has anyone experienced a Home Office visa route error like this

Post by vishnu7885 » Mon Aug 17, 2026 11:15 am

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice from anyone who has experienced something similar.

My partner is a Skilled Worker, and in 2021 I applied as their Skilled Worker dependant. However, when I received my successful decision, the Home Office granted me Graduate dependant leave instead.

I was expecting the Skilled Worker dependant route, but my decision showed the Graduate route. I was also granted 5 years, even though I understand the Graduate route was normally 2 years at that time.

I checked my original application and I am sure that I applied under the Skilled Worker dependant route. I believe this may have been a Home Office/technical error.

At the time, I contacted the Home Office by email to explain the issue, but unfortunately I did not receive a response.

I am now about 4 months away from applying for ILR, and I’m worried that the incorrect visa route on my record could affect my ILR application. also now my e visa showing dependent only

Has anyone had the same situation?
If so, did the Home Office correct the visa route, and did it affect your ILR application?

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been through something similar. Thank you.

The route of a dependant under skilled worker rules, does not matter
