PBS Dependant Query - Tier 1 (General)

[tshukla]

Hi All,

Thanks for your help guys! thanks to you, my ILR application was successful.

I havwe a question on behalf of my wife. I got my Tier 1 (General) on October 05, 2011 and got my ILR on September 9, 2016. My Tier 1 (General) visa was due to expire on October 05, 2016. My wife joined me in Uk on May 10, 2013 on Tier Dependant visa. I wanted to check should she apply as a PBS dependant?

Also, if yes, should she pay to get the IHS reference number.

Lastly, for sponsorship, we need to help with a maintenance fund of £630. Do you know the tenure for which we need to show this maintenance fund? - Is it 3 months or 6 months or more?

Thanks!

She can continue to extend her current visa until she qualifies for ILR. See link below.

Yes, she has to pay the immigration health surcharge before she can submit.
