Dependent VISA for my wife. Please help!!!

Post by rkkapoor » Fri Mar 10, 2017 5:03 pm

Hi,

My wife entered UK as my Tier 2 General dependent in July 2014 when she was granted a 3 yr dependant Visa.Her VISA is expiring on 14 May 2017. I have obtained ILR in March 2017 through 10 year long residence route.

What visa should my wife apply for her dependant visa extension? Should she apply for FLR M now and then apply for ILR when she completes her 5 years? Or should she apply for PBS dependent extension. Just to clarify that I am on ILR through 10 year long residence route now.

Will applying for FLR M reset the count and her stay would be counted from FLR M visa start for next 5 yrs ? what will be the quickest route for her to apply for her ILR?

What do you suggest ?

What is the form and documents required for the required visa?

Thanks in advance..

As you have been granted ILR under the 10 year long residence route your wife has no choice but to switch to FLR(M), setting her on a new 5 year route (2.5 + 2.5 years) before she qualifies for ILR.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Thanks Guys,

I am uploading docs for UK NARIC.

I have degree certificates and transcripts for her MBA degree awarded in India. However I do not have medium of instruction letter?

Is it ok if I just upload the certificate and transcript for UK NARIC as an English language requirement.

Thanks.
