PBS Dependent Renewal - Main applicant now a British Citizen

[ak001]

Hi,
I originally came to the UK back in April 2009 on a Tier 2 ICT visa and am now a British Citizen. My wife came to the UK as a Tier 2 Dependent (PBS Dependent) in Jan 2014 when i was still on a Tier 2 ICT visa. Her visa is due for renewal in November 2018. I was hoping to get some guidance on the following -

1. I was trying to find the relevant forms and guidance notes on the related process and have only been able to find the guidance notes for family members on Tier 2 visas

Is this the right route to apply so that her 5 year period doesnt get reset and she is able to apply for an ILR after completion of her 5 year period?

2. I tried going through the first few questions on her application and can see they have asked me to provide the main applicants visa route and expiry date. The visa route has tier 2 options however, since I am now a british Citizen, how do i go about giving an expiry date as it seems to be a mandatory field?

Has anyone else gone through this route to get their dependent's visa's renewed? If so can you please help

Thanks

She can extend her PBS Dependent visa. It will be a 3 year extension on the online Tier 2 Dependent partner form, link below.

The second link you have provided is not the correct form. That one will reset her clock to zero.

Thanks a lot for the response and correct link. Just wanted to know how far ahead of the expiry date of the visa can we apply for renewal?

Usually within 28 days before the current one expires. You can apply sooner, postal or in person, if you have travel plans for example.
