Redundancy, Curtailement and impact on Tier 2 PBS Dependents

[NAR00]

Dear all,

I have couple of questions relate to this topic, for which I hope you can help me with your valuable expertise.

I am on T2G visa, my employment will be terminated on 29 March 2018 as an outcome of redundancies, my wife is on a T2G PBS Dependent visa, both visas do expire in 2021.

Provided I managed to land a job offer after a proper RLMT is conducted and an UCOS is assigned to me while I am still waiting for the curtailement letter, my questions are:

1. I should apply for a fresh T2G with the new employer sponsorship UCOS, I will have to give up my BRP card as part of the new visa application - Should the new visa application be unsuccessful, will I get my old BRP card back?

2. Does my wife need to apply with me as a dependent or she can keep her current T2G PBS Dependent visa till 2021? If she needs to apply as a dependent, does it make a difference if she applied after I get my new T2G visa?

3. Same question no. 2 above, however this time assuming I am applying for my new T2G visa after receiving my curtailement letter and before the 60-days deadline.

Many thanks in advance for your advise & inputs. I looked a lot in this forum for a similar scenario, unfortunately could not find an answer...
