They continue on their existing visa route till they qualify for ILR, provided their visas remain valid till they qualify. The rules permit this.

Thanks Cr001 .One more thing , as it normal extension process that we did when we extend out present stay for dependent?how long we have to apply visa for and do we have to pay NHS fees for whole year although we need visa for 6 months.Please guide.Thanks

Normal PBS Dependent extension and it will be a 3 year extension and £600 IHS payable. You cannot choose a lesser timeframe to apply for and she must apply before her current visa expires.

I think it'll be even 1200 GBP as NHS is planning to raise payments towards 400 GBP per year (somewhen during 2018)

Thanks Cr001 for your guidance.Appreciate that.Is it true pere0026?

There has been no confirmed announcement from HO if or when the IHS will increase.
