British Citizen wife visa switch

Post by vkuk54321 » Mon Oct 08, 2018 1:56 pm

Hi All,

My wife came to UK in 2016 as an ILR dependent and her visa is due to renewal in April 2019. But recently I have recently got British citizenship.

Can my wife still stay on her same visa and renewal in Apr 2019 (or) She need to switch her visa to British Citizen dependent?

Many thanks for your help in advance.

It's the same visa, whether you hold ILR or are now British.

She can stay in the same visa until she needs to renew next year.
