ICT Tier 2 Visa Extension

[NaveenatUK]

Hello everyone, this is Naveen here, I am new to this group and I have a query regarding ICT tier 2 dependent visa. It would be helpful if some one from this group could answer.

My cousin's fiance works for an MNC in Chennai (India), now she is working in London (UK) for one of their clients with ICT Tier 2 visa for a period of 2 years since August 2017 and her visa expires on August 2019. My cousin is getting married during December 2018 after which he wanted to move to UK as her dependent, my cousin's fiance is planning to apply for 2 years extension (till August 2021) which she will get most likely.

Query 1: Can she apply for visa extension during December 2018 itself? In this case, she is applying for visa extension 8 months before the actual visa expiration date (August 2019). Only if she get visa extension in December'18, she can process dependent visa for her spouse right?

Query 2: Is tenancy agreement mandatory to apply dependent visa under ICT tier 2?

Only if she get visa extension in December'18, she can process dependent visa for her spouse right?

No. Why would your think that. The dependent can apply for a visa and it will be granted with the same expiry date as the main ICT visa holder. They can then BOTH apply for an extension in August next year.
