I am currently on a tier 2 visa (expiring in June 2023) and It is going to be my 5 year anniversary on 20th July this year (my visa started in July 2017)
My wife is currently on a tier2 dependent visa(expiring in June 2023).
She starts living with me in the UK with that visa 2 years later than my visa start date:
Sep 2019 - July 2020 (tier 2 dependent)
July 2020 - Present (tier 2 dependent) (another application because my visa was renewed in July 2020)
I am going to apply for my ILR in July but I am not sure what to do with my wife's visa so that she will not reset her 5 years of her ILR application. I have some questions:
1) As her dependent visa is expiring in June 2023, Do I still need to renew her visa when I apply for my ILR visa in June/July 2022? Can I renew her visa later but before June 2023?
2) If I need to renew her visa, what is the most appropriate timing to do so? Should I submit the application to renew her current visa at the same time as when I apply for my ILR?
3) Which type of visa for my wife should I apply for?
4) Any tips or things I should have in mind? As I have heard some cases where their dependent who join late got their 5 year reset due to some mistakes. (maybe a wrong visa type)
Many thanks!
