She applied her entry clearance in August 2012 after new rule. She entered UK in January 2013. Her first extension on tier- general was done in July 2014.

I am a British citizen and my route was 5 years on Tier-1 General. My wife is short of 5 months to complete her 5 years on Tier-1 General dependent visa. So therefore, she needs another extension of Tier-1 General dependent. For the extension, how much maintenance funds are required to be maintained...

Thank you very much for your reply. I have got two more questions: 1. When my wife is going to apply for Tier-1 extension to complete her 5 years, does she have to pay NHS surcharge? 2. Secondly, if we leave this country before getting her ILR then if we decide to come back then do we have to apply ...

I received my ILR last year in July after spending 5 years on Tier-1 general. I am now applying for naturalisation this month. I have a question regarding my wife status. My wife received her tier-1 dependent in August 2012 after July 2012 rules and joined me in UK in January 2013. She is at the mom...

Any one?

My next question is that can me and my wife (PBS Dependent) book PEO appointment for the same day? Would it be one PEO appointment for both of us or do we need to book two different appointments?

Thanks Amber for your reply. option 2 may restart the time to settlement to a new 5 year period is it in UKBA guidance notes?

I am a Tier-1 general holder and would be eligible for settlement under five years rule in August 2014. My wife was granted Tier-1 dependent visa in August 2012 and she moved to UK in January 2013. I understand that she has to live with me in UK for five years in order to be eligible for settlement....

Is there any reference to these guidelines?

What would be the implications if I apply more than three months in advance? Are there any risks?

1. It has to signed by marriage Registrat..go to your local tehsil office (if you are from India) and they would do this for you.. 2.Yes thats true...why would you need to do that..The turnaround time is 1 month ..why would you want to apply before 3 month...

Couple of more questions:

1) Do we have to get marraige certificate attested if it is in English?
2) Secondly UKBA site states: 'You can apply for a visa up to 3 months before your date of travel to the UK'. Does this means we can not apply more than 3 months before the date of travel?

For example if my wife gets visa in Sep but she joins me in December, can it be any problem?
