PBS dependent visa expires on 25th sep 2017.

can we apply for extension in June 2017 or is it too early.

Hi, I am a bit confused about whether I can apply for the extension just now, as I am getting mixed information about, not being able to apply for extension, if you have 3 months or more of valid visa. The PBS dependent visa is Ending in 25 Sep 2017. Which is still 3 month and a bit away. So can we ...

So there is no time frame within which she has to apply for extension? Because if thats the case we would just do it now and get it done and if we get the visa soon, may e apply for ILR at the same time. I read it somewhere on the forum regarding NHS refund if applied for ILR within the year of payi...

Hi CR001, I am not sure what you meant about applying any time. Do you mean that I can apply rite now for an extension?

Also if completes those 5y as a PBS dependent. And I have a BC already, I thought Dependents of BC could skip ILR and apply for BC directly. Is that true or they get an opportunity to ILR and apply for BC immediately as a dependent of BC?

Thanks. I am not sure how the NHS fees workout, if we have 3 months for ILR and to cover that period we get the tier 2 extension, wont the NHS fees system see that she has 3 months to complete her and term and not charge for the whole term, which ever they give her. Its kind of a lot of meny spent o...

I have a query, do they charge NHS Fees for whole 2y extension, but my wife only will have 3 months before ILR. Secondly my wife would complete 10y by 2019 sep, as she arrived in UK as a student in 2009, so strangely, if we do a tier 2 extension next year for the sake of 3 months which makes her eli...

HI Vinay,

When you say 1 and it can be varied, I am a bit confused there. Is it that if the decision hasnt come in by that time, I can contact UKBA and ask them to chnage the application to ILR?

Hi All, I am looking to avoid paying ridiculous amounts of fees to UKBA, as they dont have certain flexibility in their system. My wife is on PBS tier 2 dependent extended visa, but due to short pitfall, she will be 3 months short to complete her 5y in UK before ILR in Dec 2017. As per the rules she...

Could you give me the link to the correct application. And finally do we have to pay for Nhs as well with this extension application.

Sorry let me clarify things my partner was a student here before we got married. She arrived in 2009 as a student and then did 2 years on PSW. She shifted to tier 2 dependent in Jan 2013. And then as I was applying for ILR, she extended her pbs dependent visa in 2014. Now her current PBS visa expire...

Hi, My partners pbs dependent extension visa expires in sep 2016 and she needs 3 months more to complete 5 year term in UK, for ILR. I am a british citizen thru tier 2 visa 5y route. So could some one inform what application should be used or is there any transitional visa which is a short visa to c...

I think the leave EU referundum would have more side effects on UKs Trade and free movement any thing else. Rather than that there should have been restrictions on EU citizens to UK benefits for 5 years, till then they have to work to earn and would have paid back to the state in form of tax etc.
