My current tier 1 visa is expiring on 6th Feb 2015, and I need to extend one more time inorder to meet the ILR eligibility of 5 years period stay in UK by the month of Sep 2015 .But since the fee is increasing from 6th April and also for my ILR application criteria I'm thinking to apply early on last of this month March/April 2014, which is almost long before my visa expires.
I am worried about the fact that if I apply for extension very early, then is there any chance to reject by case worker telling its a early application or not. Else if it gets approve, which then my new visa starting from applied date of march/april 2014 to next 2 years ahead same time in 2016, so I would be in a good state to meet all requisites of ILR and make my application on Sep2015.
And I would like to extend my wife dependent visa only just before the actual expiry date as she is away from UK now, so l would also like to know whether it would be a problem for getting her visa extension at that time due to my visa is already extended early before her. Also will that affect the ILR application for my wife later when applied with me.
