Can we always renew a Tier 1 (G)?

[nafe12]

If on a Tier 1 (G) - will we always be able to renew, assuming we meet the points requirements?

E.g. if one might not be able to apply for ILR at the end of 5 years (e.g. due to issues of absences or something), can they just apply for another renewal?
Or have I missed something?


Also, do you think the rules could change? Or would there be some Judicial Review saying they can't change the rules on you (as was in the case where they couldn't change the points for renewal/ILR criteria once someone is in that category).

No, the government has recently flagged changes to close Tier 1(G) extension applications in April 2015.

Hi There,

I am currently on ILR (received after 5 years on Tier 1 general+WP)

My wife came here as Tier 1 dependent in Decmber 2012 (needs to complete 5 year to be ellible for settlement) and her CURRENT leave will expire in May 2014 (When she wouLd have only completed 1.5 years)

A quick question:

What Visa she should apply to extend her visa, Tier 1 dependent ext or FLR (m)?

IF TIER 1 Dependent ext, then as the next extension will be 3 years, which will take her to 4.5 at the end of that ext. So she will be 7 months short at that time. I read on teh forums that extensions are closign NEXT YEAR APRIL 2015.

So what will happen to her, when her new extension will expire in 2017? how will she renew in 2017 (when she will be 7 months short of 5 years required stay) as the TIER 1 extensions are closing next year 2015.


PLEASE ADVISE, i cant find answer to this on the forum

PLEASE ADVISE

Many Thanks in advance

Have roughly the same question -- but why 5 years? SET(O) only says 2 years for spouse?
