Tier 1 ILR - Dependant

[pulok.paul]

Dear Experts,

I need your assistance on below points. I would really appreciate any comment on below.

I am on Tier 1 General visa and will be applying for ILR in the month of Aug 2015. My wife is currently on dependant visa. While I apply for ILR in the month of Aug 2015, my wife will not be eligible for ILR as she joined me in the UK on Dec 2013.

I will be extremely thankful if you address my below questions,

1. Under which Visa catagory I need apply for my wife's extension considering she is not eligible for ILR?
2. Can I apply for my wife's extension along with my ILR application? Or do I need to first apply for me first and after successful completion of my visa, I need to apply for my wife?

3. How long will my wife should be applying for her dependant visa. I would assume she might get for 3 to 4 years of extension to make her eligible for ILR?
Is there any UKBA rule book which clarifies this?

1. She can continue to extend on PBS Dependent form Here (Click), PBS Dependent Policy Guidance (Click) and Caseworker Guide/Instruction (Click)

2. Yes, you can apply in person on the same day. Book her appointment separate from yours, a couple of hours later.

3. Probably 3 years extension

She will also have to pay the IHS Surcharge, £600 for 3 year extension, see Here (Click)

Dear Experts,

I have one more query on this.

Can I apply for my wife's dependant visa extension with the ILR approval letter rather than BRP card.
The reason I am asking this question - I intend to apply for my ILR application and dependant visa extension for my wife on the same day and that is only possible if UKBA accept ILR approval letter for my wife's dependant visa extension.

Appreciate your help.

Regards
Pulock

If you are applying for both on the same day, book your wife's appointment for a couple of hours after yours. They will have a record of your ILR application but it should not be any issue at all to extend her PBS Dependent visa on the same day.

Hello CR001/Vinny/Mods/Seniors,

I am in a similar situation. I have been granted ILR this month (I was on Tier 1 (G) prior). My wife joined me in March 2013 so, she will be eligible for ILR only by 2018. I will have to apply for her PBS dependent extension in the month of December next year when her current leave under Tier 1 (G) dependent expires. My questions are - in her application for both PBS dependent (Dec 2016) & ILR applicaiton (March 2018):

1) Do I need to show maintenance fund for three months prior to her application?
2) Do I need to earn/show my income like I did for my earlier Tier 1 extension? As I am a contractor & If I am not in any contract will it affect my wife's application?

Please accept my apologies if these things have been discussed earlier. I would be really glad if you can shed some light on these above questions.

Thanks in advance!!

For PBS dependent extension - yes and for ILR - No
2) Do I need to earn/show my income like I did for my earlier Tier 1 extension? As I am a contractor & If I am not in any contract will it affect my wife's application?
No you dont need to show any income and it wont effect your wife's application if you are out of a contract

Please accept my apologies if these things have been discussed earlier. I would be really glad if you can shed some light on these above questions.

Thanks in advance!!
