Thanks, appreciate your help.CR001 wrote:1. Correct yes
2. Your wife can continue to extend her PBS Dependent visa, close to its expiry, until she meets the 5 year residence and qualifies for ILR.
She can continue as PBS dep until she qualifies for ILR. Your British citizenship does not change her visa status1) Under what category, my wife visa be extended is I get the citizenship approval before her current visa expires.
See #1 above, the same applies.2) if I don't get citizens approval before her current visa expires, then she should extend her current visa as PBS dependant
3) we are planning for 2 weeks breaks around Christmas ( 15 DEC to 02 Jan). I will apply for neutralisation on 24/11/2016.
- would this travel will impact my citizen ship application ? No. Assuming you are applying through NCS.
- someone mentioned that my wife may face challane while returning from holiday on 02/01/2017 as her dependant visa at that time will be valid only for next 15 days ( until 17/01/2017). No she should not. She has a valid visa within the rules and can enter the UK on the last day of validity. Don't listen to 'someone' down the pub.
- Also, how long her visa extension process will take. Depends if she applies in person or by post.
She is free to work for any employer, why would she want to be restricted to one sponsoring employer, it doesn't make sense. Yes, it will reset her clock to zero and she will have to wait a new 5 year period before she will qualify for ILR. She also can only apply for Tier 2 G from home country.Finally, if her current employer sponsor her a Tier 2 General visa ( as she may switch job soon), should she switch to Tier 2 G in the UK. Will doing so, reset her clock.

How long does it take to extend PBS dependant visa if applying by post vs in person. Also, what are the fees
Note that she would need only 14 months extension as she will comple 5 years in the uk on 10 March 2018. She first got her dependant visa in India on 10/03/2013 and entered uk on 17/03/2013. Her visa has been extended once in 2014, and current visa is valid till 17/01/2017.
Thanks
