Making corrections after submitting Online Application

[rk050776]

Dear Friends,

This Forum had been very helpful and got most accurate information all the times. I now need some information about Tier 1 Dependant Extension and request your valuable advice.

I am the Primary Tier 1 General Applicant and I got my ILR on 15th July 2016. I have recently (15/09/2017) applied for my Naturilisation and the status is Awaiting Decision from the past 2 months. All my dependants (Spouse & 2 Kids) are still on Tier 1 General Dependant visa and they are due for extension before 30th Jan 2018. Now I would like to apply for my dependants extension via Postal Service.

As I am still on ILR and waiting for Naturilsation Process to be completed, what should be the status should I mention in PBS Dependant Form? If I mention my status as ILR and if I get the Naturilastion approved before their extension is approved, how would I handle this? Would it create any problems?

I am trying to avoid same day service for my dependants as it costs nearly 1800 GBP extra for all 3 of them. I would appreciate if you could guide me on this matter.

How long does it take to get the extension done if I apply using Postal service.

Mention ILR as that is the current status you hold. No issue.

Postal take up to 8 weeks.

Dear Friends,

Please can you tell me the difference between submitting Application Online and using Same Day Service? Can I submit Application Online and choose a date for Same Day Service? My dependant extension is valid until end of January 2018. How many days before should I apply if I use Same Day Service??

You can apply online and do postal OR apply online and do premium service.

Can I submit Application Online and choose a date for Same Day Service?

Yes.

My dependant extension is valid until end of January 2018. How many days before should I apply if I use Same Day Service??

Usually within 28 days before it expires. It will be a 3 year extension.

Thanks for your answer. Things have turned differently in the last 3 days. I was about to send the Application by Post and made everything ready. In the meanwhile my Naturalisation status has been changed from "Awaiting Decision" to "Decided", which means I would get my approval letter in this week and Ceremony will be fixed soon.

At this stage would you suggest me to still continue with Postal Application or get my British Passport and apply same day service??
Only thing I am worried is I am showing ILR status in the Dependant application and if I become a British Citizen while the Postal Application is being approved, would it make any difference for the dependants??? Please advise guys....

Makes no difference. HO can see your details if they check and what you declare on the form would be correct at the time of posting.

You can add a note but it makes no difference really.

Dear Friends,

After submitting the PBS dependant application online I realised, I forget to mention my Spouse's maiden name. I realised only after making the payment. Please can you guide me how to correct this? Would it have any impact on decision?

[CR001]

Correct by hand using black pen.

[rk050776]

You mean in the Application Print? Can I make corrections and send it. Just worried whether it would have any impact on decision?

[CR001]

Yes.

No impact.
