Spouse Visa - Advice Needed

[VKM]

Needed some advice please.

I got my ILR on Long Residence yesterday via In Person Appointment at Croydon PEO. Before this I was on Tier 2 ICT Long Term.

My wife has Tier 2 ICT Dependent Visa. I now need to apply for her FLR (M) Visa. I am not able to get any appointments currently and just trying to see the soonest I can get. My query is whether there is a problem if I get an appointment 30 days from now or so. Is my wife visa now invalid?

Thanks for help in advance

She must apply before her current visa expires (a date you do not mention in your post)!!

Thanks for the quick reply. The current Tier 2 Dependent expires in August 2019. I guess then the sooner we apply the sooner we can start the 5 year clock.

Correct, so book an appointment for when you can find one. Also remember, the visa fees go up on 6th April, so March is very busy for appointments and are booked up really quickly.

Thanks a lot @CR001. Highly appreciated.
