Tier 2 General Extension and ILR

[abbey_london]

Hi guys

Currently, I’m on Tier 2 General visa. Can someone help me with the following queries please:

1-What documents are required for Tier 2 General visa extension for myself and my dependent as we both are applying at the same time?

2-My ILR is due April next year based on 10 year long residency route. Will my dependent have to send FLR (M) application along with my ILR application or can they wait until I’ve got a decision on my ILR and then apply within say a couple of months?

3-My employer’s licence is expiring May next year, which would be roughly 15 days after I’ve already sent my ILR application. Will the employer still need to renew their licence for me to get a letter from them to show to HO, that they need me for foreseeable future for my ILR application or it doesn’t matter?

Appreciate any help please.

2-My ILR is due April next year based on 10 year long residency route. Will my dependent have to send FLR (M) application along with my ILR application or can they wait until I’ve got a decision on my ILR and then apply within say a couple of months? wait and apply, as FLR (M) is only for a dependent of a settled person.

3-My employer’s licence is expiring May next year, which would be roughly 15 days after I’ve already sent my ILR application. Will the employer still need to renew their license for me to get a letter from them to show to HO, that they need me for foreseeable future for my ILR application or it doesn’t matter? It could be an issue as technically you lose your certificate of sponsorship as your employer lose their license hence you could apply using premium service.

Appreciate any help please.

Hi,

If you all apply at the same time and is an extension application, maintenance is not required, you'll only have to submit valid passports, brps and two photographs for each applicant, you will get to know once you complete the online form anyway.

In your case, no letter whatsoever is required from employer or yourself, a correct COS number will be sufficient UKVI will be verifying your and employer details by COS number using their system.

KR,

thank you guys for your reply.

I believe the maintenance funds are required whether it is a first time application or extension application. Please correct me if I am wrong. (anybody)
