You risk your dependents being refused and then being without leave to remain since their last visas expired. You should have varied their applications or applied for FLR(M) at the same time, requesting HO to hold their apps till your ILR was processed. If you don't ask HO to do this, it isn't always done, it is not automatic as PBS Dependent and FLR(M) are completely different visa categories and immigration rules with different requirements and evidence.My understanding was only I had to vary as only I completed the long residency and they will address my dependants as the same was happened with my friends application. Home Office corresponded with his dependant to apply into another category as her main applicant has varied the application and then they varied the dependants application.
Never assume anything when it comes to HO. It is ALWAYS the applicants responsibility to make sure they have made the correct application. applied in time and are not overstayers. You don't get a 'return of the fee' if their visas are refused. If you varied or vary their application you have to pay the fees and IHS again. The earlier Tier 1 Dep fees paid might be refunded.They have never written to my dependants, they are still holding their passports and never returned the fee so obviously OVERSTAYING is not something which I should be worried of? Am I right?
Yes, provided their current pending application is not refused before you submit a new app or variation. They still require 10 years of lawful residence so best to act sooner rather than later.then can my dependant go to ILR LR in AUG 2022
