Tier 2 Gerenal Dependent Extension - General or General SOC ?? with Partner on ILR

Post by Tier2Dep01 » Sat May 11, 2019 3:11 pm

Hi,

I'm currently on Tier 2 General SOC dependent visa. I will be applying for extension in june 2019 and i,m confused as to which category i should be applying. My partner will be moving to ILR in few days. Should i apply in Tier 2 General visa or Tier 2 General SOC visa as this was what i was granted earlier.
If i apply in Tier 2 General SOC, how will i prove this as my partner will be on ILr and his job will no longer be having or needing a cos for soc.

Also to prove we live together if i provide marriage certificate from india is it sufficient along with bank statement of mine listing the address and of my partners statement separately showing the same address. we dont have a joint account.

Please help me as i m very confused and dont want to reset my clock for ILR and also end up being my visa rejected.

Is your spouse applying for ILR based on 5 years tier 2 or based in 10 years long residence??

Your tier 2 dependent extension will be for 3 years. Nothing you need to prove regarding your spouse. The online form will ask for all the relevant information.

You need more than just a marriage certificate. You need evidence of cohabitation at the same address in the UK for the last 2 years, at least 6 different items spread over the 2 years.

I don't have sight of the online forms. You simply need to answer the questions honestly based on the tier 2 migrants last visa details.

Hi, i suggest you to take help from immigration lawyer. Its worth spending money rather than taking risk.
