Dear senior members;
I would appreciate your advise regarding the following:
1. I came to the UK on Tier 2 for 3 years from 2/1/2017 until 1/1/2020.
2. Family Had a Tier 2 Dependent Visa PBS from 16/1/2017 til 15/1/2020.
However I had a better job opportunity later the following year, which a changed the employer with a new 12 months COS which was extended a couple of times.
at the time I did not change the visa for my dependents.
The current situation is : My current visa expires in 12/4/2020, and my employer is issuing a new COS for another 12 months.
A.The HR is not willing to issue the COS early ( they are Aiming to issue that in the 13/1/2020) as they said it can not be issued before 3 months from my visa expiry date ( is that true?). is there a way to apply earlier than the 13/1/2020 with A COS of a start date of 12/4/2020?.
B. I am worried that delays will happen and my family visa will be curtailed, should I apply now for extension for them ( from 15/1/2020 until 12/4/2020) to avoid the hassle?, and then apply again with the new COS for us together for another 12 months?.
C. if I did point B Would I have to pay the IHS for 3 years twice for dependents?, or is there a way around this?!.
thank you all for your help.
