Hey guys,
Just a small query. My wife is on tier 2 dependent visa expiring in June 2021 however she would become eligible for ilr in December 2021 which means that I need to apply her extension for 3 years.
I know that NHS surcharge is increasing from this October hence would like to apply for her extension now? Can I apply this early i.e. 9 months in advance?
My status being main applicant is ilr on tier 2 route.
Thanks

As far as I’m aware, there are no grounds under the
immigration rules to refuse an early extension, when all requirements for an extension are met.
The applicable rules for a PBS dependant spouse is
319C.

By the way, your
UK born child is
entitled to register, if born prior to your ILR grant.

Hi Hizzeon, can I know the outcome of your application please? I am in a similar position and would like to know what happened in your case? Did you apply 9 months in advance and your wife got the extension?
Help appreciated
Thanks

Hey,
I am still confused. I checked with couple of lawyers and all of them are confused. Apparently every lawyer says something different. 28 days, 3 months and anytime. I have looked into immigration rules and could not conclude that extension could be rejected due to early application.
Not sure what to do!

There is no restriction on applying early if you choose to. Many people do it for a number of reasons.

Thanks Hizzeon and Char, I think I am going to apply soon (within 3 months but >28 days) and take my chances. Worst thing is I will lose the fee..

Can you please continue in your own topic instead of continuing to tag onto another members thread!!!

I would like to inform everyone that my wife's visa as dependent applicant is successfully granted despite applying 8 months earlier. It seems true that there is no restriction as to how early one can apply when main applicant is on iLR. Thanks

if you don't mind, what was the end date of the extension?
is it 3 years from the time you applied or 3 years after the previous period of leave would have expired?

Extensions are for 3 years from the date of approval!! It is NOT tagged onto the end date if last visa or from date if application!!
