Tier 2 Dependent Visa - Main Applicant BC

[talhachohan]

My apologies if I should have started a separate thread but I thought it'd be helpful for others in similar situations to get as many answers in one place as conveniently possible.

Thanks for posting as I was in a similar situation and couldn't find the link to apply. I have clicked the above link given by CR001 and filled out the application form.

My situation is that I got ILR based on a 5-year duration spent on Tier 2 General visas with several employers. I am now a British citizen and my wife is currently on Tier 2 dependant visa expiring on 27th January 2021 bringing her total stay at 4 years and 2 months(10 months short of ILR ).

CR001 or any other expert, can you please also help with the below questions:

Q1 - Am I right to understand that my wife has to extend her visa as a Skilled Worker dependant now? I am worried that her clock may reset if she applies for a "Skilled worker dependant" visa switching from Tier 2 dependant visa?

Q2 - On IHS form they are asking about Main Applicant's Visa Route and Visa Type. Should this be a "Skilled worker" as I can't find Tier 2 General category anymore?

Q3 - What should the Main applicant's visa expiry date on IHS form be if they are British citizen now? I can't enter a past date?

Post split from the topic you tagged o to.

Q1. Yes, no it doesn't reset.

Q2. Should be fine if that is all you have as options.

Q3. Put a date 3 years from the date of application online to get the correct IHS

Hi CR001,

This is what my wife will forward with her application. This is the cover letter and a detail of supporting evidence she will send. Can you kindly check if we may have missed anything or something that might be redundant?

Many Thanks

14. Payslips of husband during October, November and December 2020.

NOT REQUIRED. There is NO financial salary requirement for a PBS dependent visa.

UKVI is intimidating
