In your Skilled Worker Dependant application last December you made a mistake answering the question whether your partner has or will have an h&c visa. You answered YES instead of NO and as a consequence paid the reduced visa fee and no IHS .'
The HO asked you to provide evidence of your partner's h&c worker status which you are clearly unable to provide
Under normal circumstances you could withdraw your application and get a refund of the fee paid and then re-apply. However, as your latest visa already expired withdrawing your application would make you an overstayer.
If you do nothing your application will be refused and the fee paid will be lost. As Frontier Mole pointed out there will be a short period after the refusal when you can re-apply if you provide acceptable reasons for the re-application. Alternatively you could leave the UK and re-apply from abroad.
Another possibility may be to reply to the HO's email advising of the mistake in the application. However, I am not sure what reply you would get, i.e. whether they would allow you to amend the already submitted application.
Wait for Frontier Mole to comment.
