Dear all,
My wife is here on 2 years spouse visa as my dependent (I am UK citizen). Her visa is running out around end of this month and we have got appointment to apply in person in couple of days for her visa extension. She is short of 6 weeks to qualify for ILR (needs to have visa until second week of March to apply for ILR) and hence we're applying to top up the extension. I am just wondering if we could apply to get extension for another six months or so (rather than top-up to qualify for ILR) and apply for ILR later in the year once she has passed Life in UK test?
Please also note that I am aware of the changed rule where you can apply for ILR straight away by post rather than top-up visa extension but we have to travel abroad in March and can't afford to send our passports to HO for indefinte time!
I look forward to hear from someone who have experience or could advice on the outcomes of applying for longer than top-up duration visa extension
Many thanks
