No. EC and leave to remain are entirely different. You can't extend leave in a situation where you are outside the UK; it would be an application for a new entry clearance in the same category.tcpip_helper wrote:for your wife its a visa extension and for your baby its entry clearance. both your wife and baby can apply together though.
The requirement is to maintain "continuous leave" from the time of initial entry clearance to be eligible for settlement. The rules do not state that a new entry clearance instead of extension will reset qualifying residential period to that under new rules introduced on 09-July.hsmp1412 wrote:is it not that if the OP's wife applies for EC from India she will fall under the new dependant rules applicable from 9 July this year
