Hello pattar,

Go and calculate here www.timeanddate.com
-i will apply for my wifes dependant extension after i get the visa may be on

You query is not clear when your wife entered this country. If it's before latest changes (2012), then you should be fine and show maintenance funds from your account.

- because my visa will change, it doesn't change to another category. It will remain tier 1 but extended for 2 years.(will this change affect my wifes visa who is applying seperately after 6 days by post.)
Yes, your visa is getting extended not changing category. This shouldn't affect anyway and your wife's visa should generally (if all conditions met successfully) be provided till expiry date of your visa.

thanks
