Tier 2/Skilled Worker PBS Dependant visa extension

Post by kenk1231 » Fri Feb 11, 2022 11:37 am

Hi All,

I hope you are well.

Firstly, I appreciate all of the answers here and all of that found me useful for the Tier2 & ILR application before.

My wife is about to extend her Tier 2 PBS dependent visa end of this month (28days before the current visa expired). However, the recent year swapped from Tier2 to the skilled worker and some of the answers I am not sure about that and I hope you guys don't mind guiding me on this please.

Background:
I am on ILR now and she came after two years when I just was Tier2.
I have done the research and I know that she is carrying on to renew as Tier2(skilled worker now) PBS dependent visa for a minimum of 3 years regardless she just needs another 2 years toward ILR.

Questions:

Under the section "People applying with you"
1. Does (Myself) already have their Skilled worker
visa?
I was on Tier 2 so I believe that is yes?
2. What is (Myself)'s UAN?
Should I provide the one with my ILR or by the time I renewed my Tier 2 visa?

Under the section "Financial Maintenance"
1. Has (Myself)'s employer agreed to certify your
financial maintenance?
I still working with the same employer (They are A rated) but I am no longer on the work visa so should I believe the answer is no?

Thank you very much for the help.

Regards,
Ken

Under the section "Financial Maintenance"
1. Has (Myself)'s employer agreed to certify your
financial maintenance?
I still working with the same employer (They are A rated) but I am no longer on the work visa so should I believe the answer is no?If she has been in the UK for more than 12 months she does not need to show maintenance. So you can answer no

PBS dependent visa extension during main applicant applying citizenship

Post by kenk1231 » Thu Mar 03, 2022 5:58 pm

Hi everyone,

Just a quick question but that is quite important.

Can my wife apply her extension during I am applying citizenship?
Will that cause any delay of her application or my application ?

Background is she joined me after 3 years when I still with Tier2 visa

Thanks,
Ken

1. Yes

2. No and no.

They are two completely separate and different applications.

Hi Ken,

Just wondering what UAN did you provide? On a similar situation and don't know if I should use the one from Tier 2 or ILR.

Thank you so much.

Best regards.

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem. Should we use UAN of Skilled Worker visa or ILR? In the form, They didn’t even ask if the main applicant has obtained irl! So confusing

Desperately needed help :(

If you answer No to that UAN number, next question it will ask for BRP number where you can give your ILR BRP.
