I have not started the form yet, but not that I can see this mentioned anywhere on the relevant page for this application.
SW-dependent and family routes are SEPARATE and are applied using SEPARATE forms. Also under the skilled worker rules when a dependant is applying via SET(O), the visa route of such a dependant is not relevant. The partner could have been your partner dependant for 5 years under any partner or dependant route (including the family route). So there is no resetting of the ILR clock, even if the dependant moves to the family route.My main concern is what UAN to use so as to not switch my dependent from a SWV dependent visa to a ILR dependent/spouse visa which will reset the clock for them.
What is the point of getting a new CoS ?? Neither your ILR nor the extension of your dependant needs this. As usual, you are operating based on your assumptionsBoth of our visas expire a few days after the visa application under the CoS it was applied under 3 years ago. I have a new CoS issued from my employer just in case which I am not using to extend the SWV as I am applying for my own ILR. My dependent is not ILR eligible for another year, and I intend to extend their dependent SWV for 3 years.
You cannot magically move to the family route if your applied for a skilled worker dependant extension.Should I use the UAN from my previous SWV that is expiring now to extend my dependent's visa? Or should I use the UAN that I get after my ILR application? I have been told it does not matter but also told that it will switch their visa to a spouse visa and reset the clock. I am bit confused as to what to do.
Thank you Zimba for clarifying, that puts my end at ease really. One would expect UKVI/HO to have the common sense to see the details and history etc., but it is a fair bit of investment to apply, so I thought I'd ask anyways.zimba wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2024 2:17 amSW-dependent and family routes are SEPARATE and are applied using SEPARATE forms.

The UAN does not really matter as the rules do not allow the dependant to be granted an extension unless your immigration status is determined. So UAN does not really matter here. UKVI has all your details and history and they will figure all this out. If you got your ILR UAN, just use that to apply for your dependant.
Not sure where you assumed that assumption! The CoS was issued automatically, and this is in case my ILR gets rejected for whatever reason and I have to re-apply for a SWV along with a new dependent extension. May seem unnecessary but I would much rather be a pessimist and have a plan B. I am aware that a CoS has no value for either of our current applications. Thanks though.zimba wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2024 2:17 amWhat is the point of getting a new CoS ?? Neither your ILR nor the extension of your dependant needs this.
