Dependants need to extend their current SW dependant visas until they qualify for ILR. The extension ...

Re: Skilled Worker Dependant visa renewal — main applicant now has ILR — form questions

Your question is not similar at all than OPs, it's actually irrelevant to this thread. Suggest to open your own post.

Dependants extend their visas under the last route the lead applicant had before ILR, in this case they apply as GT dependants. It will be a three years extension.

That list of professions is not exhaustive, the Home Office mentions that in the guidance. They simply cannot put every single profession/occupation in the list. Many professions that are not included in the list are also accepted.

You can use any of those dates, that doesn't matter. UKVI will decide based on your qualifying period.

Re: Student visa document check

How are you applying for a Student visa now if you applied for ILR back in 2017?

You cannot post third-party websites on this forum.

In any case, no need to check the required documents anywhere but directly with the educational institution sponsoring the visa or on the UKVI website.

Re: Main Applicant under ILR route but dependent needs to wait for another 8 months for ILR

The visa start date is the day of the application (when you submit and pay). Then put a date three years in the future for the visa duration and appropriate IHS calculation.

Re: Global talent finance evidence for ILR

I applied for ILR under the GT route.

You can provide just one payslip from your job at the University and this will satisfy the earning requirement. Explain that was your salary when working in your expert field.

That's all you need. The other documents you listed are not required!

You can either keep it, destroy and dispose of it or send the BRP back to UKVI.

If you're concerned about being fined for retaining the BRP, just send it to the address in the link https://www.gov.uk/apply-citizenship-sp ... ertificate

Re: ILR employer letter without wording "required for the foreseeable future"

The letter only needs to state that the employment is continuing and there are no plans to terminate, it's not a must to include exactly the phrase "foreseeable future". This can be said in many other ways and UKVI knows that. Likely other migrant workers at your employer have used the same format ...

can I apply for a dependant visa extension for my daughter instead of ILR? It would be much cheaper for us because our original route is the Health and Care visa and there is no IHS.

Then you must declare this.

Penalty points on the licence is a disclosable motoring offence, however it doesn't have any impact on the naturalisation decision - provided there are no other serious offences.
