Only if you make separate applications.

It doesn't work like that.

Caseworkers follow the immigration rules, no discretion as the rules state 3 years for an extension when the main visa holder has obtained ILR.

Note it is not compulsory to apply for ILR at exactly 5 years.

1 - Is there any way to extend a Skilled Worker dependent visa for 1 year? No there is not. It is a 3 year extension as stated in the immigration rules. There is no discretion and you cannot choose to apply for less time. 2 - Should I go with a Skilled Worker dependent visa (3 years) or a family ...

It's number 7 - Other.

Children born abroad are applications under discretion.

You only need all the pages of the passport, nothing else. Don't submit unnecessary documents.

Option 3 is not possible for your daughter. She follows the same visa path as your wife. They either both change visa route or both extend their existing visa route.

The family visa route is not immune from policy and rules changes.

Your daughter qualifies for ilr when your wife does. If she is not UK born, there is no shortcut route for her

The quickest route to ILR for them is if they stay on their current visa route.

Within 45 working days.

Your route to ILR is completely irrelevant. Solicitors talking absolute rubbish.

The rule is simple, you can apply for citizenship immediately if you are married to a British citizen AND you meet all the requirements.

Nothing complicated at all!!

She needs a new test. Skilled worker dependent visa does NOT (and never has) have an English requirement so her test would have been disregarded completely. You can only use an expired test if it was used in a previous application that was successful and where English was mandatory requirement. This ...

Dear All, can a dependant child get ILR once she cross 18 years and has completed 5 years if one parent becomes British citizen but other parent have not received ILR. regards You asked the same question in 2025. The advice remains exactly the same!! https://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php ...

If a visa has already been approved, as you have said it has, then visa fee is not refunded

You simply apply for a new visa with a new CoS and the current approved one will be cancelled if a new visa is approved. You have to pay all the fees again with a new visa application.

You cannot withdraw a visa that is already approved.

Laminated documents are not accepted. This is clearly stated on their website.

Children do not have a 5 year residence requirement. They apply to settle when the parent does.

Also, how are you British and when did you become British?

Set M does NOT have any absence limits at all.

Please keep ALL questions about the same application in ONE topic!!

There is ONLY one form for children under 18, MN1.

How long has the main skilled visa holder been in the UK?

Application date is ALWAYS the date you submit online and NOT the biometric date, which is only a formality and identity check.

Is this question related to you existing topic???

1. Correct. She can only count dependent visa time for ILR based on 5 years residence.

2. 4th Nov is the start date, and then minus 28 days is the earliest she should apply.

Your children born abroad need ILR first and can apply for citizenship when your spouse does.

There is no shortcut route for them simply because you became British.

You add the children to your wife's form where you get the option. The form will adjust.

It is the same route for children, ie Set M.

1. You have until your visa expiry date. 2. You dont get additional time past your visa expiry date. The 60 days curtailment applies to those whose visas are valid for longer than 2 or 3 months. 3. What FLR do you belive you qualify for? How long have you been in the UK? You either need to find ...
