Dependent visa extension after dependee obtained citizenship

Post by kannaiah » Mon Feb 18, 2019 3:50 pm

Hi,

My wife arrived in the UK in the month of May, 2015 on Tier-2 General dependent visa since then I got British citizenship. Her current visa is getting expired in May 2019.

What are my options? Can the visa be extended in the same category or do I have to apply in a different category?
If we need to apply in a different category, does it change her ILR application process when she becomes eligible?

Thank you.

Wasn't this already answered when you asked the question in 2017??

No need to change visa categories.
