My dependent joined me last month and got pbs dependent visa till 7/2020 as me.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

If you apply under 10 years long residence, your wife won't be able to continue on her PBS Dependent visa. She will have to switch to FLR(M) which will mean a further visa fee + the NHS surcharge fee. Her immigration clock will re-set to zero, putting her on a new 5 year path to settlement (2.5 x 2.5 years).

This won't be the case if you apply under the 5 year route.

What would be the case in terms of the fees for the dependents? I am in exactly the same situation as poster. Thanks
