Hi
Thank you in advance for the knowledge that you are offering on this website.I would appreciate your reply for my question below.
I have aquired UK citizenship through Tier-1 route ( 2008 - 2013)
My wife joined me on May 2013 as Tier-1 depenedent. She got her first in-country extenstion for 3 years on Oct 2013. My ILR & Citizenship all done in this period.
Now I have to apply for my wife's visa extenstion for next 2 years as her current visa expires 4th Oct 2016. When she came back from india trip recently, the immigration officer at the MAN airport suggested her that she should not be in Tier-1 dependent visa and should apply for dependent of citizen etc.
I am aware that I have to get my wife visa as Tier-1 dependent for 5 years in order for her to eligible for ILR. But after imm officer suggestion at airprot, I got confused whether to extend her visa as Tier-1 dependent.
should I counitue applying her visa extenstion as Tier-1 dependent or should I apply a different which will break 5 year period.
waiting for your reply
thanks in advance
