Tier 2 Dep - Husband from ILR to BC

Post by Syedashah51214 » Sun Feb 12, 2017 9:36 pm

Hello everyone. Anyone please answer my questions.

I am on Tier 2 dependant visa which is going to expire in april 2017.Few months back my husband got his British passport ( He was on ILR, Tier 2 Visa). Will i be extending the same Tier 2 dependant visa which was my husband's previous status?
If yes, please provide me with the appliction form link and what documents does it require?

Many thanks in advance.

Yes, but you must use the online form for Tier 2 General Dependent/Partner and not the other PBS dep form available in paper form.

Hello everyone. I am filling my Tier 2 dependant visa. I am dependant on my husband who became british citizen few months back. He was on ILR before that and on TIER 2 visa before getting his ILR. Application Form requires my husband details including his visa expiry ,visa route and visa type. What visa expiry should i enter and route? I mean his ILR or TIER 2?

Your answers are highly highly appreciated.

Did your husband get his ILR based on five years of Tier 2 or on 10 years Long Residence?

You should 'apply alone'. Your husband has ILR and if you put that in, you will get an incorrect amount to pay for the immigration health surcharge.

Alone, i.e. without spouse visa details

I can't see the online form so have no idea what your options are.

I mean the questions and options the form gives you online. I am certainly not going to register online with HO to go through the application form form.

Visa Route options include
*Discretionary Leave

*Further leave to remain other
*Tier 1
*Tier 2

If i choose TIER 2 option in visa route, following options come:

Tier 2 (General) shortage occupation; over 3 years
Tier 2 (General) shortage occupation upto 3 years
Tier 2 (General) over 3 years
Tier 2 (General) upto 3 years

They have also asked about his visa expiry date. Which visa are they talking about? TIER 2 OR ILR?

Contacted UKVI and they have advised to pay using the below link and not via the application. Currently the IHS link is unavailable.
