What Visa extension my wife will need?

[jai23155]

Hi, Me n wife both extended our visas in Sept 2014 as Tier 2 General and dependent visa respectively. Last year, I applied for ILR as I was eligible (under 5yrs route) but I didn't extend my visa as she still had one more year left on the visa. Now, I need to extend my wife's visa. What visa application I need to do? I am on ILR. I can only see Tier 1 and 5 Tier 5 PBS dependent when I search for 'PBS dependent'. A link to the application would be really helpful. Thanks

Did you apply for ILR under the 5 year route or under 10 year long residence?

5yrs route. I was on Tier 2 General for 5years. Got the ILR in Sept. 2016. Thanks

In which case, your wife can extend her PBS Dependent visa. Link to online application below:

Thanks, Casa. I got the answer from your other response here uk-tier-2-employer-sponsored-visas/depe ... 16556.html

On other note, Zimba, applying as Tier 1 General Dependent costs a bomb and am not sure if that info is right. Are you sure?

The fees for Tier 1 and Tier 2 dependants are different

I am just filling the application for my wife and it says 'you must have had at least £630 for the consecutive 90days.' but I had this balance in my bank account like the last time. My wife has visa until 26-09-17. What should I do?

[zimba]

You need to provide maintenance evidence as before, in your account and for 90 consecutive days

[jai23155]

Ok. Just to be clear, it doesn't have to be my wife's account Although she is the applicant??

Currently, the funds are in my account .

[zimba]

It can be her account (or your account)

It can be your account.
