tier 1 dependent 6 months short for ilr

[wasana]

Hello there
my wife came to uk as tier 1 general dependent on jan 2015. I was on my second half of tier 1.
then i got ilr on apr 2016 and my wife had to extend pbs dependent as she needs to stay 5 years with me to apply for ilr. she got PBS dependent leave to remain untill may 2019. but still she need another 7 months to complete 5 years. (jan 2020)


1. can she apply for pbs dependent extension only for 7 months?

2. or is there another way to achive this short time period?


i will appriciate your quick response

Thanks

If she will qualify for ILR in Jan 2020 then instead 7 months she will still need around 11-12 months. I think she can apply tier 1 dependants extension which according to other members will be for 3 years and the IHS of around £1200 will be needed to pay along with application fee. Unfortunately you can't choose the length of visa lesser than standard 3 years.

In these cases, we will grant you a period of three years leave.

What exactly do you want to know about the quoted piece??

She can apply for a 3 year extension. She cannot apply for less visa validity.
