ILR + T2 dependent extension queries

[liu]

Good afternoon all,

I really appreciate if anyone can help me with the questions!

I entered UK on a 5-year Tier 2 General visa in September 2016,
My husband and kids entered UK half year later - February 2017 on Tier 2 dependent visa.

This year September 2021 all of our visas expire, i will qualify for ILR as i’ll complete 5 years. But my husband and kids will not.

For myself - i will apply for ILR in September 2021

For my husband - as he will not complete 5 years when i apply for ILR, (Question 1:) he should not qualify for ILR i believe? (Question 2:)What’s the best option for him to extend the visa?

For my kids - they will not complete 5 years when i apply for ILR, both were born outside of UK and under 16. (Question 3:)will they qualify for ILR when i apply for ILR? (Question 4:)what’s the best option for them to extend the visa.

(Question 5:)do my husband and kids have to wait until i got the ILR, then they can apply for extension of dependent visa? or we can apply ILR and t2 dependent Extension concurrently?

(Question 6:)as my husband and kids will complete 5 years in February 2022, can they just apply for 6 months extension or one year extension, or it has to be 3 years?

(Question 7:)if they have to apply for 3 years extension, they should be able to apply for ILR in February 2022, no need to wait the whole 3 years right?

i've read some posts in this website, some cases are similar to mine but none of them are the same.

Thanks in advance!!

Q1. Correct he doesn't qualify for ilr when you do.

Q2. PBS dependent extension.

Q3. No they will not. They will only qualify for ilr when your husband does.

Q4. PBS dependent extension.

Q5. Concurrently. Their application will only be considered once your ilr is granted. If your ilr fails, their applications will also fail.

Q6. It is a 3 year extension. You cannot choose to apply for less time.

Q7. They can apply for ilr when they qualify.
