Fee Waiver for 'skilled worker dependent visa extension' when main applicant has ILR

[alialhoni]

Hi

I will get ILR soon (skilled worker route), I am wondering what would be the visa type for my wife and my kid after I get ILR. I need to extend their visas as it is going to expire soon as well.

I only have 6 months left in my contract. Can I extend my wife's and my kid's visas for 1 year (beyond my work contract) as I will be having ILR or their visa has to match my work contract?
Thanks

This is irrelevant.

A Skilled Worker Dependent visa extension is granted for 3 years, you can't choose less time.

or their visa has to match my work contract?

This is irrelevant.

Hi

I was told that, when the main applicant gets ILR, dependents can extend their visa for 3 years. I am wondering if the dependents can extend their visa for less period (say 1 year) to avoid paying a fortune for IHS. Thank you very much in advance.

No. It's 3 years only as pre immigration rules.

Hi

The main applicant (Dad) has been granted ILR based on the skilled worker route. Now, dependents (2 kids and Mom) have to extend their visas. However, they are restricted to a 3-year extension (skilled worker dependent). Therefore, a huge amount of money is required, which they don't have.
Can they apply for a fee waiver in this case? will the fee waiver cover both the visa application fee and the IHS fee?

thanks

There is no fee waiver option as far as I am aware for the Skilled Worker visa or dependent visa route.

Hi

I am the main applicant; I received ILR in Nov 2024 based on skilled worker route. I want to extend the visa application for my wife and my kids. They don't have ILR yet, so I should use 'Skilled worker dependent visa extension'. Can I apply for the fee waiver for them?

thanks in advance
