Dear zimba thank you very much. My only confusion is with the "work end date". So I need to enter the work end date as it is but a visa end date 3 years into the future?
Thank you very much.

Hello zimba. I made my ILR and dependants extensions. For some reason the system asked 5 year fee not 3. So I paid that. Also no IHS was calculated for my kids. The IHS was calculated correctly for my wife. Shall I write to UKVI or may I ask where to write to?
Best regards,

Two separate applications. As I said, failure to pay the correct fees leads to delay

hello zimba they asked for 3 years of IHS payments for my dependants last week. made the payment still no news? is it because we applied the ILR and extension at the same time? thank you.

No. My view is the same as above. Expected administrative delays, wait to hear back
