Enquiry about Skilled Worker Dependant visa for 1 Year

[bharatsingh]

Hi everyone,

I recently received my ILR after being on a Skilled Worker visa. However, my wife is still on a Skilled Worker Dependant visa and has now completed around 4.5 years on it.

She only needs about another 6 months to become eligible for ILR. We’re trying to understand how to extend her visa for this period.

Someone told me that it’s only possible to extend a Skilled Worker Dependant visa for 3 years only using the existing CoS, and that a 6-month extension isn’t allowed.

Is this correct? If not, could anyone who has been in a similar situation or has knowledge of the process please advise how we can extend her visa for just 6 months?

Thank you in advance for your help.

You have asked this previously and been given advice.

There is no shorter extension option for dependents..

It is a 3 year extension as stated in the immigration rules. You cannot choose to apply for less time.
