Wifes Dependent VISA - my HSMP Visa expires in 2 months

[DilishK]

Hi Experts,

Qt 1) My HSMP visa would expire in 2 months - in Jan 03, 2010. And my wife plans to apply for her dependent visa in first week of Nov 2009, so what are the chances that she would get her visa, when there is only 2 months left for the sponsors (mine) visa expiry.

(Cost is not a problem as it is company sponsored, and after that I would be applying for Work Permit)

Qt 2) Again, I had not been in UK during my period of HSMP and came in just in June 2009. So I guess there is no way I can extend my HSMP, as my earnings in India would not be eligible for the conversion factor (5.3). Does anybody else think otherwise on this ?

Pls do answer

By the time it's all been processed i wouldn't be surprised if your visa has expired. If you intend applying for a work permit then i'd wait for that to come through instead of applying for 2 dependent visas for your wife.
