@@NanelleGriseldaHi @Na Nanelle, please help..... My first 3years contract expired this month and i have only spent 2 years and 10months. My employer only gave me 2more years extension meaning I will be 2 months less than 5yrs by the time the visa expires. Will I be able to apply for ILR by then or will I have to spend 2 more months?
@@princessadekemiadebolaadey3870 A few more info required. As the main applicant, normally regardless of the COS duration, the work visa would typically be issued for a duration of at least 2-3months additional to your years (i.e. 2 years with be around 2 years, 2 months, etc.). So that should not be a problem. Otherwise, if you were indeed given initial entry permission for 3 years, but have only been physically in the UK for 2 years 10 months, then depending on the circumstance of your initial entry, your continuous residence requirements may not have been impacted (i.e. you should be fine).
Why not as the main applicant has gotten ILR, So the dependent as well. Why extending your visa. Anything what main applicant entitles should apply for the dependent visa applicant too. Sooner or later you will get it in due time.
Great content. How long is this new extension due to expire? Will it be sufficient to cover him to reach the 5 year requirement for ILR? I'm assuming the the UAN of the of your last application will expire at the expiration of the COS reference used for that application. This may also define the new visa extension which might not be sufficient to make him eligible for ILR. Could you please confirm the new visa limit, that it will be sufficient to make him eligible for ILR?
Currently there is no limit to the number of times an existing dependant (skilled worker) visa extension can be made. It is practically limitless regardless of COS references originally used (as they are considered valid at the time the first dependant visa was issued).
Thank you for sharing the information in quite an extensive depth. I have a question: If someone came to the UK on a Student visa, then switched to a Graduate visa, and their partner joined them six months after the start of the student visa on a Skilled Worker visa, getting married two years into the Skilled Worker sponsorship, would the dependent qualify for ILR after the five-year period?
Thanks for this video. Can I ask you somewhat unrelated question? If a main applicant switches from one skilled worker visa to another because of change in employer, does the dependent need to reapply for another dependent visa?
@@NanelleGriselda Thanks so much. You're a gem! That was a swift response. And does this apply even if the main applicant switches to an entirely new job which is not in the same job code as their previous one?
Hi Nanelle, does the dependant need to pass the English language test when applying for dependant visa extension after 2.5 years? Does the dependent need to pay the health surcharge if the main applicant is a nurse? Thanks for your help and support😊
Thanks for this Nanelle. I wish you had done this before my kids and husband extended their visas months back. I have my ILR by the way. I had to do it through a lawyer. One of my kids’s ILR is due next year and others 2026. Can she apply for it next year or wait till 2026 for my husband and other kids
Depending on your circumstances, your kids may not need to apply for ILR, but instead apply directly for citizenship assuming they apply at the same time as yourself (regardless of whether born in UK or abroad). If you can arrange to make your citizenship application at the same time as when your spouse has his ILR, then you could add your kids to your citizenship application (this saves the cost of ILR for each child).
@@olumayowaolanipekun2916 If any of your children was born in the UK whilst you've been on a work /work dependant visa, once you both qualify for and at least one of you have applied for an ILR, you can apply for citizenship for them directly. If any of your child was born abroad, the ability to apply directly for citizenship (after you've both had ILR) will depend on their own current dependant visa validity. i.e. if their dependant visa is valid until either of you qualifies for citizenship application, you can add them to that application directly. Otherwise, you'd have to either get them the ILR at the same time as yourselves (quite an expensive venture right now!) or simply extend their dependant visa for a year (which is cheaper) before applying for citizenship for everyone together.
Thank you so much! What if the difference between the main applicant and dependant is 2 months? Does d dependant also extend like u said and for how long is d extension since its just 2months to complete 5yrs
Hi Nanelle. Thanks for always giving us very useful information as regards migration and stay in the UK. You are highly appreciated. Nanelle, I'd like to ask how a single person can include a spouse as a dependant. For instance, one applied and got a visa as a single person (no dependant) but before the expiry of that visa, he/she got married and needs to add spouse as a dependant. How do they go about it? Waiting in anticipation for your response. Thank you.
Thanks @NanelleGriselda Your videos are really helpful. I got my ILR and my wife is in the same situation. She will be eligible for ILR in 2026 and her extension for dependant visa is on March 2025. I have a couple of questions. 1. How soon can we apply for the extension? Can I apply on December 2024? 2. How about the IHS charges, did you have to pay for 3 years even when the dependant is eligible for ILR in 1 year?
Hi Nanelle, I’m currently on three years with NHS, will my employer give a new COS or we’ll just apply for extension. My HR had told me that they’d be given another COS that covers the remaining two years. I’m really confused about what to do. Please enlighten me
Hi Nanelle, I just applied for my husband’s extension. I was on a Tier 2 skilled worker but recently got granted ILR. However when I applied for my husband’s extension I used my UAN/Ref I got from the home when my ILR was granted. Should I cancel the application and start new?
Hello ma'am! As you are working as a nurse in USA, could you please tell me whether an ausbildung (German Diploma) in nursing is enough or not to work in USA? If not, how to fulfill that requirement?
The success email usually contains the end date on the visa, which is usually the end date of the main applicant. In this case what is the end date on the success email or sharecode
Hi Nanelle. If someone on a tier 2 health and care Visa switched to become a dependent and the dependent became the tier 2 holder, does it mean that both parties will start counting their 5 years newly?
spot on, I will be applying for ILR in January 2025, and my wife visa will be expiring on February 2025, so when is the best time to extend my wife dependent visa; skilled worker route. Thanks
I like your videos, well done 👍 Please I wanted to ask if it’s possible to give birth in Ghana with a British citizen and be able to apply for citizenship for my child even though we are in Ghana or I would have to give birth in the UK before my child will be given such status? If yes can you please make a video for me on the process, thank you
Hi sis i just recieves my Ilr and wants to comolete my husband cisa extension with the link you provided. I notice they are requestinf information about the skilled worker visa, Cos and other info. whats your thoughts?

Hii Nanelle, sorry I'm digressing small, I need advice and it urgent,, I came to the UK last year December under a Tier 2 visa, and I just had a baby in September, because it just me here no help, and I'm not due for maternity leave with pay, I decided to rather send baby back home for my mum, so that 3years time she can come back, by then I could have settled in well, I have applied for her passport, but my dilemma is should I apply for a dependent visa for her, even though she is Leaving the UK,I plan on rather visiting her myself yearly.
I know she can travel to Ghana just with the passport without a visa if she is not returning with me.. Just want to know our chances, don't want do anything that might affect her later coming, should I apply or wait the 3yrs when she is coming then I apply for her please.
@@NanelleGriselda okay, even when she isn't going to be here till 3years, won't the visa be suspended and cause us any trouble in 3years time, is it going to be possible to renew hers in 2years coming when I'm renewing mine, and she is not here.
@@DedeDede-db9vd Not judging here, but never an ideal scenario to separate mother and baby. It is possible to make it work but admittedly may not be the easiest. If you intend to bring her back in 3 years, the baby will need to have a dependant visa herself now. That is the only way she will be admitted back to the UK by then. Otherwise you may have an uphill task applying for and proving she is your dependant from OUTSIDE the UK.
@@GrandPlato I get you on the part of not separating her from mum, but I have no option, the story is huge,,and sending her is like the only option, even though is a hard thing am going to do.
Hie @NanelleGriselda , I have been watching your informative videos for some time now, really watered down for many who might find the .government information too much. it's the times of "blah blah blah .." that makes me cringe .. you can make use of other words
Nanelle pls I need clarification if u cannot get the answer now, can u ask your Ghanaian group. I am currently on health and care worker visa, I have spent 2 years already already with my husband and daughter. I have twins now. My question is when I apply for their own visa, am I going to pay for 5 years visa fee as mine is 5 years or pay 3 years visa fee since I have spent 2 years b4 their birth.
Pay for only the remaining years towards your ILR (in this case 3 years). You may then be able to apply for your twins' citizenship directly after you have received your ILR, (assuming your hubby will have gotten his ILR by then as well).
To get ILr ! Ofcourse watch this video th-cam.com/video/BHHwVGTWEpU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dcmUeR_WOmXubh99 th-cam.com/video/IzJPkYyTuBU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lEtWkmCeCq7ogcMi

@@NanelleGriselda we just extended our visas in September and we had to go through the Evisa process which was successful but no new BRP cards were issued to us. The ones we had expired in Sept.
Hi Nanelle, pls after your 3yr visa expires and you extend another 3yr, if you are not ready for ilr due to failing ur life in uk exams of ielts, can u keep extending the visa?
Really complicated. It asked if my partner or spouse has applied to work or study in the UK and I said yes boom it asked for Cos details not sure what am not doing right
@@GrandPlato even if its already expired? There is a part they asked for expiry date of my visa as I already have ILR and this is my husbands application do I then use the 31/12/2024 as epiry or date as per last Cos? I will try this and see what it will ask further.
@@oloyedemoyosorelukmon7652 Thank you for replying but you have not answered the question. Let me make the question clearer if you can help further. The student concerned changed to skilled worker route after a year. Someone said the wife who came in together with the student could be eligible for ILR after 5 years of Living in the UK while the main applicant will be eligible after 6years of living in the UK because the 1yr student visa will not be reckon with. Is it true that the wife can apply for ILR?
@tosinariyo4837 To the best of my knowledge, when you switch a visa in such circumstances, it's like starting afresh on the visa route. May Nana can provide more info on this though.
@@tosinariyo4837 In this hypothetical case, the wife cannot apply for nor be granted ILR if the lead/main applicant (assuming the husband in this case) has not applied for or been granted ILR first, regardless of how long the dependant has stayed in the UK. The exception will be if the wife chooses to go onto the 10-year route.
Pls @NanelleGriselda I have a direct 5yr visa, and would not need to extend my visa. My question is this, since I came before my dependant and when I will be due to apply for ILR; my dependants visas would only be 4yrs 4months old .. what link will they use to extend and knowing that I would then be a settled person and without a valid Cos? Thank you
Looks like a loophole, not sure if this is the correct advice. Ideally your husband should have applied for a dependent of a settled person. It has worked for you but good chances it would be rejected for others.
Nah, not a loophole and nothing wrong with the advice. It is the easiest and valid option to follow. Any existing dependant can extend their skilled worker (Dependant) visa as often as they want on the basis of their main applicant's last valid permission before ILR (in this case, Skilled Worker visa). The alternative you are suggesting may be most applicable to people who are NEWLY-dependant on someone who already has ILR (e.g. through marriage, bringing over their kids/parent from abroad, etc.)
@@polite153 Still don't get it eh?😆I could go into the technical details regarding continuous residence/qualifying period requirements, etc. but suffice to say that's the current UK immigration rules, and very much legit. The COS may have expired, but the route is still valid. If you are so keen, you can look up the relevant published UK Home office guidance to case workers dealing with these applications.

If you switch CoS, does it count?
You guys always on uk visa,
Nanelle, you are such a beautiful darling 💖. Information on a platter of gold. VALID IMPORTANT INFORMATION 👌. Take your flowers 🎉. I should come and eat Ghana jollof on your invite 😅
Nanelle do a video on how to write the B1 test as dependant visa for ILR
Does EU family member with BRC need to get e-visa
How does he have an evisa and yet a new BRB is issued?
E visa will only be used from 1st January 2025
@@NanelleGriselda we just extended our visas in September and we had to go through the Evisa process which was successful but no new BRP cards were issued to us. The ones we had expired in Sept.
Can i do e-visa as dependent now because our ILR will be in 2 yrs time
Of course you can. The evisa doesn't affect the count towards ILR
Hi Nanelle, pls after your 3yr visa expires and you extend another 3yr, if you are not ready for ilr due to failing ur life in uk exams of ielts, can u keep extending the visa?
ofcourse !
@@NanelleGriselda
How would you keep extending the visa??
Do you have to ask your employer for new COS?
What if you are denied ILR then what next?
First here
Really complicated. It asked if my partner or spouse has applied to work or study in the UK and I said yes boom it asked for Cos details not sure what am not doing right
Use the last-issued COS details for any subsequent dependant application extension.
@@GrandPlato even if its already expired? There is a part they asked for expiry date of my visa as I already have ILR and this is my husbands application do I then use the 31/12/2024 as epiry or date as per last Cos? I will try this and see what it will ask further.
exactly
are you using the right link ?
@@NanelleGriselda I used the one you have shared here in your caption.
Can a dependent Visa of a student apply for ILR after her 5years? Obviously I know a student visa turns work visa cannot count the student year.
Student route is a 10-year path. Skilled Worker route is 5 years.
@@oloyedemoyosorelukmon7652 Thank you for replying but you have not answered the question. Let me make the question clearer if you can help further. The student concerned changed to skilled worker route after a year. Someone said the wife who came in together with the student could be eligible for ILR after 5 years of Living in the UK while the main applicant will be eligible after 6years of living in the UK because the 1yr student visa will not be reckon with. Is it true that the wife can apply for ILR?
@tosinariyo4837 To the best of my knowledge, when you switch a visa in such circumstances, it's like starting afresh on the visa route. May Nana can provide more info on this though.
@@oloyedemoyosorelukmon7652 Thank you so much for the reply
@@tosinariyo4837 In this hypothetical case, the wife cannot apply for nor be granted ILR if the lead/main applicant (assuming the husband in this case) has not applied for or been granted ILR first, regardless of how long the dependant has stayed in the UK. The exception will be if the wife chooses to go onto the 10-year route.
Please i cannot find the link

Pls @NanelleGriselda I have a direct 5yr visa, and would not need to extend my visa. My question is this, since I came before my dependant and when I will be due to apply for ILR; my dependants visas would only be 4yrs 4months old .. what link will they use to extend and knowing that I would then be a settled person and without a valid Cos? Thank you
Looks like a loophole, not sure if this is the correct advice. Ideally your husband should have applied for a dependent of a settled person. It has worked for you but good chances it would be rejected for others.
Nah, not a loophole and nothing wrong with the advice. It is the easiest and valid option to follow. Any existing dependant can extend their skilled worker (Dependant) visa as often as they want on the basis of their main applicant's last valid permission before ILR (in this case, Skilled Worker visa). The alternative you are suggesting may be most applicable to people who are NEWLY-dependant on someone who already has ILR (e.g. through marriage, bringing over their kids/parent from abroad, etc.)
@@GrandPlato that defies logic. The cos you used in this case is expired, so definitely a loophole.
@@polite153 Still don't get it eh?😆I could go into the technical details regarding continuous residence/qualifying period requirements, etc. but suffice to say that's the current UK immigration rules, and very much legit. The COS may have expired, but the route is still valid. If you are so keen, you can look up the relevant published UK Home office guidance to case workers dealing with these applications.
