Thanks so much. That means a dependent can come in even if its 1week the MA's edu wants to end.

But i understand cheesy's and bigtt's point of view, cus if i be visa officer i fit deny dependent o, na so i wicked reach, cus i go ask u say why u no come since wey be say na wen ur wife school done nearly end u just dey come

Wouldn't advise anyone to take this risk cause dependent has to apply at least 6 months before MA's visa expires and visa vignette expires within 3 months after issue if I'm correct. Let's not forget also that adult dependent can't be out of the UK for more than 180days in a year so if you add all these info, it's unrealistic for dependent to come in a week before MA's visa expires.

I don't wanna believe the person that got dependent visa of 6 months that extended beyond MA's validity. My guess is that he mistook end of session for end of visa (BRP expiration) cause dependent visa solely depends on MA's visa validity and period.

If your wife is the PA and her BRP is set to expire in May, then your visa will be valid till May. Dependent visa tenure ends same date as the primary applicant.

Kindly help clarify.


Like I mentioned in my original post. My wife's BRP was valid till May while mine was till September, issue date was February.

I only made the input to help with the confusion the supposed "6 months" on MA's visa was causing.

Saw someone say I probably mistook course end date for visa expiry date... lol. You're not obliged to believe what I've written just as I'm not obliged to share pictorial evidence. I won't make further comments on this topic.

No one is doubting you though. I've personally seen some students whose BRP validity extends by a month or two beyond what was issued to their course mates of the same session. Mistakes such as this may innocently happen but doesn't mean it is the norm.

Those students affected as mentioned above, though got extra months compared to their mates, are now in a fix cos after submitting their dissertation, are unable to work full time cos their BRP still sees them as students in school term.

Not sure the embolden is what happened - a BRP can't expire before end-of-course date rather it is possible the VO made an innocent mistake extending the validity. Becos I have seen some students with extended validity dates on their BRP beyond what their course mates who applied same time got. Now those students are unable to work full time after submitting their dissertation while those who got correct dates have been able to. But I also think it is correct bearing in mind that Feb - May is 4 months left on MA's validity + the extra 4 months usually given, makes the dependent's validty extend to September giving him a total of 8 months.

booking.com and ryanair.om... These are good sites for flight and hotel bookings. Also try Skyscanner.com and when booking for hotel, book airB&B instead, thank me later.

I think study end date is different from when your visa expires. There is usually an additional 4 months after. So I guess the wife's study end date was May but visa was valid till September.

I think the basis of dependent coming is on the validity of MA's brp, not MA's course end.

Like what i mean is that if MA course ends in May, and MA brp ends in Sept. Its safe to say ukvi considers 6months to Sept as the deadline for when Dependent can apply and not 6months to May. Me too i no sure sha but this is the only ideal thing i can think of

Nice, thanks for your reply

Means for someone whose school is due to end in Jan 2024, best bet would be June/ July 2022 if Im right smiley


eniola1010 his previous post has answered it so you can stand from the hot seat grin


They don't have to come in 6 months before, They just need to come in country before you apply for your PSW (i.e before expiry of your brp) else they cant get on it(PSW). If they are coming pretty close to your student expiry, they wouldn't pay for IHS, but that might mean they would pay out of pocket of they have to access medical services. Also you can always contact your school immigration department with enquiries, most students don't really use their services but its included in the tuition paid.

Thanks boss

I appreciate the response. Glad it doesn't have to be 6 months to the end but I guess it'd depend on the time frame when the visa is out (I think there's a place they put time frame one must enter before on the visa. Was on mine)

I'll reach out to my school too smiley
