The visa processing for a Tier 2 extension application typically takes around 8 weeks. However, the priority services furnish a decision in 5 working days and the super priority services provide a decision in 1 working day.
The applicant must be mindful to include dependants while applying for extension. The dependants have to provide a submit application but can apply along with the main applicant. The process of a Tier 2 extension is relatively slow and patience is all it takes till the Home Office finally provides a decision.
