How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?
Application is made online at visa.gov.tj and completed at a Tajik embassy/consulate (or the MFA Main Consular Department for extensions). The M visa is valid for no more than three months and is extended on the basis of the work permit issued by the Migration Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The official sources do not state any path to independent or longer-term status.

Limits of the record- Sources do not state whether the family member's extension follows the principal's work permit, nor any path to independent or longer-term status.
