1. Yes you can. If you want to be a PBS dependent, you must apply for this before she gets ILR and you can continue on PBS dependent till you qualify for ILR but only if she gets ILR based on tier 2. If you apply to be her dependent after she gets ILR, you have to apply for a spouse settlement visa...

hi

so if i understand correctly every year you can stay 179 days outside UK not more than that to get ILR right?
and for PBS dependent, is he also eligible for ILR, let's say if i get general dependent VISA now, am i eligible for ILR as well?

Nimo

Hi

My wife has tier 2 general Visa, is there a rule that if you stay more than 180 days outside UK during 5 years you cannot apply for ILR?

Nimo

No there is no 'grace period' in your circumstances. You must apply for either an extension or PBS dependent visa before your current visa expires. I am asking as i have some dependency I am not sure what you mean by this?? Hi actually in my case, my current employer who has given ICT Visa might ex...

If you submit an application before your current visa expires, you are covered under Section 3C and your existing visa conditions continue. You can also apply for a PBS Dependent visa in person at a premium service centre for a same day decision. hi, thanks for reply, is there a grace period that p...

Hi, thanks for clarification again, if my VISA status gets changed to General dependent Visa, can i work with same employer i am working right now in ICT VISA? thanks Nimo You can but it does depend entirely on your employer. You must inform them and provide evidence of your new visa once you have ...

Hi, thanks for clarification again, if my VISA status gets changed to General dependent Visa, can i work with same employer i am working right now in ICT VISA? thanks Nimo Topics merged. You were already advised in November/December 2016 that there is no cooling off period if switching to PBS depend...

thanks.

Thanks, just one final note I guess the total stay here is 5 years after that cooling off applied anyway, right? just wanted to understand if we can keep swapping VISA then is it possible to stay more than 5 years without cooling off? Let's say I came here on 2016 and again getting sponsorship in 20...

Thanks for reply, could you please confirm when cooling off applies? Wanted to know all the scenarios when it applies for ICT and general tier2 visa. Bit confused as you said cooling off not applied to my wife but will be applicable for me if i want to change, but if you see we both are in same depe...

Hi Thanks for reply, so as I understand I can apply VISA from here only, no need to travel back to my home country once my wife comes back with General Visa? And really need to know what's the cooling off rule here? is it applicable to my wife as she is getting ICT dependent to general Visa? Also I ...
