Self-employment is generally not allowed under the Skilled Worker visa. This is because self-employment implies running your own business or working on a freelance basis, which falls outside the scope of the conditions for employment under this visa category.

Try it at 8:58 to 8:59; based on my HR experience. She did it on the first try in Dec 2023.

I will say don't change it to domiciliary care, if he/she is having a job in IT.

The care Sector comes with its challenges, do part-time trial just be sure he/she wants to do that.

Yes, you can. I know it's stressful to be in the care sector.

Just to give insight;
The 5-year clock will restart for the ILR Application, which means it will start from day 0 when the visa is received for your husband as he is changing from dependent to main applicant.
