Supriyasahay wrote:Hey Manci,
I have the same kind of situation. I am on ICT Tier 2 visa for one year, but after a month my employer have no defined assignment for me and so they want me to return back. My husband is on Tier 2 General Visa and I want to apply for dependent visa on this basis. My question is:
1. Can my visa type be changed from ICT tier 2 to Dependent without returning to India ?
yes
2. If yes, would I still be able to work for my employer?
once you have your PBS dependant visa you can work for any employer (unless you are a doctor or dentist in training)
Kindly help me as its very urgent.
Regards,
Supriya
hi mabbath, how did it go for you? did you and your wife manage to get you visas sorted? please let me know as i urgently need some guidence around this , thanksmabbath wrote:Thanks again Manci!
I have a follow up question regarding my wife's application.
She was my dependent when I was working in UK. When it was time for me to move out of UK, she had to move out with me. She explained this situation to the UKBA using the Change of Circumstances form. In the form, she also explained that she will be switching to Tier 2 General from PBS dependent.
Since my Tier 2 ICT visa is still valid, I assume that her PBS dependent visa is also still valid.
Her employer has applied for her COS (for Tier 2 general visa) and it has been a long time now (> 1.5 months) and she still has not received the COS.
Also note that my employer has still not yet communicated to UKBA that I have moved out of UK. Can this cause a delay (or any problem) in my wife obtaining her COS (for Tier 2 General) in anyway?
Thanks & Regards

Even if you have unpaid leave this has to be reported within 10 days. However, this should have no effect on your and your wife's application. Note that If and when they report the termination your visa will be curtailed and then it can no longer be used for travel to the UK.
Your wife's prospective sponsor has to carry out a RLMT (unless there is an exemption) which takes at least 4 weeks. Once the RLMT is successfully completed they have to apply for a restricted CoS. Applications submitted by the 5th of a month are decided on the 11th of the same month so if they miss the 5th deadline that could mean an up to 7 weeks further delay.

you only need to inform them after you obtained your PBS dependant visa
- will this be a problem on my application? will HO ask me why am i changing and if I have resigned or not etc.?
they will not ask
- will HO cancel my present t2ict?
yes
- will HO notify my present employer about the change of my visa status, that my present ict is cancelled? thanks,

Hi manci, i am trying to change from my t2ict long term staff to t2g pbs dependent from within UK. my present ICT is valid till OCt 2016. my partner has got the t2g just before 2 weeks and we are in UK.
my questions,
1. can i make my pbs dependent application within UK now or need to wait for the 1st or more salaryslips of my partner?
you can apply now
2. how is the intimation sent to my present sponsor-employer? will they be notified on the same day of my visa approval? is it notified to them in their sponsor ship login system SMS?
if you remain employed by the same company as soon as you get your PBS dependant visa you should inform them that your immigration status changed
3. when the HO notifies my present employer, what details they will provide? will they say the exact reason and my new visa etc.?
kindly help, thanks a lot,

I need some clarification
I am on Tier2 ICT long term from 2013 and wife on ICT dependent. She is already working in UK and her enmployer is ready to provide her Tier 2 general visa where as her existing visa is still valid fro another 1 year. I have query
1) If she can me moved from Tier2 PBS dependent to Tier 2 General within UK (without visitng india and applying from India)
no, she would have to apply from home country with a restricted CoS
2) once her Visa is moved to Tier2 General, I can apply for Tier2 general dependent within UK
yes
I dont see this clarity on UKBA website and alot of confusing replies on other forums
Thanks

My wife is on Tier 2 General Visa now and i am currently on Tier 2 Long term ICT Visa. I would like to move to Tier 2 Dependant visa to give myself an opportunity to apply for ILR after 5 yrs. I have following question :-
a) Do i need to take an agreement from my current employer before i move to Dependant visa (i.e. technically can i do it w/o their consent)?
no, but you must inform them of your new status once you have the dependant visa
b) How much time it takes to switch the visa
c) Does the employer of my wife has any role to play in the process?
not unless your wife asks them to certify maintenance for you
Your help is much appreciated
