incountry switching from dependent statusto TWES Work Permit

[jbb]

Hi,


Here is the instruction posted by Home office on website:-

***************************************************
Nationals from non-EEA countries may apply to switch into work permit employment without leaving the UK provided they satisfy the work permits criteria and have existing leave
as:
A student and have successfully graduated at a UK higher or further education institute;
or
A postgraduate doctor or dentist or trainee general practitioner;
or
A student nurse;
or
A working holidaymaker who has been in the UK at least twelve months; or
A participant on the Science and Engineering Graduate Scheme;
or
A Highly Skilled Migrant;
or
An Innovator.

The presumption will be that applications made from non-EEA nationals currently in the UK in any other capacity will be refused. Therefore, non-EEA nationals in the UK on a Sectors- Based Scheme permit will no longer be allowed to switch into work permit employment.

Switching from categories other than those stated in this leaflet will not be allowed except in exceptional circumstances.
*************************************************************

Could somone please suggest whether incountry switching from Dependent visa holder to TWES Work permit status is allowed or not?

Thanks.

As far as i know Dependants are allowed to work without permit. so no need to switch.
