tier 2 change of employment and dependant visa

[Shaks]

Hi

I am going to change employment under tier 2 general. As i understand i dont need proof of maintenance, but this time i am going to apply for my childs dependant visa at the same time (child was born in uk). Do i still dont need proof of maitenance funds? My wife is already on dependant visa

Cheers

Letter from UKVI...

Dear Madam,


Thank you for your email correspondence of 29 May.

If a Tier 2 migrant changes their leave in anyway, their dependants should also amend their leave to be brought in line. This is because a dependants leave is always granted on the basis of the relevant Migrants situation. Once a new application is made, expiry dates are almost always different to their previous grant of leave.

If the dependant does not apply and continues on their current PBS dependant leave and UKVI become aware that the main Tier 2 migrant is no longer working for the ‘old’ employer, any leave issued to the dependant(s) would possibly be curtailed. This could lead to being in the UK without valid leave and also could lead to the dependant being refused entry to the UK if they were to travel.

I hope this information is helpful.


Yours faithfully,


Liz Smith
