My situation is this: My wife holds a Tier 2 General Migrant visa between 5 Sept 2012 - 1 Oct 2015 and I hold a corresponding Tier 2 Dependent visa between 26 Sep 2013 -1 Oct 2015. Meanwhile, I have secured a new job in the UK, and a restricted CoS. As a Tier 2 Dependent I could not switch in-country into a Tier 2 General Migrant. Accordingly, i have returned to my home country (India) to apply for a fresh Tier 2 Migrant visa. My wife have also travelled with me to my home country and is applying as my Tier 2 Dependent.
The question which we are finding difficult to answer is this : My wife's Tier 2 Dependent form asks of her "Is the main applicant (meaning me) living in the UK? " It needs to be answered in "yes" or "no" with very limited space for any explanation. At one level, she could answer 'yes' as I have been living in the UK as a Dependent for the past year and a half. On the other hand, as a 'main applicant', following UKVI rules, I have now returned to India (my home country) to apply for a fresh entry clearence. In that sense, I am not living in the UK at the moment and my wife should answer 'No'.
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
