Child born in UK on patterns with Ict visa

[nik_is_it]

Hello

I tried searching but could not get answer.


I'm on tier 2 Ict visa until jan 2018 and my wife is on my dependent visa, we came to UK in 2012 and both work in the same company

We are having our baby next month and I had queries whether

1. How can we apply for babies' passport and visa
2. how long does the visa and passport process takes and costs
3. Will the baby also get tier 2 Ict visa dependent until January 2018
4. Can we apply for any other visa category like tier 4 for the baby and we both take dependent visa based on baby (to avoid the 1yr cooling off) or any other ways


Many thanks for your help

1. How can we apply for babies' passport and visa Apply for a passport at your embassy in the UK (assuming baby is in the UK), them complete PBS Dependent form for the visa (in person appointment or by post)
2. how long does the visa and passport process takes and costs Passport depends on your embassy. Visa varies depending on whether you apply in person or by post. Cost of visa is on the PBS Dependent form. Passport cost you need to contact your embassy or check their website.
3. Will the baby also get tier 2 Ict visa dependent until January 2018 Yes, it will be valid in line with parents.
4. Can we apply for any other visa category like tier 4 for the baby and we both take dependent visa based on baby (to avoid the 1yr cooling off) or any other ways No, you cannot, the baby cannot be a student if still a baby. Why are you asking about 1 year cooling off? Do you wish to switch to Tier 4 or Tier 2 G yourself or for your partner?

Yes, we both are on Tier 2 ICT currently post 2010 change and need to understand if there is any other route to get ICT and avoid cooling off period

You will have to find a visa that either yourself or your spouse qualifies for. You cannot apply for a visa for a baby and be their dependent, it doesn't work like that.

Your spouse must either apply for Tier 2 General and you as Tier 2 G dependent, or stay as you are on ICT.
