My wife came to UK on Feb 2009 on Student dependent Visas. I have completed my Master Degree from the University of Manchestr and applied for PSW visas (I am Main applicant and my wife is PSW Dependent).Me and my wife granted PSW visas until June 2012.
After 1 Year we both applied for Tier 1 General Visas ( Again I am Main applicant and my wife is Tier 1 general dependent). On this occasion I have granted my Tier 1 Visas but my wife’s application is being rejected and UKBA refunded application fees as she forgot to sign the declaration form.
She applied for her Tier 1 Dependent visa after 7 months (on Jan 2012) and Tier 1 Dependent Visas were granted.
Dose this seven month count as overstay? Is she stayed as illegal? Or her PSW dependent visa covers that stay on not count as illegal.
Please reply.
Thanks
Sweech02,
It should not be counted as overstay, as the visa was still valid.
I see your ref, as this was a dependant visa, and when the main applicant switched, the dependant should have switched too, but that did not happen, but still by the look of it, the visa she was on never expired or UKBA sent her any letter, so her visa was valid and she never overstayed.
This can be proved with the application you submitted in Jan 2012, if there was a concern UKBA might have had, they could have objected at that time, so i won't say its an overstay.
However please note, i am not a solicitor and this must be constituted as a legal advice.
