Help needed - Switching from tier1 entrepreneur to Tier 2 de

Post by Aditi18 » Sun Feb 28, 2016 5:59 pm

Hi

I am looking to switch from tier 1 enterprenuer visa to Tier 2 dependant visa.

I came on student visa in 2009 then was on PSW visa from October 2011 till October 2013 and now on Tier 1 enterprenuer visa since Nov 2013 till Nov 2016. I have my husband as my dependant looking to switch on to Tier 2 General and I am looking to become his dependant.
My query Is whether my clock is going to reset as I am looking to apply for ILR via 10 years legal stay route in 2019?

Thanks in anticipation

All legal visa status in the UK counts towards 10 years long residence applications, provided you meet all the standard requirements.

Thank you.

Is it possible to switch within a Uk or do I need to go back home and switch.

You can apply for Tier 2 General Dependent visa within the UK once your partner returns and has their visa. No need to apply from home country as dependent.
