Hello Team,

Kindly give a reply to the queries

Hello Team,

For applying for Tier 2 General Dependent - Child ( applying along with Tier 2 General main applicant), is it mandatory that the other parent should be in the UK ?
For the Visa to be granted will they check that both the parents will be along with the child in the UK?

If yes what should be the minimum visa period that has to be there for one of the parent who is already in UK?

Please advice

The other parent must either be in the UK lawfully OR being applying for a dependent visa at the same time.

Yes.

If yes what should be the minimum visa period that has to be there for one of the parent who is already in UK?

The rules don't state a minimum. It simply states the other parent must be lawfully in the UK.

Thank you for the reply...
- must be lawfully in the UK- could you please elaborate what this means?
the other parent is already in UK on ICT valid till sept 2019 and planning to become dependent later once the tier 2 general main application is back.

The tier 2 general visa main applicant (one of the parent)is applying for dependent child visa along with main applicant, will this match the criteria for dependent child visa ? the timeline of sept 2019

Kindly advice..

Lawfully in the UK, ie holding a valid visa other than a visitor visa.

Hello Team

I am Tier 2 ICT long term (2 yrs) expiring this year Sept ,and my wife and Kid on ICT Dependent,
My wife got a sponsor here and she will be travelling back to India for switching to Tier 2 General.
My Visa is Tier 2 ICT and cannot switch before July this year

Query here is for Kid who is currently on ICT dependent ,which option should i choose to switch to Tier 2 General dependent, should the kid travel along with wife and switch together or switch here in the UK along with me ?

If the kid try to switch from outside UK now, since my visa is only till Sept 2019 ,will that create a problem, as have read for child visa both the parents should have valid visa( not sure what time period it has to be there) and should be along with the kid in UK

Kindly advice..
Thank you..

NO!!

Please take the time to read the extensive information available on the HO website. It is not a complicated application to make!!
