Apply to change your visas to dependent visas once your spouse has her tier 2 General visa.Q1 - Should my child and I apply to switch from T2 ICT (Main & Child) altogether with my Spouse or separately (once my spouse has got the new VISA and traveled back to UK)? Asking on what could be the best recommendation based on the background. Also, would my child and I be able to Switch to T2 General Dependents while being in the UK once my spouse is back in UK with the T2G VISA?
RLMT will still be required to prove she has not been pre-selected if she already works for the sponsor. Note that Employer 2 cannot assign a CoS if another employer has already assigned one to her. Employer 1 will have to withdraw the CoS first.Q2 - In case my spouse end up going with Employer 2, is it right that my spuse can join now (as ICT dependent) and apply for T2G from outside UK without leaving (or resigning) the company? Is RLMT still required before RCoS is issued in this case?
You have to update your employer once you have your new dependent visa. Whether your employer keeps you or allows you to work, is entirely up to them. This is not an immigration issue but an employment one.Q3 - In case i and my Child Switch to T2G Dependent, how does it impact my ability to work with my current employer? Would I still be able to continue working for my current employer, if so what process needs to take place before i decide to switch the VISA and after I have got the new dependent VISA?
You would need to be on a dependent visa for 12 months before you can apply for your own tier 2 from home country.Q4 - Once I switch from T2 ICT to T2 Gen Dependent, how soon can I be eligible to switch into T2 Gen on my own? Is there a cooling off involved, if so for how long?
Yes. Likely around £500 extra.Q5 - Is priority service available when T2G is applied from outside the UK (India in my case)? If so, what are current fees and processing time for the same using priority?
Many thanks for your reply on this thread. Thanks for clarifying further on my Q2, I will keep that in mind about RLMT.SKJ1984 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 12, 2020 1:39 pmI have did exactly what you have planned.
Wife gets T2G first from home country.
Second Applied PBS partner and child from home. Can be done in UK.
Priority in India is 20K INR and you get decision in a week.
Now coming to your work in ICT. What's your notice period and what's your plan in future. Quitting or continuing? You must inform them as soon as you get your spouse visa and they decide what to do.
For Q2: This is bit risky. Even if you work for the same company. You still need RLMT and rCos. And you must prove you are not preselected. So better get a rCos straight away
Yes it was UK address for me as well. No worries
Many thanks, Can you please guide me on the documents required to submit application by my spouse in India (on her own)? Following is what I think of:
Thanks for clarifying. While on 5 (cover letter from me), I just wanted to add this to corroborate "Proof of funds" requirement telling that we have £945 all the way through past 90 days and moreover I am also employed and will continue to support on maintenance if they don't feel satisfied with my spouse showing funds from both UK and Indian accounts added altogether (there would be currency conversion involved and all), so just thought of this as a supplement.
Also another question, Q7 While we trust that Employer 1 (A rated) has gone with thorough RLMT before getting the RCoS approved / allocated by HO (we got a message about it being approved yesterday), does it still carry any risk of VISA being rejected due to inappropriate RLMT or any chance of work permit being terminated during any audit later on? Just wanted to understand the risk involved, since we are bearing all the visa expenses which is huge .
Not required. HO will only look at bank states, UK or abroad. Ho use their own currency conversion process, you don't have to do their job for them. Your employer is completely irrelevant.Proof of funds" requirement telling that we have £945 all the way through past 90 days and moreover I am also employed and will continue to support on maintenance if they don't feel satisfied with my spouse showing funds from both UK and Indian accounts added altogether (there would be currency conversion involved and all), so just thought of this as a supplement.
Hi there related to Q2, the employer 2 has advised that they bave done similar kind of thing in the past without any issue and kind of suggesting to do the rcos in between after my spouse has joined. The propsed work start dat at that job is fast approaching. I have read that rlmt should be done within 6 month in past if rcos allocation date. How would this be specifically proved that candidate is not preselected?SKJ1984 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 12, 2020 1:39 pmI have did exactly what you have planned.
