I have completed my studies in uk and just returned to India . Me and my 2 dependants have a valid student visa until Feb 2025 . I have been offered a job as a dentist from Jan 2025 and option of doing skilled worker visa from within uk and outside uk .
Now that we are expecting another child , in October - my newborn who doesn't hold a student dependant visa , can do skilled worker dependant visa from India only and not from within uk , which is making me think to do mine (main applicant and 3 dependents skilled worker visa application from India in November)
Are there any risks ? Of applying Dentist skilled worker visa application from India , instead of being within uk as I hear it's straightforward under a valid student visa . Nothing is ever straightforward! Left for the ECO to determine
But my situation is that since there is another child on the way , i cannot leave them alone here , and go to uk and do my individual application first , be alone for a month and get them there .
Basically, how risky is it as a dentist (health and care visa ) to apply from India where it will be a fresh visa application against doing it within uk , as I have valid student visa until Feb 2025. The only difference is that you get to stay in the UK and appeal if failed versus you appeal from outside if failed. Otherwise it makes no difference.
There is no appeal rights for skilled worker visa applicants whether they apply within the UK or from abroad!Ticktack wrote: ↑Fri Sep 20, 2024 11:25 amBasically, how risky is it as a dentist (health and care visa ) to apply from India where it will be a fresh visa application against doing it within uk , as I have valid student visa until Feb 2025.

Same idea, wrong terminology!CR001 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 20, 2024 11:46 amThere is no appeal rights for skilled worker visa applicants whether they apply within the UK or from abroad!Ticktack wrote: ↑Fri Sep 20, 2024 11:25 amBasically, how risky is it as a dentist (health and care visa ) to apply from India where it will be a fresh visa application against doing it within uk , as I have valid student visa until Feb 2025.

Skilled worker visa applicants only have administrative review available regardless of where they apply from and AR is for when UKVI has made an error and is not the same as an appeal.
There are some factors that you also need to consider when thinking about applying from within the UK: termination of studies and leaving the UK.mohamedraza1 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 19, 2024 7:35 pmI have completed my studies in uk and just returned to India .

In any case, given your particular circumstances: with a baby coming soon, already left the UK, etc I still think - and somehow you also agree - the safer and less stressful option would be applying from home country.
