HSMP extension no points..

Hi,

Thank you in advance for reading this!..I am not in a very happy situation, which is why I am here ;-0... I came here in March 08 on HSMP Visa with my wife on dependent visa. Things haven't really worked out for me , I have since been unemployed with no income. After all these months, I am finally close to starting something on my own. Being self employed is good but no income means I am unable to get any points for my extension which is due Dec 09. "What are my options"..is there anyway of extending or switching my visa...

Because of this uncertainty My wife is planning to get her own HSMP Visa, she has been working since we came here and pay is very well ..Problem is that to switch from dependent visa to HSMP she needs to go back to home country. Her employer is also fine to let her work from home country for 3 months...At this point it looks like the only option available..Is there anyway she can apply for HSMP here in UK.....

In the end should I be switching from HSMP to dependent visa here in UK after my wife gets her HSMP or Do I also apply with her in home country..

Really appreciate your patience, thanks again...Please let me know your suggestions!

Regards,
hsmpian

There are still @ 8 months for your extension. See if you could earn required amount of money in these days.

No, she need to apply from home country.

yes.

Thanks for your reply Gotcha..I am a Project Manager in IT and have found the market pretty tough! I am starting out on my own now and its work but I think it might be sometime before I can make some money..However with regards to my wife's visa its says

" Switching in to the points-based system
Dependants may not switch into any category of the points-based system in their own right. If your dependants later want to be in the United Kingdom under the points-based system in their own right, they will have to leave the United Kingdom and apply for entry clearance (permission to enter the United Kingdom)."

However I am not sure if this is applicable in my case!

Thanks again..

You can become a dependent of Tier-1 if you were a dependent of the main applicant when he/she switched or applied for Tier-1 for the first time. Unfortunately you dont tick the boxes.

Exact wordings:

Switching is permitted when applying as a family member who currently holds leave as the partner or child of a person who had leave under another category and who has since been granted, or is, at the same time, being granted leave to remain as a Relevant Points Based System Migrant

Single fee of Â£750 when you apply together and as an in country applicant. Fee is payable for every applicant when applied from outside -whether or not applied together.
