Tier1 Visa gives you the right to come to and live in UK even if you don't have a job. You might not be coming here to stay for long this time, but I recommend you not to mention you as a tourist - tourist visa is different kind of visa and after all you are not a tourist, so why to confuse the immigration officer - you can live in this country if you really wish to.rnvv wrote:Hi - I plan on visiting the UK for a couple of weeks on holiday in July. My tier 1 visa is valid from april 2009 to april 2012. Any idea if I'd face any issues at immigration? I dont intend moving to the UK till late this year or potentially next year even... so in other words, I am treating the visa on this occasion as a multiple entry tourist visa.
thanks very much.

If one goes by the book (rules+underlying spirit), what you intend to do should not be seen as any different from coming here on a tourist VISA and start working full time.
Objective of Tier-1 (G) is ultimate settlement (leading to settlement) as opposed to non-settlement VISA categories like visitor/student/tourist/transit etc.tech wrote:The word "settle" means you have legal right to stay in the UK which Tier 1 general doesn't give you or any visa which has got expiry date for that matter. Only citizenship and ILR does that.

a person who is in the United Kingdom for other purposes or reasons not covered by other application forms (this does not include asylum).
Yes this is possible. But it is risky, he may be questioned on why he isn't using his Tier 1 PSW that he's had since 2010. If he is to do this, I suggest he book some interviews already and have all the paperwork with him.jessica_halida wrote: Question : my husband visited us twice with his Tier1 PSW visa. On his 3rd visit Dec 2011 - he plans to look for job back in UK. Is this possible? Or should I apply for a dependant visa for him?
I will be eligible for ILR in early 2012, I try to avoid applying dependant visa for him since he would have to switch to spouse visa when I get my ILR. Am I right?
