Query on a dependent VISA

Post by archana.ambati » Sun Apr 25, 2010 12:45 am

Hi,
I am currently in UK on a work permit and my husband is here on Tier 1 General VISA. As my VISA is expiring shortly, I am planning to switch to Tier 1 dependent VISA.
Please let me know whether i can switch to Tier 1 dependent being in UK or do i need to leave UK and apply for it from my home country.

That is wholly incorrect- you can switch to a dependant visa if your leave to remain at the time was amongst others a work permit visa.

check again...from UKBA website...

How you can switch in to the dependant route
You can apply for permission to stay here as the dependant of a highly skilled worker without having to leave the United Kingdom and apply for entry clearance if your last grant of entry clearance or permission to stay here was as the partner or child of:

an innovator;
a participant in the Fresh Talent: Working in Scotland Scheme;
a participant in the International Graduates Scheme (or the previous Science and Engineering Graduates Scheme);
a postgraduate doctor or dentist,
a student;
a student nurse;
a student re-sitting an examination;
a student writing up a thesis; or
a work permit holder.
