Hi
My Tier 2 visa application was refused because I am currently working on a dependent visa.I have everything else required including certificate of sponsorship from my employer.Do I stand any chance if I appeal?
Thanks

I don;t understand why it would be rrefused on that basis given that you are eligable to work on a dependant status.

What did the refusal letter say?

It said that I was not eligible to apply for tier 2 because I was not on a list of eligible categories.Dependent visa is not on the list that was quoted in the letter which is also on the website.

if dependent visa is not on the list then its not worth going for appeal..

It is not possible to switch (change status from within the UK) from dependent status to Tier 2 (General) as 245HD(b) is unsatisfiable, unless you are the partner of a Tier 4 migrant.

Vinny this thread is three years old. Have a look at the previous posters posts. Troll?
