A query about switching to Tier 4 General visa.
I'm currently holding dependent visa of Tier 1 PSW (my husband) which is valid until Oct 2013. I am through mid-Phd at the moment and want to switch to student visa, and my husband becomes my dependent. so my questions:
1- I know that normally applicant has to leave the UK and apply from his/her home country if wants to switch to Tier 4, but as there is no British consulate/embassy in Iran at the moment, Iranians are expected to travel to neighbour countries for making visa application. This is EXTREMELY difficult for me financially, as you need to stay in a foreign country for an unknown amount of time (usually 2 weeks)

2- In case we had to apply from abroad, should my husband do it at the same time as me? He prefers to apply when I got the visa and I'm back in the UK and then he applies as my dependent. He's working and he'll be in trouble if he's refused when outside the UK, getting holidays etc.
Many many thanks in advance for your help
