Switching in-country not allowed, dependant has to apply for entry clearance from home country.

Dear: manci

Its confirmed dependent partner of Tier 4 student can switch to Tier 2 as per UKBA Guidance.

Afterwards what happens to Tier 4 main applicant after dependent switch to Tier 2 General.

Tier 4 main applicant can switch to Tier 2 dependent category in country application.

please reply?

Thanx
