You can apply for entry clearance from your home country, there is no cooling off if you have been in the UK as a PBS dependant beforehand

My dependent is diploma holder (in IT). Can she apply in TIER 2 General ?

One of my friend said that diploma holders cannot apply for Tier2 general visas from India.

Is IELTS enough for her ?

Can some one confirm ?

Thanks

Is IELTS enough for her ? as long as it is at least equivalent to level B1 on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).

Can some one confirm ?

I came across a recent change stating that people can switch to tier4 dependent within UK.


Please share in your thoughts.

Re: Switching - ICT Longterm Tier2 dependent to Tier2 genera

Post by jithu81 » Thu Oct 02, 2014 10:58 am

hi
I have a different query in this regard.
I am on a Tier 2 ICT visa (Post April 2011) for the last 3 years and extended to 2 more years. I had my wife and son as dependant now.
My wife was working and got a new job and she was sponsored for Tier 2 General visa. She got her Visa stamped last month in India. My son and myself continue in the old visa of mine.
Now we want to shift as dependants to her visa.
Since we will be applying from here
1. What needs to be given as address proof?? (As my tenancy agreement is expired as we are staying in the same address for 3 years)
2. Is there any documentation should i ask from her company ?
3. What is the time duration to process the visa?


Thanks
