Switching to tier 2 dependant in country

[smodi]

Hi Gurus,

I am currently on tier 4 dependant visa and switching to tier 2 general in few weeks. Now i want my wife to apply for Tier 2 dependant, but i am confuse about in country application. Is it mandatory for my wife to go to home country and apply for tier 2 dependant or she can do it from within UK?

I read some ukba guidelines but confusing. below is the paragraph from ubka

"applying as the Family Member of a tier 1, 2 or 5 migrant in the uK
31. If you are the family member of a Tier 1, 2, or 5 migrant, you cannot apply in the UK if you:
• were last granted leave to enter or remain as a visitor, unless the relevant points-based system
migrant, who you are applying to be dependant of has, or is being granted leave to remain as a
Tier 5 (Temporary Work) migrant in the creative and sporting subcategory; or
• are on temporary admission or temporary release.
