ICT Short Term to ICT Long Term Switching

[sunnyf21]

Hello,

I just returned to India from UK after completing 1 year of my ICT short term Visa.
Can my employer now apply for ICT long term visa for me?
Kindly Advice

Hi - We are currently in India and I am filing UK tier 2 visa. I will be filing my wife's dependent visa along with me. I plan to travel right away but my wife will travel after few months

However, someone told me that once the Visa is stamped, my wife MUST travel to UK within 6 months. Is that correct ? I got another contradictory comment that the 6 month restriction is only for my (primary holder) travel and NOT for the spouse. What is correct ?

As per the latest rules, you both will be given 1-month visa on the passport. You need to travel to UK within this one month period and collect your BRP within 10 days from a designated Post office. This BRP will mention your actual visa duration. If your spouse cannot travel within the one month duration, she will have to apply for the visa once again.

Thanks a lot for your response !!

Thanks moonlight for you response.
I have one more query regarding dependent travel.
My ICT Long Term Visa is in Process and I will be traveling soon. But my wife will travel after 3 month on dependent Visa.
My current company is asking for below documents in addition to usual documents:

1) Leave/ Resignation/ NOC Letter from her company as she is working.
2) UK House Rental Agreement, where we will be staying as I will be in UK during her travel.

Can you please confirm weather these documents are required by UKBA to process dependent visa or not.
Thanks in Advance.

None of this is required.

None of this is required.

Thanks Sushd for your response.

But I am wondering if none of these required then why company is asking for the same.

[geriatrix]

That's for your company to answer.
As them why do they need all this when immigration rules to do state that anything of this sort is needed for a PBS dependant application.
