Tier 1 in UK

Post by walldorfian » Sun May 25, 2008 6:14 am

Dear Friends,

I am currently in India. I will be in UK on a business visa.

If I can apply for Tier-1 in UK, What is the procedure to do so?.

I am sorry to be uninformed.

Regards,
Indian

Sorry mate, you cannot apply for Tier1 being in UK on business visa.

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/worki ... ouldapply/

being in Uk you can only apply if

Switching is permitted from applicants who currently hold leave as:
• as a Highly Skilled Migrant,
• as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant,
• as an Innovator,
• as a Participant in the Fresh Talent: Working in Scotland Scheme,
• as a Participant in the International Graduates Scheme (or its predecessor, the Science and Engineering Graduates Scheme),
• as a Postgraduate Doctor or Dentist,
• as a Student,
• as a Student Nurse,
• as a Student Re-Sitting an Examination,
• as a Student Writing-Up a Thesis, or
• as a Work Permit Holder.

:? If only people would make an effort to read through the BIA website and Tier 1 guidance notes before they ask such naive question. :cry:

After all, don't the senior members also read the same documents and paste extracts from those very documents / information publicly available .. like above.

If you consider yourself highly skilled, think like one.

With your wife on Fresh Talent visa and your child as her dependent, I don't believe you can include either of them as your dependents from within UK when you apply for switching / extending under Tier 1.

I believe both of them will have to return to your home country and apply for EC as your dependents once you have been granted the Tier 1 visa.

Go through the details on the webpage carefully http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/workin ... dantroute/
