To change visa status from HSMP dependant to Tier 1 main

Post by skrish » Sat Jul 19, 2008 10:52 pm

Hi,

I am currently arrived on to UK as HSMP dependant to my husband. My husband's visa will get expired by June 2009. But we foresee some issue in getting the extension based on the salary. So I am planning to apply for Tier 1 as a main applicant. Kindly let me know

1) Will I be eligible for applying for Tier 1
2) I have come from India. Can I apply for Tier 1 from UK or should I apply from India.

Just to add to the above,
Dependents: Employment and switching rules wrote:Dependants may not switch into any category of the points-based system in their own right. If your dependants later want to be in the United Kingdom under the points-based system in their own right, they will have to leave the United Kingdom and apply for entry clearance (permission to enter the United Kingdom).
See also Tier 1 policy guidance

Hi I have one more clarification.

Yes!. Your queries seem to suggest that you haven't read the Tier 1 policy guidance. Suggest that you read it and understand the rules.

Yes, you can score 5 points under "uk Experience" category only if you have earned GBP 16000 or more in uk (through this job or any other job).
