Dependent on Graduate Visa

Post by Avani345 » Wed May 08, 2024 12:51 pm

Hello Everyone
I came to UK in Jan 2020 as Tier 4 Student. I am currently at the end of my graduate visa route. I have been working here for 2 years and my employer is willing to sponsor for skilled worker visa. But the employer's sponsor license got rejected.
I recently got married and my wife is in UK with Graduate visa until 2026. Is there any way i can apply to become her dependent and extend my stay in UK. I need urgent advise on this matter if I can become her dependent.
If that is not possible, Will I be able to explore the option of FLR HRO. If so, i need assistance with presenting compelling grounds of extending my stay in the UK.

No you cannot.

What exactly do you believe are your compelling grounds?
Char (CR001 not Casa)

Please DO NOT send me a PM for immigration advice. I reserve the right to ignore the PM and not respond.

I wouldn't expect that to fly - you can go to your home country and be assigned a COS there.

That's not a compelling reason. You had two years to find a job with a licenced sponsor if you wanted to stay working in the UK beyond your Graduate visa - assuming your employer didn't have a licence when you started.

Not sure when your current visa will expire, so it might be worth to find a job with a licenced sponsor now.
