Can I change my visa status into dependent and vice versa

Post by jackmdx » Sun Nov 14, 2010 10:07 pm

Hi,
Thank you very much for reading this and I'd be very grateful to all of you if you please reply to this thread. At the moment I'm in Tier 1 PSW visa and my wife got as my dependent visa. I want my wife to get a Master's degree from this country. So can she apply here as a student (main applicant) and I change over my visa status into dependent at the end of our current leave please?

Thanks very much!

Yes you can and there will not be any issues. I am not sure if you have to do the dependency change outside the UK but besides that, you can become a dependant Tier 1 holder on your wife's Post Study Worker's Visa at the end of your Tier 1 visa.

Both your wife and you will need to apply for entry clearance from outside the UK, to change your immigration status from Tier 1 (PSW) to Tier 4 (General).
