Tier 4 Dependent graduating with an MBA

Post by Roland O. » Mon Sep 21, 2015 12:26 pm

I am on a tier 4 dependent visa, as my wife is enrolled in a PHD Program and she will graduate in November 2017.
I will graduate with an MBA from the university of Strathclyde Glasgow in November 2015, done part time.
Although I am eligible to work under my current visa, the problem is that I cannot stay beyond November 2017. Is there a way to switch from Tier 4 dependent to Tier 2?

Find a sponsor.

Is your wife not extending her stay after November 2017, for example under the Doctorate Extension Scheme?

If you switch from tier 4 dependent to tier 2 general, you will need to find a tier 2 sponsor.

If your wife gets a job from a tier 2 sponsor, or extend her stay under the Doctorate Extension Scheme, you can continue to be her dependent.

And unlike a Tier 4 migrant switching to Tier 4 in the UK, your sponsor will need to issue a restricted CoS and do the Resident Labour Market Test.
