Tier 2 dependent visa application

Post by aspirant910 » Tue Jul 02, 2019 7:15 pm

My spouse have applied for ICT tier 2 general visa category with 2 year CoS duration and I am planning to apply dependent visa with my son from UK in August. As my ICT visa is valid till July 2020.
Just wanted to check can I apply in August ?
Also read somewhere that dependents can only apply for 3 year duration ? Which is not possible k my case ?

Thanks

ICT tier 2 general visa
There is no such visa category. It is EITHER an tier2 ICT visa OR a tier 2 general visa.

You can apply whenever you meet the requirements.
Also read somewhere that dependents can only apply for 3 year duration ?
Your visa will have the same expiry date as the main tier 2 general visa holder. The 3 year visa extension rule applies ONLY when the main PBS migrant has got ilr and the dependents are extending.

Tier 2 general dependent visa application within UK

Post by aspirant910 » Fri Aug 09, 2019 9:31 am

I am planning to apply for Tier 2 general dependent visa with my son. My spouse CoS do certify the maintenance of dependents and her employer is A rating sponsor.
Do I need to submit any letter from my Spouse company or bank statement verifying maintenance funds?
Also, in case of the letter is required should it be addressed to the Home Office or to the employee?
Please suggest.

T2 ICT to General dependent - Same employer

Post by aspirant910 » Thu Nov 21, 2019 1:09 pm

Hello,

I have switched to PBS dependent from T2 ICT visa while working for the same employer. Can I continue to work for the same organization or i need to take a break ( leave the organization) so that my employer can change the contract?
Are there any specific guidelines around this from UKVI

My HR is asking me to resign from the company and wait for a week before joining on a fixed-term contract in the company.
My concern is that what is the reason for the 1-week gap in employment. why this is required?
That's, why I am looking for any specific guidelines around this.

This is not an immigration issue. This is an issue to do with your employer.

Nothing prevents you from continuing to work as a tier 2 dependent.

What requirements your employer chooses is up to them. You need to get clarity from HR.

Thanks, CR001. I will check with them however, I can't argue unless I have any official guidelines as I believe its relatively new for them as well.

There is no guidance in this case really. Nowhere does it state a ICT migrant has to leave their employer if they change to a PBS dependent visa and then rejoin. The rules simply state that on a dependent visa you are permitted to work for any employer except for the restrictions on your BRP, i.e. no Dr or Dentist in training or sportsperson.
