PBS dependent visa - Category moved to shortage of occupation of main applicant

Post by kalas » Wed Feb 19, 2020 9:34 pm

Hi,

I am holding a tier 2 (general - PBS) visa till next year. Now I am applying for a dependent visa extension for my wife and kid. But my visa category has been moved shortage of occupation list recently. Considering this, may I know what will be the visa category for my wife and kid will be ? do I need to submit the PBS dependant visa application or it will be Tier 2 general dependent (shortage of occupation )?

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,

K.

What is your SOC code? sometimes, the SOC code could be in the shortage occupation but only to certain types of jobs. So you need to check again if the entire SOC code has moved to shortage occupation or not. Dependant visas are based on the visa of the main applicant. I guess their application will need to align with yours.
