Re: Changing from Tier 2 General to Tier 2 Dependent. Please advise!!

Just an update on my case. I submitted all my documents and had my biometrics taken on 5th June at Croydon. I paid for the standard service. I received my approval letter 2 weeks later on the 19th. They attempted to deliver my BRP on the 26th but I wasn’t at home. Picked it up today from the depot. ...

Re: Changing from Tier 2 General to Tier 2 Dependent. Please advise!!

Ok thanks. Do I not get a reference number or anything from UKVI to chase the status of my application or address any other queries?

If not, do I just need to wait for them now to make a decision and get back to me?

Re: Changing from Tier 2 General to Tier 2 Dependent. Please advise!!

Does anyone know how long it should take to get a confirmation email from UKVI to say they’ve received my application? I had my biometrics testing on Wednesday where they submitted all my documents etc. As I said on another thread it didn’t exactly fill me with confidence as he thought I should have ...

Re: Changing from Tier 2 General to Tier 2 Dependent. Please advise!!

Yep that’s fine.

I just mean if you think there is anything in particular I need to include in the ‘Proof of application’ category?

There doesn’t seem to be any formal way of submitting all the documents. I just upload them. Will they submit / send them off after the biometrics interview?

Re: Changing from Tier 2 General to Tier 2 Dependent. Please advise!!

Hi CR001, I am uploading my documents on the UKVCAS site. There are a number of optional category types to load my documents. Some are self-explanatory like ‘Residence in the UK’, ‘Finances’, and ‘Medical information’. Some do not apply to me such as ‘Proof of business’. Have you any idea what I may ...

Re: Changing from Tier 2 General to Tier 2 Dependent. Please advise!!

Hi CR001 / anyone that knows,

Will I need to get a new DBS check before applying for my dependent visa if I want to continue working as a Physio? The official info is so unclear regarding this but I would assume this would only be essential after applying for a new job.

Does it matter that my GF had to leave the country to apply and receive her Tier 2 visa in terms of evidencing 2 years of continuous cohabitation? She was only out of the country for 5-6 weeks in total I think.

Re: Changing from Tier 2 General to Tier 2 Dependent. Please advise!!

Can you book a UKVCAS appointment in advance or do you have to do it after you submit your application? And all the evidence you upload to the electronic system - does this have to be notarised or signed by anyone? As I said most of my bills etc will be PDFs straight from the source (NHS, British ...

Cheers, thanks for that. I found my original letter where it said my UK visa had been successful - the date it mentioned was the same as on the vignette. In terms of maintenance funds, I am going to prove that I have had the required amount for at least 90 days. Is it OK to scan the last online ...

Thank you. It’s just the wording of the question. She has a sponsored Tier 2 visa (not shortage occupation) so she has been granted ‘leave to remain’ on that basis but obviously not ILR. Her visa expires late next year so it’s only temporary. Most of the advice out there relates to dependents of thos ...

Cheers CR001. I read somewhere that she needed at least 6 months on it to apply.
