Dependent Visa and IHS

Hi experts,

While the main applicant's application(Tier 2 General) is pending with home office, can we apply for the dependent Visa?

In the previous Visa application, we have paid the IHS fee for 2.5 years since the Visa duration was for 2 years and 1 month. Now, with 2 years completed, we are applying for next Visa for 3 years. We have to pay the IHS for 3 years. This leaves overlap of 6 months IHS fee. Can we claim the refund for this?

Thanks

Yes.

You have to pay IHS again for 3 years. Unlikely that you will get a refund.

Thanks a lot

Hi,

My spouse is currently in Tier 4 student visa. Can she switch to tier 2 general within UK?

I am on Tier 4 dependent Visa valid until Oct 2020. If my spouse can switch to Tier 2 general, should I have to switch along with the main applicant or can I switch once after my spouse visa arrives?

Thanks in Advance

Sorry to chase up...

I would like to know if dependents has to switch along with main applicant or they can switch later?

Thanks
