Parent Visa Category for a Child who's on Tier 4 visa

Post by DeeJay159 » Mon Jun 03, 2019 10:21 am

I am on a Tier 2 ICT visa in the UK for past 4 years. My Son, who recently gave examinations for 11+ secondary schools has qualified through one of the private school, who does offer / sponsor Tier 4 Student Visa.

My question is that if the school offers Tier 4 Student Visa to my child, as a parent, is it possible for me to change my visa status category from Tier 2 ICT to some other category for e.g. Tier 2 General, etc., which relieves me from a 12 month cooling-off period and I can change my current employer and at a salary less than £159,600 and be in the UK to support my child's education ?

Please advise...!

If your child is 12 years old or less you could apply in your home country for a visa as the Parent of a Tier 4 child, but you could not work with such a visa nor switch in the UK to any other type of visa. See

I do not give immigration advice. I refer you to Immigration Rules, guidance, other online content and to your sponsor.
