Switching to Student visa from PBS dependent

Post by rubyracer2 » Thu Jun 16, 2022 10:42 am

Hi Gurus, my friend is living in the UK on tier 2 ICT visa for the past 5 years. His company is not willing to switch him to Skilled worker general visa.

Is it a possibility to enrol his wife in a college and apply for student visa and then he can switch as her dependent? She has graduated from college in 2007 in India.
  • Is there a english language requirement? Her Undergrad degree was taught in English. If an english language requirement is there can a NARIC certificate be used or she has to write IELTS.
  • they have been living in the UK for 5 years? Would the international fees apply or the 9K max per year that is for UK residents.
Many thanks in advance

She would be pay the Overseas rate, note Home.
I do not give immigration advice. I refer you to Immigration Rules, guidance, other online content and to your sponsor.
