Hello, my husband and I are from Australia and are currently 1 year into our 2 year youth mobility visa (tier 5) living in the UK and his work has agreed to sponsor him for the the Tier 2 VISA. We have heard that as of the next financial year that the Tier 2 dependent won’t be able to work so would like to get the Tier 2 Visa and dependent Visa ASAP. Here are my questions:
1. Is it true that they are brining in policy that the dependent won’t be able to work as of April next year?
2. Is it only the partner applying for the Tier 2 work sponsorship visa that has to apply within their home country? Can I apply for the Tier 2 depended visa whilst remaining in the UK?
3. If the sponsor is fully approved (‘A-rated) and they have stated on the certificate of sponsorship that you won’t claim benefits during your stay - does this carry over for the dependent as well? Or does the dependent still need proof of £630 in their bank account for 3 months?
4. How does the sponsor prove that the worker is better than others applying for the job? Is there anything we can do to help with this?
5. Do we have to still pay the application fee even if our applications gets rejected? Or would we get a refund?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your help!
