Query on Dependent Child visa

Post by kiran_tc » Sun Jun 18, 2023 6:21 pm

Hello,

Need clarification/information on below points

1) I have query related to dependent visa for child. Husband is on ICT visa to UK and wife is on his ICT dependent visa. Husband's visa ICT visa is expiring on Dec 2023. Meanwhile wife will get/convert to skilled worker visa in Aug 23 which will be valid till Aug 2026. If dependent child is getting converted to wife's skill worker dependent visa, what will be duration of visa for the dependent child? will it be till Aug 2026? pls note husband need to stay on the ICT visa till Dec 2023.

2) what happens to wife and child visa if husband need to move back to his country after Dec 2023 due to company commitments? can they continue to stay till Aug 2026?

Regards

vinny

1) SW 36.2.
A child will be granted permission which ends on the same date as whichever of their parents’ permission ends first, unless both parents have (or are being granted) settlement or British Citizenship, in which case the child will be granted permission for 3 years.
Until Dec 2023?

2) No affect on wife’s Skilled worker permission. Child’s extension may be refused, if child fails

SW 30.2
The applicant’s parents must each be either applying at the same time as the applicant or have permission to be in the UK (other than as a Visitor) unless:
  • (a) the parent applying for or with entry clearance or permission to stay as a Skilled Worker is the sole surviving parent; or
  • (b) the parent applying for or with entry clearance or permission to stay as a Skilled Worker has sole responsibility for the child’s upbringing; or
  • (c) the parent who does not have permission as a Skilled Worker –
    • (i) is a British citizen or a person who has a right to enter or stay in the UK without restriction; and
    • (ii) is or will be ordinarily resident in the UK; or
  • (d) the decision maker is satisfied that there are serious and compelling reasons to grant the child entry clearance or permission to stay with the parent who is applying for or has entry clearance or permission as a Skilled Worker.
If mother can collect and submit evidence of her sole responsibility for child, etc., then child may switch/extend, before his leave expires, in-line with her.
