Post by kiwi_kitty86 » Sun Feb 15, 2009 8:25 pm

Hi all,

I and my husband just got married and i will soon have a tier 2 sponsored visa. My husband is now on post-study worker visa which expires in 01/2010. We are both in the UK at present. Can my husband switch to a Tier 2 dependant status while still inside the UK? Can he apply 6 months before his current visa expires?

I would be very grateful to any reply. Thanks a lot for reading.

In order to switch he will have to leave the country and apply from the country of origin.
