Inquiry Regarding PSW Dependent Visa Eligibility for Master's Course Graduate

Post by syamK » Thu Feb 29, 2024 11:01 pm

A friend of mine commenced a master's course in 2021, successfully completing it in 2023, and is presently on a PSW VISA. Could he now bring his partner to the UK, and would the partner be eligible to work under a PSW dependent VISA? I am seeking clarification on this matter due to recent changes in VISA rules, which I am not entirely familiar with.

Your partner needs to have been a dependant on your Student visa or Tier 4 (General) student visa to apply. You’ll also need to show that they’re still your partner.

Extract from graduate visa gov.uk - so if they were not dependents under his student visa that precludes them from graduate visa dependents.

Thank you very much for your response. Yes, the partner has the dependent status. would the partner be eligible to work under a PSW dependent VISA?

Does the spouse currently have a uk student dependent visa?

Graduate route dependent visa can only be applied for within the uk if the person holds a student dependant visa that is not expired
