If you qualify for the Post-Study Work visa (PSW) then your wife can get a dependant's visa and continue working full-time.

if the company can see a "potential " contibution then why not. Anyway if you qualify to PSW then you need to apply her for dependant visa same time as you switch category...
in a sense it is same visa category still - as a dependant

thanx 4 the valuable cool down message buddy!!!
To tell u frankly i am investing a lot for my MSc in UK guyz so i am little bothered since we both to hv manage ourselves. if my wife(dependent) cant work for 3 years while i study then she can wait for few months and get her tier-1. hence i require ur valuable suggestions.
