PBS Tier 1(general) dependant visa online appy questions

[stitaprajna]

I was trying to apply for PBS Tier 1(general) dependant visa at :
https://apply.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/ia ... STATE=true

I am not sure how I should answer few questions like:

1. 'I want to...' : I want to join my spouse but if I need to work or if I have to work and if I find a job I may work. What should i select for this? I am afraid that if I say visit and then if my visa is issued of a category that does not allow me to work

2. Type of visa: Visit, work, settlement ? - considering my scenario explained in #1 above

3 : Type of application:
- family single, double, multiple 6 months validity
- family long term visitor (1 year)
- family long term visitor (2 years)
- family long term visitor (5 years)
- family long term visitor (10 years)

Which one I need to select?

3. Does your spouse / partner currently live with you? : presently she is not as she is abroad so I suppose the answer here is 'No'

Please help me here.

Above questions are from the online application I arrived from the above link you shared.

I am so confused about how to get to the 'PBS Dependant (Tier 1 General) visa for a spouse'.

If you are using the visa4uk drop-down menu interface you should be choosing:

Type of visa > work
Purpose of application > PBS Tier 1 Post Study
Type of application > Tier 1 (PSW) Partner

Thanks Lucapooka but I don't see these options.
If I saelect I want to work, I see below options for 'purpose of application:'
1.Employment(non Points based System)
2. PBS Tier 1 Entrepreneur
3. PBS Tier 1 Exceptional talent
4. PBS Tier 1 General
5. PBS Tier 1 Post Study
6. PBS Tier 5 temp workers

Non of these correspond to 'PBS Tier1 (General) Migrant dependent visa - outside uk'

This is very frustrating
