Yes obie , this will be a very good news for all of us who have been victims of thoughtless and draconian rules of UKBA/Homeoffice.

[vinny]

I am making changes to the rules for dependants in the Points Based System and other work routes, following the High Court judgment in R (on the application of Zhang) v Secretary of State for the Home Department. The changes will allow dependants to apply from within the UK, providing they are not here illegally, as visitors, or on temporary admission or temporary release. They will still need to satisfy all other existing requirements.

The other changes set out in this statement shall take effect from 1 October 2013.

Paragraph 131 is among the other changes. Therefore, the changes set out in paragraph 131 shall take effect from 1 October 2013.

Do also read the PBS Dependant Policy Guidance, Family members of points-based system migrants (319AA-319J) and Dependants of part 5 migrants (193A-199B).
