Can Tier 4 dependent work as a limited company contractor?

Post by Jit » Wed Oct 09, 2013 3:00 pm

Hi Friends,

I am an Indian. I am currently in UK on PSW visa (will expire in February, 2014). I am working as an IT professional and as a limited company contractor (i.e. I have opened my own limited company and contracting).
My wife (who is my dependent now) is planning to study (Post graduate or PhD) with Tier 4 visa.
I have following queries for which I am screaming to get answer. Your answers will be highly appreciated.

1:> Can my wife switch to Tier 4 visa in UK after she gets CAS from an university or she requires to go back to India and apply?

2:> I will be her dependent once she will have Tier 4 visa. What will be the name of my visa? Can I apply from here (UK) for switching my visa from current PSW to dependent of Tier 4 or I need to go back to India and apply?
3:> Can I continue to work as a limited company contractor?

Best Regards,

libral

Hi Jit,

In regard to your questions, yes your wife can switch into Tier 4 and she doesn't have to go back.

Yes you can apply dependent visa but you have to go back to india.

Many thanks Libral. Much appreciated.

What will be the name of my visa (Tier 4 dependent? )?

Also Can I continue to work as a limited company contractor (when I will be dependent on my wifes Tier 4 student visa) which I am doing now with my PSW visa?

Many thanks.
