Post by Push1011 » Sat Jul 15, 2017 8:32 am

Hi All,

I am a tier 2 general and my wife is dependant of me. Recently she got sponsorship from her office.
And she went to India and apply her tier 2 general.

So in the case, Could I switch to tier dependant of her from UK or I need to go india?

Also there is no clear information that how do apply tier 2 dependant from inside UK .

Online application form , support ING documents etc..
Could you please advise me if you have any idea.

You can switch to Tier 2 dependent from within the UK. The thread in the link below will help you. Click on CR001's link in her first post in the thread:

(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Thanks for the reply.

But I am confused that where to apply online.

I have started with the link
https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... nt-partner

Is the above link is correct to apply ?

I struct at the sponcer license number ?
Which means license number of my current or my wife new employer ?
