PBS dependent with work restriction

[stevas13]

Hello,

I, currently hold PBS (Tier 2) dependent visa with restricted work - no training as doctor. I came to UK in Jan 2014 and have completed 3 yrs 9 months of my stay. My husband just got his ILR in Sept 2016. I'm nearing my extension period. I worked so far as doctor in non-training post. I hope to apply for Post-graduation training post later this year. I have few questions

1. Is there a possibility that once I get the offer letter, I will be able to remove the restriction staying in UK by submitting the training conditional letter as proof ?
2. I'm aware that i might have to go back to my home country to remove the restriction, then what visa should I apply ( meaning: can I continue being PBS dependent or do I have to apply for new visa with my university sponsoring for it )
3. Would you suggest I just go ahead with FLR(M), as my husband is ILR visa - being aware that it would reset my clock for ILR to 5 yrs while I can Qualify for it in 1yr3months if i remained in PBS dependent.

Many thanks in advance.

My understanding is that you cannot have this restriction removed as a PBS Dependent, either in the UK or from home.

2. I'm aware that i might have to go back to my home country to remove the restriction, then what visa should I apply ( meaning: can I continue being PBS dependent or do I have to apply for new visa with my university sponsoring for it )

You would likely have to apply for the appropriate visa.

3. Would you suggest I just go ahead with FLR(M), as my husband is ILR visa - being aware that it would reset my clock for ILR to 5 yrs while I can Qualify for it in 1yr3months if i remained in PBS dependent.

Your choice to be honest and only you can make the decision. FLR(M) will give you the freedom but at the cost of a new 5 year residence period. OR you could defer what you want to do until you have ILR.

Many thanks for your advise.

I have one simple question. I know this might sound ridiculous, but would like to clear it. I might be mis-guided by my solicitor. who confused me on the appropriate form to fill. I opted to change my visa to FLR(m) or dependent to husband who has ILR to pursue my career. Which form am i suppose to fill - Set(m) or Set (o) form. ?

I opted to change my visa to FLR(m) or dependent to husband who has ILR to pursue my career.

If you want to switch to FLR(M), then FLR(M) is the appropriate form.
