Switch from Tier 4 Dependant to Tier 2 General and vice versa inside UK

Post by zaib123 » Mon Oct 16, 2017 10:34 am

Dear Users.

I really need an urgent information on an important issue.

Can a Tier 4 Dependant switch to Tier 2 General and vice versa inside UK?

Can both apply at same time?

Is it possible to apply using One Day premium service?

Your help would be really appreciated.

Regards

why few hrs apart? can you please give reason because sometimes HO do not make decision on the spot and they give letter for further consideration of application. If this will be the case than how dependant will apply?

if you are worried about your application, then dont book it for same day.
The few hours apart is, in case ur application is approved, they can then look at dependent application. But obviously the first application needs approval, hence the few hours apart thing.
