Tier 4 pbs dependent switching to tier 2 General

Post by meherle3 » Mon Feb 05, 2018 2:05 am

Hi all,

Anybody recently switched from tier 4 pbs dependent to tier 2 General inside UK?

How about the RLMT process and results affected any?

Please assist me.

I have a tier 2 sponsor but want to know like what if in RLMT suitable setted job seekers are found (which happens most of the time)??

Tier 4 pbs dependent switching to tier 2 General with UK degree

Post by meherle3 » Mon Feb 05, 2018 2:25 am

Hi all,

I deeply appreciate if anybody clarify my doubt


I currently hold tier 4 dependent visa. I'm planning to switch to tier 2 General.

I hold a UK bachelor's honours.

Does my employer still need to do RLMT before issuing cos?

Thanks

You have to apply from home country.

Yes RLMT is required if not a shortage occupation.

If a settled worker is found, you cannot be offered the job.

You have to apply from home country - Unless the rules have changed, Tier 4 dependents can apply to switch to Tier 2 General. I take switch implies,
they can apply in country
