Dear members

I could not find answer to my question: Currently my child is on TIER - 4 visa (above 18) and myself TIER 2. My child has been in UK on dependent visa during my previous UK stays (when she was under 18): 2004-06 (TIER 4 dependent ) and 2011-14 (TIER 2 dependent). Will these previous DEPENDENT VISA status / stays of my child help/count to convert her current TIER 4 visa into TIER 2 dependent visa within UK?

I look forward to quick answer to this awkward / odd situation.

Kind regards
Prashant

There are gaps in the timeline you provided. However, I don't think the previous dependant visa matter in this situation. The current visa is Tier 4 and will have to meet all the necessary requirements for Tier 2 dependant. I guess the child might have to make the switch from outside of the UK. I am not entirely sure
I am not a lawyer and do not claim to be one. All my comments here are based on my opinions, experience and interpretation of the appropriate UKVI guidance documents and immigration rules.

Unfortunately, if child is over 18 and not currently or last on a dependant leave, then it’s too late. 319H.(c) fails.
