Applying for switch to tier 2 general from tier 2 dependent

Post by Parilale » Sun May 20, 2018 9:09 am

Hi,
Can anyone please help me with following.
I am currently in uk under tier 2 dependent. My husband is tier 2 and working with NHS. I have now been offered a job in nhs where I was to switch to nhs sponsorship and they applied for restricted CoS which was unfortunately refused. My question is as I am currently in UK already should restricted CoS be applied for or should unrestricted CoS be applied for in my case?
Thanks

As a Tier 2 Dependent, are you aware that you can only apply for a Tier 2 General visa from outside of the UK?
(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.

Restricted CoS because you can only apply outside the UK.

Unrestricted CoS is for applications within the UK, not relevant to your circumstances.
