Potential impact of job promotion on dependent visa and ILR eligibility?

Post by Nandika44 » Fri Mar 29, 2024 11:17 pm

"Could accepting a promotion from my current sponsored employer as a senior care assistant under a skilled visa affect my husband and daughter's dependent visa status? Would they need to reapply for dependent visas, and could recent changes in regulations affect their eligibility? Additionally, could accepting the promotion pose any issues for my future ILR application?"

I would absolutely check that change of SOC from 6145 to 6146 on promotion still grants the right of dependents.
I have not found a clear and unambiguous statement that states promotion and therefore change of SOC for those already in the UK on a care worker visa prior to 11th March 2024 retain the right to dependents.
The extract below is from Gov.Uk
If you’re a care worker or senior care worker
Your partner and children cannot apply to join you or stay in the UK as your dependants unless you were employed as a care worker or senior care worker in the UK and on a Skilled Worker visa before 11 March 2024 and one of the following is true:

you’re currently still on a Skilled Worker visa
you’re extending your Skilled Worker visa with your current employer
you’re changing to a new job within the same occupation code while on a Skilled Worker visa
