Changing from Tier 1 to Tier 2

Post by tier1er » Sun Jul 05, 2009 10:44 am

If my dependents and I are on a Tier 1 visa with leave to remain for 3 years, and if I have to change over to Tier 2 before the 3 years are up, would my dependents' visa status change, too? Or can they contniue on the Tier 1 status for the rest of their LTR period?

New to this, so pardon me if this question is a bit simple.

Hope someone will answer soon!
Thanks!

They are your dependents,so their status will change from dependent of Tier-1 visa holder to dependent to Tier-2 visa holder.
