Switching to Tier 2 from 10 Year Private Route

Post by 52murtaza » Tue Oct 30, 2018 1:22 pm

HI everyone.

I was put on 10 year private life route based on my length of stay (17 years) in UK and family members. I graduated in Engineering from UK university and now I am working for leading Aerospace company in UK qualifying for Tier 2 visa based on salary and eligibility criteria.

I would now like to sponsor my wife who is Non-EEA which I am unable to do so on current situation, as person on private route aren't considered as settled status and cannot sponsor spouse.

I would like to know if I wanted to switch to Tier 2 from private life route am I able to do so within UK? This will allow me to sponsor my wife for her to be called over to UK.

Your suggestion would be helpful :)

No, you cannot switch within the UK. You would need to apply from home country for tier 2 General.
