Converting to Tier 2 Gernal Dependent from ICT Tier 2 when new immigration laws are imminent

Post by Swolf » Wed Sep 11, 2019 1:54 pm

Hi Mods,
Would you be able to give me advice here, please?
I am in an ICT Tier 2 visa and my husband is in a Tier 2 General Visa status (as of Jan 2019). We have a son 8-year-old as my dependent.
We wish to be in the UK for the long term and hence we were planning to convert my visa to be that of a dependent to my husband. This process is coming to almost £6200 (Visa+IHS) for me and my son.
Since this is a huge amount I was thinking if this spends to make any sense now when the new immigration rules are not long to be introduced by the govt. of the UK. For eg: if ICT visa holders might get the rights to ILR or any other immigration friendly rules. I just got to hear that the earlier 2-year work after study is reinstated.

Would you be able to help give advice here, please?
Regards
SW

There has been no announcement of changing the ICT rules to get ilr.
