Tier 2 General Dependent

[MKsham]

Hi,

I am currently in UK on Tier 2 ICT dependent visa and I am currently working in an organisation. I have received an offer from another company which would sponsor my Tier 2 General - Restricted CoS. The CoS is planned to be applied in the month of Aug, once approved i would need to go back to India for applying the visa application . However, I would need to serve a notice period of 2 months in the current organisation. Can you please let me know once the CoS is approved, if i can still complete the notice period under the current dependent visa and go back to India after two months for the Tier 2 General visa?

It will depend on the work start date mentioned in the COS (by your prospective employer while applying for COS). If it's after 2 months, then yes you can go back to your home country after your notice period.

However, do note that you need to use the COS within 3 months after its approved & assigned.

Thanks for your response

Hi, My spouse is currently staying with me in Tier 2 ICT dependent. She has the Tier 2 General COS approval from new sponsor in Healthcare. She is planned to travel back to India early Oct. I have few questions regarding the Tier 2 General Processing:

1. I hope there is not specific process to handover the Tier 2 ICT Dependent visa back to UKBA. It becomes automatically invalid if the COS for Tier 2 General is applied. Please confirm if the understanding is correct.

2. Police Certificate - Since she is in healthcare, she would would need to take the Police Certificate. From 2007, she was here in UK for 5 years appx and in India for 5 years. I am aware of the Police Certificate from India (Passport Office appointment), however i am not sure if would need to take similar certificate from UK.

3. Point Based System - Is it applicable still for the Tier 2 General processing. Pls confirm.


Thanks for your help & support.

Please keep all questions on the same application in ONE topic (this one).

1. I hope there is not specific process to handover the Tier 2 ICT Dependent visa back to UKBA. It becomes automatically invalid if the COS for Tier 2 General is applied. Please confirm if the understanding is correct.

The dependent visa will automatically be cancelled IF the Tier 2 General visa is approved.

3. Point Based System - Is it applicable still for the Tier 2 General processing. Pls confirm.

Yes, she must meet the points to be successful for the visa. The clue is Tier 2 General PBS (points based system).

2. Police Certificate - Since she is in healthcare, she would would need to take the Police Certificate. From 2007, she was here in UK for 5 years appx and in India for 5 years.

Hi, I am currently on my Tier 2 ICT. My spouse was with me until October 2017 as my dependent on Tier 2 ICT. She had moved back to India for getting the Tier 2 General from a Healthcare company, which needs police certificate. She had applied her visa end of Oct and got it early Nov. She is now back in UK with the Tier 2 general.

I am now planning for myself and my kid to move as dependent to the Tier 2 General visa. Could you please let me know if i would need to get the Police Certificate from India? Any other documents, apart from marriage certificate (proving my relationship) and birth certificate for my kid is needed for changing our visa here in UK?
