Criminal record certificate for Tier 2 Dependant visa

[i2siss]

Dear all,

I would be grateful if someone can let mw know whether criminal record certificate for Tier 2 Dependant visa is mandatory.

Ps: the main applicant has not provided the Criminal record certificate since it was mandatory and has already been granted the Tier 2 General visa.

In the link - point 24 states "adult partner..." - "24. The following applicants are required to provide a criminal record certificate:
...
• the adult partner (spouse, civil partner, unmarried or same-sex partner) of a PBS
migrant in the categories above, where that partner is applying for entry clearance as
a PBS dependant either with the main application or to join them subsequently. "

The main applicant was not asked to provide criminal records certificate because he does not fall within the list of SOC code mentioned in Point 26 and does not work for education, health ... And the main applicant is now in the UK.

The question is: does the dependent follow exactly what was the case for the main applicant?
