UK Entry Clearance Guide
UK Entry clearance for the dependants of work permit holders

If you are the spouse or dependent child of a work permit holder then you will also need to apply for entry clearance along with the principal applicant, if you intend to travel with them to the UK for more than six months. You will need to present the same completed form, photographs and fees as above, along with your passport at a British Embassy or Consulate in your country of nationality or usual residence. You will also need to provide evidence of your relationship to the main applicant, i.e. by providing a marriage certificate, birth certificate, etc.

Probably yes.

Thanks. I need to know if it is possible for him to find a job here, while my VISA lasts for 1 year only.
If he finds a good job here, we might want to settle down here..

I need to know the best possible ways of achieving this, legally..

I am currently working on a Tier2 Intra company transfer. After 1 year, I might have eto go back.. but if my spouse gets a job here, can I re-apply as his dependent and come back?

Is that feasible? Really?

If I am not mistaken,Tier2 Intra category is for employees of multi-national companies who are being transferred by an overseas employer to a skilled job in a United Kingdom based branch of the organisation. Amd you must be established staff or a graduate trainee.Tier 2 Visa (Intra-Company Transfer) is not automaticaly prolonged, therefore a dependent visa time limit has to be considered according to the Tier2 visa.

OK-it's case by case. Generally employers are reluctant to hire someone who has 3 months dependent VISA./Honestly:If I am employer I will not hire him/
Who knows?

No.His visa cannot extend for more time than yours. He cannot prolong his stay.Thus you have to leave the UK together.

I am not a soothsayer.No one can predict the future.

Keep in mind the prices are approximately:
Premium two-day service: £800 + VAT
Postal application less than 12 months: £350 plus £175 for each dependent
Overseas application less than 12 months: £350 plus £350 for each dependent
It may vary...

Hi I am in a tricky situation. Any help on this will be much appreciated:

Situation: I have a Cos and have decided to take my husband and kid as dependents.. along with me to UK under Tier 2 intra company transfer. As per the rules, the dependent (if working) should produce a resignation letter or letter stating absence on loss of pay for a duration of his stay.

My husband is unable to quit as his company is not encouraging it nor are they ready to give him a letter of absence / no objection letter. Instead they have agreed that he could work from home.

In such a situation I am unable to produce the relevant documents. If I state that my dependent (husband) is not working and proceed with visa processing, will I be in trouble? Do they verify the documents thoroughly?

Any advise on this will be helpful. Its urgent.

Thanks

Hi everyone I am actually a Mauritian citizen finishing my studies as medical student in Ireland. I am planning to start to work as a doctor in the UK next year and I was wondering if my husband will be able to come over there with me at the same time as a dependent/spouse. Also will he be able to look for a job while on his dependent visa. He is fully qualified with a Masters degree in Marketing from University College Dublin Michael Smurfit Business School.

Thanks a lot in advance for your kind and great help
