如题：我现在持有的是Tier1 general dependant visa。所在公司希望给我办理工签，就是tier 2 general. 是否需要回国，我自己从官网上查的需要，但是公司申请COS的时候说是不用回国，这边就可以直接申请。有没有兄弟姐妹跟我情况一样的在这边就直接申请了？谢谢先！
没有人知道吗？ 自己顶一顶
如果是想拿pr的话，为啥非要换成t2呢，t1 dep岂不是更快
老公的tier1 一样要续签，而且公司希望我depend on 公司身上，以确保我短期内不会辞职。有没有其他的兄弟姐妹有同样的情形，在这两年的，不用回国申请。谢谢
楼主，国内网上申请Tier1 general dependant visa 选什么类型啊？ settlement吗?
你公司的HR不是做签证的，搞不清楚也很正常。除了T4的dependant可以在英国境内转T2G以外，其他类别的dependant都要境外申请。具体看UKBA原文。
Can you switch into Tier 2 (General)?
If you currently have permission to stay in the UK under any of the following immigration categories, you can apply to Tier 2 (General) from inside the UK:

Tier 2 (Intra company transfer) under the Immigration Rules n place before 6 April 2010, if you are applying to change sponsor

非常感谢答复。我也是看的这段以确定需要回国签证。就是抱一丝侥幸心理想找出个特例。
我还没有拿到COS呢。3月份提交的申请都被退回，要求4月6号重新提交。所以HR下周要帮我再交一次。说是这个月要晚些给结果，一般都是11号有消息没有批准COS，但是这个月正值改革，所以19日才能有消息。HR转home OFFICE 的邮件给我看，的确是这样的。
因为对Tony4966的问题，没有经验不知道如何答复。我觉得不属于settlement。 请查官网进一步确认。
