Indefinite Leave To Remain For PBS Dependants
Dependant of skilled workers or tier 2 (general) migrants who have lived in the UK for five years is eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave To Remain (ILR).
As UK immigration specialists, we guide workers and employers through the complex Home Office visa application process.
What is the Skilled Worker Visa?
The Skilled Worker visa allows employers to recruit non-UK resident workers for certain eligible, skilled roles.
The Skilled Worker visa is open to individuals who attain 70 points by meeting specific requirements such as skill and salary level, English language ability and having a qualifying job offer from a UK sponsor.
The Skilled Worker visa makes provision for spouses, ‘durable’ partners and dependent children to apply to join the main visa applicant in the UK, and is also a route to settlement and Indefinite Leave to Remain.
What are the Skilled Worker visa requirements?
The applicable 70 points threshold for a Skilled Worker visa is made up of 50 points for mandatory or non-tradeable criteria (ie; the job offer, speaking English and the requisite skill level for the job on offer), and 20 points for what’s classed as ‘tradeable’ criteria.
