Hi Cynthia great video but kindly mind some key words they didn't state if the person is not alive Is only if you are a sole resp. The other partners can be alive but plays no role in the Childs life. I interpretation is sensitive to words

[@cynthiaacademy]

@@davidkow-ainooson7861 Thank you for your correction. I really appreciate. That is why read these things on camera so that people can interpret it for themselves. Any parent with sole responsibility and guardianship can apply including those who have lost their partners. Have a nice weekend.

Hi Thanks for the video. Any idea on dependent visa rule for students?

[@cynthiaacademy]

@@deshanjayakumar601 It is the same as before. Only Masters of research and PhD students can bring dependents. Unless they are government sponsored then a postgraduate student can bring dependents.

Hi Please, I need clarity on this. I and my husband were able to get individual skilled worker visa from different companies. We have two kids. The younger was born here while we brought the older two year old from Nigeria. Pls Is it possible to get a visa for him to apply as our dependant since we the parents are sponsored here???? How can we go about it??

[@cynthiaacademy]

@@obaduyitemitayo7804 From the updated government document, you can. The government has not shared how you can go about it. I would contact the government and ask my question. This is not immigration advise but this is my guess. Both of you would have to apply for skilled worker visa first then when it has been approved, you apply for dependent visa for your last and two older ones. You would provide evidence of both of you having skilled worker visa and quote this document and attach evidence. Always attach a cover letter to all your job applications. Find out the date that law will take effect from the statement of changes document. Let me know how it goes. All the best!

[@patrickosaji9071]

​​@@cynthiaacademyfrom her post, they already have their visas, and shouldn't be applying again, except the current visa is expiring. She is concerned about the new born.

[@cynthiaacademy]

@@patrickosaji9071 Thank you so much for shedding more light. I try my best to respond to hundreds of questions everyday because people need this information. I know that I will surely mix things up from time to time. I think the best thing for her is to call the government to find out whether the rule has already taken effect (in this video) and then submit a dependent application with all the evidence. They should be able to apply for dependent visas for both children both the one born here and the one not born here. Consult your lawyer if the one not born here has overstayed. As usual, I am not an immigration advisor or consultant. I am just sharing my opinion.

[@JEREMIAHOGBECHIE]

Cynthia so can an applicant on SOC 6135 bring in his dependents? Plx kindly elaborate.

[@cynthiaacademy]

I have already done so in the video. There are 4 conditions for that some with SOC 6135 can bring their children. You must meet one of the conditions. Watch the video slowly and check which conditions toy fall under. The link to the document is in the description below the video. You can read it and confirm for yourself. All the best!

[@ogunlekebukola9534]

Can current residents in the UK working as a career switch with dependent so far the salary threshood is met?

[@cynthiaacademy]

@@ogunlekebukola9534 If you switch from care worker to dependent, the time spent as care worker will not count during ILR. If the care worker applied for their visa after March 11th 2024, then if their dependents switches to a care worker visa, they will not be allowed to bring or stay with dependents in the UK. When in doubt contact the UK government, I am not an immigration advisor. All the best.

[@ogunlekebukola9534]

@cynthiaacademy thank you for your response. My question is, can care worker current in the UK apply with her dependant working for non NHS care home, also meet the salary threshold of £26k?

[@cynthiaacademy]

@@ogunlekebukola9534 Your question is not clear. What salary threshold of £26,000 is this for? I don’t know about any salary threshold of £26,000? What is the care worker in the UK applying for? I mean what does the care worker want to apply for? When did the care worker apply for the Health and Care visa that he is currently on? Was it before March 11th or after March 11th?

[@DigitalMomHub1]

Just seeing your video for first time good job. If 1 person has sponsorship can the kids come under the person

[@cynthiaacademy]

Yes, if the conditions of the third option in this video are met. Read the third option very well. Consult an immigration advisor for more clarity. All the best.

[@AbdulHamidShahanOfficial]

Ma'am my passport expire date is in January 2026 but my visa expire date is May 2026, so Should I link my passport to my eVisa because it will expiry before my visa expire date? If I link my passport to eVisa after expiring date can I able to see my immigration status by using passport details?

[@PaldeanClodsire1]

Yes you can link your passport to your e visa even if it's expired. And you can renew your passport 6 months before it's expired.

[@PaldeanClodsire1]

Yes You can still see your immigration status.

[@cynthiaacademy]

@@AbdulHamidShahanOfficial Yes, yes and yes. You can link the new passport when you renew your passport. This is particularly important for when you travel and when a landlord and employer needs a share code. You need all your details to be your to date. All the best.

[@cynthiaacademy]

@@PaldeanClodsire1 Thanks for responding to the question. All the best.

[@fotabuepah6504]

Renew your passport before it expires. Without a valid passport, the visa is also invalid by implication according to immigration laws.

[@arsalansheikh3126]

Hi cynthia, first of all you are a light in darkness, secondly I have a query that I work in a cqc registered care home since 2023 and sponsored by them in June 2023. My wage is 11.77 and new ongoing rate is 11.90 will it be applicable on me as well at the time of renewal ? please help ( my code is 6145 care and support worker) kindest regards Mohammad

[@cynthiaacademy]

@@arsalansheikh3126 Thank you very much for the compliment. I was thinking the old rates but it seems like they adjusted it with inflation. www.gov.uk/government/publications/skilled-worker-visa-immigration-salary-list/skilled-worker-visa-immigration-salary-list www.gov.uk/health-care-worker-visa/different-salary-requirements According to what I read on the government website, even when your sponsor was before April 2024, you have to be paid at least £23,200. Remember that I am not an immigration advisor, I am only sharing my opinion about this matter.

[@arsalansheikh3126]

@@cynthiaacademy what will be in my case ? New ones ? Because if it is the new one i wont get my renewal

[@cynthiaacademy]

@@arsalansheikh3126 I don’t know. I just shared a link that said extension before April is £23,200. Call the government for more clarity. Ask your employer to increase it. I hope it works out for you. All the best.

Will this apply to those who have secured a role with the NHS? In respect to dependents

[@cynthiaacademy]

@@forevermyne1582 With the NHS, the care worker code is 6131, therefore, you can bring and stay with dependents. All the best.

[@muhammadnehal79]

Due to many ambiguities and restrictions on care visa in current scenario, can we completely change categories of our visa like chef or manager in a hotel or any restaurant.

[@cynthiaacademy]

@@muhammadnehal79 If you choose to, you can switch to any occupation code in the SOC 2020. Be prepared to get a certificate of sponsorship and pay for IHS fees. The year spent as the main application of care worker will be added to you new visa sponsorship occupation when it is time for ILR. All the best.

[@ShaMama-oe1oq]

Muhammad Nehal sorry you can't change category visas now it is very difficult to even get a job and accommodation is very expensive

[@cynthiaacademy]

@@ShaMama-oe1oq Though your analysis might be true for some people, it is not true for others. Things being difficult doesn’t mean one can’t try. If you can afford the IHS fees and get a CoS in another profession that is your dream, please change CoS. Since I started posting, I have found out that everybody doesn’t have the same experience, I have a client who applied for 4 jobs and got 3. I know some people who have IT jobs that pay above £40,000. These people got these jobs before they graduated and could easily switch from student to skilled worker visa. On the other hand, there are some people who want to get out of healthcare after 5 years as a carer and it seems impossible because the last time they did a job in their area of specialisation was 6 years ago. Let everyone try their best to follow their dreams no matter how difficult it is. A man with a family earning £550 a day after submitting 50 applications a day for 3 months is better than someone earning £24,071 from the NHS financially. This is true especially if the care job is not their dream job. All the best.

[@cynthiaacademy]

@@muhammadnehal79 Yes, you can change category of visa. If you can afford it and can get a CoS and accommodation, please do so. You will be happier if you pursue your dreams. Don’t allow anybody tell you otherwise. It is better to try than regret this. All the best.
