Immigrant Visa for Skilled Workers or Members of PBS
An Immigrant Visa for Skilled Workers or Members of PBS is a visa category for people who want to live and work in the UK, have specific job skills, or are in a group with special requirements.
This type of visa lets the spouse or minor children of people with a UK points-based visa come to live with their family in the UK.
As of the date the application is made, an applicant can’t be the husband, partner, or minor child of someone applying for PBS or skilled migrant status.
Dependents of people who came to the UK on skilled visas might be able to stay in the UK as well, either on a skilled migrant visa or as Family Members of someone already here. This is a good option for families since parents or guardians can live, work, or study in the UK while keeping their family together.

You can submit a new application, ask your family to come with you, request more time with your visa, try to get permanent residency, challenge an unfair decision, and other options.

To apply for a PBS Migrant Visa as a family member in the UK, you must show that you meet specific UK Visa and immigration rules.
In other words, you’re already 18 years old.
If you, a family member, your husband, civil partner, unmarried partner, or same-sex partner holds or is granted a skilled or partner visa, or if one of you becomes a British citizen after receiving a PBS leave, you might get PBS leave too.
For same-sex or unmarried partners of PBS migrants, you must have lived together and acted like a married couple or civil partners for at least two years.
You plan to live in the UK with the PBS migrant for as long as they are there. You won’t be allowed to stay longer than the time approved for PBS migrants.
Maintenance payments are needed for migrants under the PBS, except for people who come under Tier 1 Investor.
You are not a guest, short-term student, temporary release person, or temporary admission applicant who has already been approved to stay.
If you are over 18 and want to apply as a partner in the Tier 1 Investor or Tier 1 Entrepreneur scheme, you must show your criminal records from every country where you spent more than a year in the last ten years.
Need urgent help? Call:
- You are a dependent of a permanent resident alien (ILR) who is a PBS migrant, a PBS migrant who is currently in possession of leave (including an ILR visa), or a PBS migrant whose ILR falls under Tier 1, 2, or 5 regulations;
- You must be less than 18 years old on the application date unless you are seeking permission to stay and were previously granted permission as a child of a PBS migrant or a migrant granted permission under a different category of rules who is now applying for permission as a PBS migrant or who was previously granted permission under a different category;
- No legal unions (marriage or civil unions), no autonomous households, and no way of life;
- You have no plans to extend your stay in the UK beyond the duration of the PBS migrant's visa.

- As a PBS migrant, you are primarily responsible for your upbringing and always will be.
- You have also made appropriate preparations for your care in the UK, and it would be desirable not to reject the application due to factors involving your family or other situations.
- Unless they are Tier 1 Investor migrants, PBS migrants must maintain money.
Verifying your eligibility before applying is essential, since the criteria may vary depending on your situation.

Typically, up until the migrant’s leave ends, their family members may remain in the nation with them. Your three-year leave will be longer than that of the PBS migrant. If needed, you may ask for additional leave to ensure your stay fulfils the qualifying time.
The United Kingdom allows dependents of primary migrants to stay indefinitely if their current PBS leave is valid.
Partner of PBS migrants granted permission must meet a 180-day residence requirement as of 11 January 2018 to apply for indefinite leave to stay. The Home Office will stop looking at absences in distinct 12-month periods and start looking at them continuously.
No one under the age of 18 who has not obtained permanent resident status before may apply for this category as a family member of a PBS migrant. Other relatives, such as parents or grandparents, are also not eligible for this group.
Contact our helpful, knowledgeable staff immediately at +442080162308 to find out how we can facilitate your stay in the UK for any purpose, whether education, employment, or recreation.
To prolong your stay as a family member of a PBS migrant, you must apply to the UK Visas and Immigration before your first grant of leave expires.
In most cases, the rules for applying for a family member PBS as a permanent resident in the UK are the same as those for the original application. But before you click Submit on your application, ensure everything from your relationship status to your plan to take care of the house is up to date.
After being denied a skilled migrant visa or a PBS, you can try another visa option or appeal the decision.
If you’ve already had an application for entrance, stay, or settlement turned down, we can help you decide whether to try again or contest the decision.
Suppose you think your application was turned down because of mistakes, unfairness, or something illegal. In that case, our immigration barristers can help you challenge the decision by representing you at the hearing. Contact us at this number: +442080162308.
When applying for a skilled migrant or permanent resident visa, the wait usually lasts between a few months and a few years, depending on the country and the size and popularity of the applications.
