Anyone that received a work permit and your spouse was then dependent on your permit- I need your guidance!
I was just offered a job in Scotland to work as a Children and Families social worker. My recruitment agency told me that the Home office should have received the work permit application on Wed. Aug 9th. Social workers are still on the shortage list, so typically how long does it take to get your work permit in hand for shortage occupations? Also, I have a US citizen spouse, does the spouse then complete the work permit dependent application for the entry clearance visa? We are trying to get everything together for the time when I receive the work permit. If so, what supporting documents did you and your spouse provide? Were you able to send in your visa applications together with the same set of supporting documents? I am hoping that I don't need to send my stuff in, get approved and then have to wait for my passport/visa comes back before sending his application in.
Several questions that I just really need answered. If anyone can help out, that would be great! Thank you in advance!
