Hello,
Can any one help me with this?
My husband is in Scotland for a 9 month study course in Glasgow. As his wife, I wanted to undersatnd what kind of visa I would need to apply for in order that I can take up some part-time work for 6 months there.
This should have already kicked in, this is from the minutes of the most recent Entry Clearance Users Panel (note: U. S. Citizens are 'specified nationals')...
When can we expect an announcement on when the ’specified nationals’ list will be expanded to cover all those non-visa national countries that were not included in phase 1.This will come into effect towards the end of 2005. The Home Office will be making a change to the Immigration Rules and we expect an announcement on this shortly. Students travelling to the UK for the start of the 2005-6 academic year will not be affected. The new entry clearance requirement will apply to all remaining non-visa nationals intending to stay for longer than six months. (-source Entry Clearance Users Panel Minutes)

But I can't find where it's been implemented yet. So I would recommend just going with 'business as usual'. That means use a VAF2 and check 'Dependant'...
Added note: The Entry Clearance Users Panel is sponsored by UKVisas to help them stay in touch with 'interested parties' and stakeholders, and concerns itself with problems surrounding the entry clearance process. It meets once or twice a year.
