"This page explains what work dependants of skilled worker (Tier 2 General) applicants of the points-based system to work in the UK can do.

What work your dependants can do
Your dependants are allowed to work, though your dependant cannot work as a doctor in training."

I told her to just say No if asked and just say that im here to join my partner and her income is more than enough for both of us? I am not sure what to say :/

Does she have work lined up in the UK?

NO,

But she will eventually work.

Okay. So your plans for her to answer "no" is a good one.

okay, Thanks

Hi All,

Just to update you, my partner was not asked for a CFO sticker at the NAIA airport. She wasn't asked many questions it's just about my work, and she's finally here.

GUys I need some more advice from you lot.

1.) how do I register her at local GP? When I went there they said because she has not got ILR, she cannot be registered with them but I haven't got ILR but I have been registered as a patient at the same surgery.

2.) What do I need to apply for a national insurance and a bank account for her?

Thank you and I hope to hear from you.

My wife hasn't got ILR yet but she is registered witha GP, had a baby here and free dental treatment etc. She did however have to show her passport at the surgery. From what I can gather these receptionist do get it wrong sometimes. Patience is required in huge quantities.

To open a bank account, it varies. Proof of address is the main one and again passport. The easiest way is to get her in on a joint named account at the first hurdle.

I pre empted this by openening a new account in my name before she arrived. When she arrived we added her to the account. I will, in time remove my name from the account so it will be solely in her name.

You can go to the job centre for a national insurance number.

Just repeating what has been said above. Your GP's receptionist is mistaken; anothet option is a visit to the local Citizen's Advice Bureau; they can also help with this - their service is free and usually very friendly.

National Insurance Number from Job Centre as has been said.

Bank Account - proof of address is essential - to this end, consider putting one or more utility bills in her name, so that she can produce them as proof of residence. These days, your partner may have to start off with a savings account only or of you are lucky a cash card account. The latter will allow her to draw cash from ATMs and to make remittances to the Philippines.
