Hi,
Dont worry. Get this sorted out right away. They will stamp it from Mar'09

Hi,
Yes, surely.

Hi,
I just called the BDHC in Chennai to confirm the maintenance funds for dependents and they clarified that it is GBP1600/- irrespective of how many years the spouse has lived in the U.K Hope this is helpful

Hi,
In practice we apply first for the primary applicant with GBP 2800/- as maintenance funds. Once the visa is through we apply for the dependants using funds apart from the GBP 2800/- already shown, and have had no problems so far.

Hi,
If ur dependant is applying from India should'nt her maintenance fund be GBP1600/?

Hi,
Lets hope for the best and keep us posted.

Hi,
they will definitely rectify the lapse, and issue the visa if u had submitted everything as per their guidelines

Hi,
I believe u did not make ur stand very clear to the ECO.Even in ur post u mention that only ur Mom & Sis are dependant of ur father. If that be the case why dint u submit ur financials? There no other re-course except to re-apply.

Hi amitkddas,
Ur English language requirement points were not awarded to u bcos a masters degree does not fulfill the criteria. U must submit only details of your bachelors degree.

Hi,
U need to get hold of a good solicitor ASAP.

Hi,
Rajesh is right. But it is advisable to travel at the earliest possible, so that u settle down economically before ur extension comes and u have to qualify all over again.

Hi MSR, It is absolutely true that the BDHC holds the track history of all applicants. But the law to ban people from entering the U.K on misrepresentation / fraud was instituted only in april 'o8. So u still might have a chance if u could present 110 % genuine documents this time and give a convinc...

Hi,
ramgsk, I think u missed out the point that he is applying in the U.K. Both the forms and the fee structure is different if one applies from within the U.K

Hi,
U will have to apply as soon as possible well before ur visa expires. Otherwise u will have to come to ur home country and apply from there.

Hi Satish.
Its GBP 2800/ throughout for applicants who have never lived or worked in the U.K.

Hi,
The information I have provided is from the BDHC in Chennai, India. But all said and done it is going to evolve in to the VAF 10 very soon.

Hi,
If u hold an HSMP Status u must use VAF2 for your dependant.

Hi,
U will have to submit the complete package sent to the Home Office to the BDHC also along with updated pay slips and bank statements. They will again verify everything.

Hi Itsmanu, Yes u can definitely apply for ur HSMP provided u qualify with the minimum 75 points. Your dependant staus does not prevent u from doing that. Although, on second thought I'm wondering why u would want to do that, as u can legally enjoy all the perks that ur spouse is entitled to.

Hi,
Yes u can, provided u at least have the xerox copy of the approval.

Hi,
Its highly difficult to guarantee the chances of visa without knowing/ understanding on what grounds u were rejected in the first place. If the BDHC believes u have submitted fraudulent documents, it would be almost impossible to change their mind set, unless u do it right this time.

Hi,
[b]The BDHC will always retain the original approval letter when the visa is denied[/b]. I dont think anyone can help u if u have not even retained a xerox copy. Anyways, try contacting ur local VFS, and request them to get u a copy of the approval.

Hi,
So far as get the requisite points in ur earnings, it shold not be a problem.

Hi, hsmp_india_2008, In your case there is no need to show too much funds as u already have a confirmed job offer. If your employment contract mentiones that accomodation will be provide by the company that should be enough proof. Otherwise get details from the company regarding their guest house or...

Hi,
If u can explicitly explain the source of these funds, this amount is more than enough for 2 people. There is no need to take a furhter loan.
