Hi, this morning when I called VFS, they were telling the list of docs needed. In that she said Original HSMP approval letter and copy of passport pages with the valid HSMP stamp... I particularly asked is it necessary to send the Original HSMP approval letter. She said the same routine answer "...

Hello, I am unable to find VAF 10 form on VFS website...It only shows VAF 2 for Tier 1 dependent( I am on HSMP, not Tier1).. Did some one download the form from Website??Could you pl. post the link here?? Also ,did some one confirm that it is HSMP and not Tier 1 as VFS is asking for HSMP approval l...

Hi kck Have you enquired about Showing saving account statement? what they told about that? and Is the Fee is same 17000? I saw the VAF10 form it is nothing but a Truncated version of same VAF2 removing other section not related Dependants Hence I personally feel they will accept both VAF10 and VAF...

Hello Once again the confusion started. This morning I called and they said it is VAF10 you need to submit the application with. Also they told me that we need to show last 3 months bank statements with £1600 as a minimum balance. They also want last 12 months bank statements. But they said they do...

I think they made the decision of VAF10 very recently. They are saying as VAF10 just from yesterday. that VAF10 and Bank Balance issue may be a very recent decision. Somebody please caall aagain and confirm No problem hari, i will update you guys.. I think you are the people who will be applying ea...

Finally I got the line. They told as Visa fee is 17,000 (For those who are in HSMP and doesnt switched to Tier1 in extension) and Form as VAF-10 I asked again whether its VAF2 or VAF10 they again told as VAF10 anyone reconfirm this by calling VFS and confirm again pls They also added that Bank bala...

Hi, I am a HSMP holder, working in UK. I am planning to apply for my wife's dependent visa.

Thanks Vikram Hell...

Will post how it went through...

cheers good luck

I think its not for HSMP dependant. it should be Rs.17000 (PBS Tier 1 transitional fee for holder of HSMP approval letters (India only) and their dependants ) even as per new changes. yes hari, u r right...thats what i have been told by VFS when i called after 14th April that the fees for Old HSMP ...

Hello Hari, Why cant you call VFS from UK. I called them from UK and many times they told me that for the candidates who are already on HSMP, they come under transitional arrangement. Even my situation is the same. So I think we all come under PBS Tier 1 transitional arrangement. They told me that t...

Thanks kck Your idea is best. I have appointmentment for my wife in VFS on 9th May 2 Pm, Do I need to pay the fee in Bank over there before the appointment time or do need to pay at the time of application at 2 PM? The form iss still VAF-2 no? or any change in that? again in VAF-2 form I have some ...

I am highly confused with Fee for HSMP Dependant Visa (in India). Can anybody clarify pls I am a HSMP holder working in Uk for 3+ years getting married in India by this May when I enquired VFS by mail they told it is Rs.16,000 but when my father went to take Bankers check in Standard Charted Bank t...

ashishashah wrote:Yes..I am in same boat..We r expecting our child soon..I had a look at VFS website..I am under HSMP, so will apply for HSMP dependent visa...
So ONLY 17000

Thats what i think....but anyone recently applied for dependent visa after 1st April 2008.....

I am in the same boat...We never tried by going to bank, but I just got a confusion by seeing the visa fee section on the vfs website... I called them and enquired and they confirmed me that it is 17000 INR only... There is no reason why we need to come under Tier 1 section as we are not holding Tie...

Dear Friends, I am on HSMP for past 1.5 years... Now I also got extension till 2011. I got married recently and she is India at the moment. In order to apply for the dependant visa, can you please tell me under which category, she will come.... As the Tier 1 got introduced now, I can see there are l...

No problem......what ever it is it might not make too much difference in Rupees even the post was dated in 2007..........as you are in UK..probably keeping couple of hundred more handy can help.........

It is not that easy for someone to go and collect the letter mate. You have to bend your back to do the things. Dont expect someone to go on your behalf and face the nasty hassle over there.. Also before you post the query pls try to search on the board. More or less most of them were answered befor...
