Thanks for your replies. There is a lot of negativity in the press and Home Office about students bringing their dependents hence we think it might be better if the student applies first which might increase the chances. A visit visa application was rejected in the past which is also another factor ...

Hi Student visa application to a post graduate role for September intake from Pakistan. Can the student apply for his visa first and if successful apply for his dependents before travelling to the UK. I couldn't find anything on gov.uk website to the contrary but the university has this on their web...

I called them and i was told that it doesnt have any impact on the application

I am applying for british nationality but at the moment dont have a job. In the good character requirment section of the form, it asks about the occupation and then type of occupation. What should i fill in as there is no mention of job seeker allowance? Can i apply for natainality while on benefits...

It shouldnt. I have one of my friend who's wife came after more than a year

I was also granted an extension for 2 years in April. I wrote to the person who signed at the end of the covering letter and referred to the new policy guidelines. He called me few days later and asked me to resubmit my passport. Origina stamp was cancelled and visa was revised for 3 years.

He just asked me to send the passport directly to his attention which i did alongwith two line covering letter. As it was a typo (according to him) they just need to print another sticker and cancell the last one.

Got an email and a call from Home Office (Very unsual of them) asking me to send them the passport and they will revise the visa.

Thanks for your help guys

Thanks very much for your advise

Hi Fadi Although their policy of giving the english langauge exemption to only those guys who have their graduation equivalent to UK's graduation does not make any sense but I think it is quite clear from the notes that they wont give you any exemption from IELTS even if you have done your Ph.D. but...

Congratulations webhunter. Your company has been very useful.

Thanks siqbal. I think they are verifying your documents e.g contacting your previous employer for salary verification etc.
