Aditya, my wife and I will be doing something similar from India. Do you know if the "main applicant" is allowed to accompany the dependant and enter the visa application centre?

Thanks.

silent_warrior, thank you, that is what I mean. Manka10, thank you. Presumably that will be the registration of a marriage pursuant to the Indian Special Marriage Act. The difficulty with this of course is that there is a need to have resided in India for at least 30 days before the date of the noti...

Hello All, I am a Tier 1 (General) migrant and I have been in the UK for more than 4 years. I will soon be getting married in India. My fiancée would like to apply for her Tier 1 (General) Dependant entry clearance shortly after our wedding. We will have all the necessary supporting documentation, i...

Hello People, This is on behalf of some friends of mine in South Africa. Here's the situation: there's a girl who is an Indian citizen, but was born and brought up in South Africa.

Hi,
If I am travelling to the UK on a work permit issued on February 28th, I have until August 28th to enter the country, right? Entering on August 26th shouldn't be a problem, I hope.

Thank you.

Cheers,

Anybody? Thanks.

Hi,

Great. I won't stretch it beyond 3 months. Thanks Jabi.

Thanks a lot Docterror. However, I read a few people claiming that ECOs turned down such requests for applicants applying for HSMP EC. I gather from your post that such requests are normally honoured for WP applicants.

Thanks again.

Hi, I've received my work permit, valid for 5 years. Since my assignment does not start until three months later, I was wondering if it would be alright to request the ECO to defer the effective date of the EC by 3 months. Does anyone if the ECOs in India, and Chennai in particular, honour such requ...
