Hi, My husband is in UK on Tier1 visa. I am in India and want to apply for Tier1 dependent visa (from India) and then join him in UK. I saw the latest application forms on UKBA site.

You can show the same account, but not the same funds. If you show 2800 GBP in may june and july in account A for yourself, and then show same 2800 GBP in aug, sep, oct in account A for your dependents, this would be equivalent to using deception, and would be easily caught. To be more specific, if ...
Common sense says that, if you show GBP 100 as maintenance funds for you, then you cannot show the same GBP 100 for your dependents. Same applies to dependents: if you show GBP 100 for your wife, you cannot show the same GBP 100 for your kid (if you have any). E.g. Account A has balance GBP 2800. Yo...
1. Whose Date of Birth, Place of Birth & Country of Birth is to be mentioned here? Should the DOB be for the main applicant and the rest for the dependant? Or should it all be for the main applicant? Or should it all be for the dependant?? The wordings are a bit unclear and there is no clear in...
In theory, I am on your side, as I agree that GBP 1800 is too much for a family of 3 , but if you want to see the rationale behind the fees, you can read through the following link: http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/aboutus/consultations/closedconsultations/newchargingregime/ I...

1. Will the employment gap of 19 days create problem while claiming the points for my last 12 consecutive months earnings. No. Read paragraph 82 of Tier 1 policy guidance. For 2 and 3, I understand your dilemma. I have no idea on the stance taken by UKBA on claiming only Indian Salary in Oct 2007. ...
I got both the email addresses from this link only. Should be fine then yeah ? If you had a negative experience with them, please share.

Hi, Thanks for the link. The form is indeed having 65 pages. Just one minor question: Has any preference been mentioned with regard to double-sided or single sided copy of the application form? My question might look very stupid, but getting a bit nervous, hence confirming before submitting the app...
Your bank statement for maintenance funds should not be older than 7 days. As suggested elsewhere, take 1-2 hours spare time and please read Tier 1 guidance notes very carefully. You can search the forum for knowing how people are managing to get " less than 7 days old " statement from uk ...
