Dear All, Can someone please confirm if I need to fill a sponsor's letter template for applying for my dependants Tier 1 or a covering letter detailing the background, documents details is enough? If there is a template where can I get it? Secondly, how critical is it to provide wedding or family ph...
Dear All, Before I apply for my dependant's Tier 1 who are outside the UK, wanted a bit of advice. In Jan 2010, I registered myself as a Self-Employed marketing consultant and after completing a single project I started teaching at two colleges. My status at both colleges stayed as self-employed. Ho...
Dear All, My wife's name changed after marriage and her new name is shown in the new passport. Her maiden name shows on the marriage certificate. Since my name. i.e. her husband's name is mentioned on both marriage and her passport, do I still need to explain or show any evidence of her change in na...
Hello All, Can someone please confirm if the VAF10 Feb 2010 is the latest application form for the Tier 1 dependants (outside country).? UKBA is showing a form that came out on April 1 2010 but that is for extension not for the first time entry applicants. Hence the confusion. Many thanks, ps: apolo...
[quote="hsmpaspirant2008"]If you are already in the Uk it is better to show evidence of proper accomodation, there is no rules on what kind of accomodation it should be, so theoritically it should be ok. If I am missing something, i always found proper accomodation to be less expensive tha...
If I book a double room ( meant for couple with kids) for my wife and kids in a hotel for 3 weeks, is that acceptable as proof of accommodation for their Tier 1 dependants application? Am already in UK.
Dear All, I know this has been a widely discussed topic but guess some situations are different than others. As the family is still outside UK, I need to apply for their visa soon. I live in a house-share and the landlord has agreed to give me a tenancy agreement and no objection to my family stayin...
Rsatish, thanks for the reply. My family will put up with relatives for a month in UK till I can decide on the place. I perhaps sounded like asking for a false agreement but on the contrary I have read posts on the forum mentioning getting forms from the Council or even a bookshop. Hence, I assumed ...
Dear All, Am on Tier 1 General in UK but family will apply for the dependends visa from Pakistan soon. Now that the forum has convinced me that I need to show the tenancy agreement, my query is 1. How do I get a tenancy agreement for the family when my current tenancy is for my single room in a hous...
Dear all, Am in UK on Tier 1 and family still in Pakistan. In order to apply for my wife and two kids Tier 1 dependent visa, do I need to show a tenancy agreement for them? If that is the case, can I show a "post-dated" agreement so that I dont have to get a family accomodation before thei...
Is this despite the point mentioned in the guidelines that the account can be joint with one or other? Which I understood could be 2 or 3 people as long as the name of the main applicant is on the title of the account!
Dear All, Sorry to bother all again. I am in the UK on the tier 1. For my dependents, can I show funds of an account outside UK which is jointly held in this order by my Sister in law, wife and myself? The title obviously shows all the names. The account is not linked to joint signatury as it is AND...
[quote="tvn_ramesh"]You can use ur account for showing maintenance funds of 2800gbp and your wife can use her account for showing her funds but for ur kid you have to use the main applicant(Your) account to shows funds for ur kid.. or either you can show all funds in the main applicants ac...
Hello everyone, Will try to make it sound simple. I have been in UK on Tier 1 for the past four months. My dependents are in Pakistan and will need to apply for their visa now. Can I show 2,800GBP lying in my account for myself in a bank account in UAE? I used this one for my application and want to...

[quote="sasawat"]guys, need your help here. I've been living under tier 1 visa for almost 6 months already. I've been applying so many jobs, specifically engineering field, yet no replies, hopelessly. My qualification is considerable, got master degree in economics, 3 years experience in e...

Dear all, I am back on the forum after few months. Have been busy looking for the right job since Aug but still havent been lucky. I understand the UK govt. has introduced the changes for non EU job seekers which is they will only be given the jobs once the job has been advertised in the job centre ...
Hi there, I got my tier 1 last month. This might help you understand the requirement : I had a back statement for 19th March to 19th June and applied on 21st June. Its always safer to apply with the bank statement issued just few days before the application covering a 3 month period. Best of luck, [...
Hope my reply is not too late. I had the similar query once I was preparing my application and some senior members helped me out. I got my tier 1 last week and I mentioned NO they are not joining me for a year. I also had the funds limitation but I am planning to call them over once I am settled wit...
