Just wanted to share my family's visa timelines: Application submitted on July 12, 2010 Text for processing came on July 14, 2010 Passports with visa stamp received August 4, 2010 I must add here that it does seem very quick ( approx. 14 working days) but my wife had visited UK on a2 yr visit visa f...
Yes dependants can apply for their visa anytime as long as you can show the evidence of maintenance funds. This is a very common practice where applicants mention "NO" in the application and later apply for their dependants soon after getting their own visa.
Get your own passport copy and visa page attested by a solicitor in UK. And send your nikahnama( Urdu) along with the English translated one. Good luck. [quote="furqansiddiqui"]I am on Tier 1 (General) Visa Please guide me I am going to apply my Wife Visa, She is in Pakistan(Karachi). The ...
I also came to UK last year from Dubai where I was working then. My family later applied from Pakistan, however if your family's Dubai residency visa is still valid then you can apply from Dubai. You must confirm this from Abu Dhabi VFS who not only process much faster than Dubai but are also quite ...
Am I the only one who thinks this forum for VAC Karachi timelines has become more of a place for asking irrelevant questions, unending thank yous narration of whole telephone conversations with visa staff and wishing prayers for each other. Would request all to keep it to the point as many like myse...
Dear All, I followed this topic and hence I wanted to share with what I learnt from UKBA officer in London over the phone today. He told me that part-time study is permitted on Tier 1 (G) provided you continue being economically active. Their definition of part-time study is less than 20 hours a wee...
Ask your bank if the statement will show both names on each page or each month for the period you want to show the funds for. I believe, if the names are consistent on the statement for each month then you shouldn't worry.
1. It needs to be submitted along with the application. 2. Gerry's will give you the info on the hospital and the appointment from that hospital in Islamabad can be taken over the phone. My wife had to spend few hours on the day of appointment before her turn came so keep that in mind. The test is v...
Yes, this should be fine provided your wife shows the date of arrival to UK AFTER the start of the tenancy of your flat. For e.g I got the contract starting 20th July and my family will show Aug 1 as their expected date of arrival.
Most solicitors do the documents attestation. No grade required. Ask a couple of the solicitors and they should be able to help. Make sure the stamp has the solicitor's name and the date of signing the document. Costs 3 to 5 pounds a page. Regarding the tenancy, although I am also renting a room in ...
Hello, I have just completed my documents for my wife applying from Islamabad. Your list seems to be complete, however please note: 1. When you send copy of your passport, have that attested by a lawyer in UK. Attest all relevant pages on the passport. 2. Have the marriage certificate in Urdu also e...
Applying for my dependants Tier 1 visa outside UK.
My question is would an original birth certificate with the hospital's stamp and the doctor's stamp and signature be enough or does it need to be notarized. ?
Hello, I had a protector when I was working in Dubai and was asked by PIA Islamabad every time I travelled to Pakistan. Once I changed my jobs in Dubai, I didnt know that protector is linked to the employer hence was stopped by the Passport Control since they wanted me to have a new Protector. I got...
Yes, you can apply for yourself first and once you get the Tier 1, you can apply for your dependants right after that or after you arrive to the UK. There is no time bar on when can your dependants apply for the visa. Good Luck. [quote="yggdrasil"]I am looking to apply for Tier 1 General f...
This is definitely worth considering. However, would this rule also apply for those who got their Tier 1 before April 6? I don't see UKBA having different criteria when the extension is due? [quote="aliq09"][quote="adityak77"]whats next after 2 yrs when extending the tier -1 visa...
When the main applicant has been in the UK for less than a year, the maintenance funds requirement for dependants visa is 800 + 1600. I know the query was different ( and 4000 is enough ) but wanted to put the right amount here so other readers don't get confused. [quote="kunze"]main appli...
Hi, this sounds quite annoying and illogical. Are those in Pakistan refusing to accept the application if such documents are not provided? My wife and kids will also be applying by early July from Islamabad. [quote="mbasmart"]My wife has taken appointment (at the visa application center, I...
I just wonder why has the accommodation requirement for having the dependants join later not been made clear as mandatory or not either in the application form or in the immigration rules. This is still a grey area and many applicants who want to play safe like me have to spend time and money to get...
If I could just add that along with the English translated Marriage Certificate, we do need to submit the original one even if it is in Urdu. thanks. [quote="saminkhan"]I have sumbitted the following Passport Photos Sponsor letter from me Covering letter from my wife Payslips for six month...
Dear All, I teach as a part-time Lecturer at two colleges in London. In order to apply for my dependants' Tier 1 G visa, do I need to submit the contracts, invoices and payslips for both jobs? Or can I just submit a contract for one and mention in the "Additional Information" that I work a...
This is one requirement which as per my careful analysis and research through different people is NOT mandatory but good to have. I waited for 4 months before I could afford a house and then call my family over. I have not applied yet but will do so once I finalize the house next week. I don't know ...
