Hi Alladin,

I also been same as you.You should apply for settlement-wife online application. Its not PBS.

I applied and got the dependant visa for my wife in 30 working days. Applied on Dec 24 2013 and got the visa on Feb 7th 2014. This is in hyderabad. Let me know if you need any info.Good Luck.

Hi Mathew,

I kept other relative for that option. Had no issue. You have to fill settlement-wife online application.

I dropped 24 december 2013 in hyderabad and got the dependant visa exactly after 30 working days which is feb 7th 2014.

Thanks.

VFS India is of no help. Called many number of times but every time they say just search in online for all the information. They cant help anything more than that.

Can I ask is the passport issuing authority is - Republic of India?

Thanks Very Much for your prompt responses.

Yup I meet financial requirements. The only issue am having is with the sponsor section where I am unable to select right option other than 'relative'.

Looks like it has changed in the new website. Because I cant find the options. don't know what to do here except selecting the option for 'other relative'. Also, can you please confirm do I have to fill in Appendix-2 along with the application VAF4A for settlement? Under the new website, while filli...

HI,

You are allowed to travel 180 days in every one year but for 5 years you should not exceed 180 days. You need to satify both the rules as per new rule.

Ex: in 1st year if you have travelled 180 days than you are not allowed to take any more holidays for the rest of the 4 years. Hope you got it.
