Different application routes for main applicant & dependent?

Hi there I'm going to be extending my Tier 2 (General) visa soon. Since I might have some work related travel in the new year, their preference is to get me to apply using the Premium service (they're bearing all costs of course). However, they will not be covering the costs of my wife's extension. ...

Tier 2 Dependant - Name mismatch

Hi everyone, Just a quick question. I'm planning to apply for a dependant Visa for my wife soon. I'm on Tier 2 general. On her passport her name is expanded (e.g. Anne Jones) because, of course, it specifically asks for her surname. On our marriage certificate, its just her initial instead of the fu...

Yes you would have to submit tenancy agreement, last 6 payslips, a letter of invitation, 3 months bank statements with a balance over £600 at all times, marriage certificate, copy of your passport and BRP/Visa page and employment letter. Along with this you will need a chest Xray to be done and repo...

I've got the same question actually. At the time of applying I was single (in theory!). Applied from India and got my Tier 2 general visa last week. However, I've just got married in the mean time and my visa states clearly the number of dependants as 0. So can my wife now apply straight away or do ...

Is is not obvious that it in the second statement is referring to the on-line submission (that you print this)? Oh and sorry, Just to clarify, the online form that is available on http://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/ApplyNow.aspx does not ask for any CoS or employer details which is why my initial questi...

Thanks, appreciate your response. Yes, I do understand that it does not refer to online submission and that it is to do with filling them in and adding as a supporting document. Reason I asked was because, a solicitor has been helping my employer with the whole sponsorship process and in their last ...

I think you have enough time, as I heard they were speeding things up. But if you dont hear back by mid Jan might be worth asking your company to try and push them. When they visited, they interviewed our HR for about an hour. Basically asking about company, verifying company documents, my job role ...

Hi jibri thanks. We applied in the first week of August. However, when does your visa run out? Mine runs out Jan 11, 2013 so we wrote to the UKBA and asked them to please treat it as a matter of urgency. They came into our offices early last week for an audit type thing and we received an email on W...

thanks vinny. I've heard rumours about people being refused entry just because they have leave to remain but the leave is too short. I guess I'll get a letter from my company to be on the safe side.

Hi all, I'm on a PSW visa which expires around Jan 10, 2013. Is it advisable to travel to India at this point? I've got personal commitments and plan to get back to the UK before Dec 10th after a two week holiday. I'm just wondering if I'll be questioned at immigration while leaving India and if tha...
