Dear Board Members,
With regards to the above post, I would like to update my situation and seek guidance on next course of actions as I am now bit confused as to what I should do next.
I am currently on ILR (obtained via Tier-1 visa route) in UK which was granted on 21-Nov-2014. My wife is currently on Tier-1 General Partner's visa with Validity from 04/01/2013 to 13/06/2015.
Our baby boy was born on 03/03/2015 in India and we applied for Tier-1 General Dependent Child visa from Bangalore, India. The visa for my son has been granted with Visa Start date from 10/05/2015 and Visa Expiry date on 13/06/2015.
I was expecting my son to be given 3 years visa as I am on ILR, but my son has been given visa in-line with mother's visa expiry dates. May be my understanding was wrong. But the fact that we got just a month's visa having paid 94,400 INR seems just too much of cost.
So could you please let me know if my son's visas period of grant is correct or if I could challenge the decision on the period of grant?
My wife and my son are travelling to UK on the 08/06/2015. We are planning to apply for my wife's visa extension as soon as she is here as the visa will be expiring on 13/06/2015.
If I cannot challenge the decision on period of grant for my son's visa, then please suggest in which visa category I should apply? Should I apply again in tier-1 general dependent extension category? Or is there any other cost effective category that I could apply?
I will be applying for mine and my son's British Citizenship on 21-Nov-2014. I only effectively need 6 months valid visa for my son to be in UK.
