@Hassan: Do you have any comment/suggestion on my questions?

[luckysunny]

Bank statements need to be original.

You need a tenancy agreement or a letter from your landlord which says that your wife and child can live at the place that you are staying.

Having things which shows that the relationship between you and your wife is subsisting would help your case, like chat logs, skype logs, phone call logs etc.

I am not sure why you wouldn't want to submit birth certificates.

Have a look at these threads to see what other applicants submitted:

@ukvisat2
Regarding the pay slip. Is it mandatory to submit pay slip? Because the company where I currently work do not provide us the pay slip.
Also do I need to have my own house. I mean under my name?

I am also in a Tier 2 General.

Kind Regards
Kumar

7) bank statement needs to be original? or scanned? (Orignal)
13) do I need to attest my passport and visa copy??, if yes - form where can I attest these (colour copies, Attested by any solicitor)
14) I have pay slips in soft-copy? Do I need to send it in hard-copy (original)? (Hardcopies of either)
18) Currently, I am living in sharing house and don't have any tenancy agreement. Is it necessary to have tenancy agreement or landlord letter for dependents? (You need a property report that should say that you have appropriate space for your family on their arrival, also need the tenancy; landlord letter is beneficial but not necessary)

Hello Everyone,

I am on tier 2 general visa. My wife applied for tier 2 partner visa and today she collected her passport with the visa approved. She applied from Karachi, Pakistan

The only concern is she got a 30 days validity visa expiring 31st October 2015, however, we clearly mentioned in the application form that the intended date of travel is 9th January 2016. Now my wife cannot travel this month. What should I do? Since its UK embassy mistake?

Can anyone please help me out?

Thanks

Regards

Ahmer Mir

[iworker]

you cant apply more than 3 months in advance.
however this 30 day rule is controversial and i dont think u can do anything about it, except for applying for change of visa travel sticker, which i believe cost around £72 (?)

[ahmerrulz]

Thank you.


By the way just for everyone:

I just submitted my companys maintainence letter with the application. I didn't submit any payslips or bank statements. I don't know why people confuse the self by sending irrelevant documents because everything is clearly mentioned in the guidance. And there is nothing about payslips or bank statement if you are showing maintainace through company's letter

[ukvisat2]

@Ahmarrules: Which documents did you submit for accommodation in UK? for example tenancy agreement, property report, or landlord letter?

I didn't find any information about the above documents in policy guidance, but here most of the people are asking to submit it.

[ahmerrulz]

To: ukvisat2

Hope you are good. I didn't send any document for accommodation. Just my UK driving license copy which shows my Adress. Because when company is providing maintainence letter , you don't have to worry about anything. They don't care where you will live, they just want to see a permanent Job with tier 2 a rating sponsor and your marriage is real that's it.

I have seen people posting about so many irrelevant document like tenancy agreement.

If you have.a straight forward case don't worry about such document.

I just provided my job contract letter and family maintenance letter. No bank statement, no pay slip, no tendency agreement letter, no invitation letter etc

Thanks for your reply.

How about your passport and visa copy? Have you attested it? if yes, then from where?

What did you submit for proof of relationship? NADRA marriage certificate or orginal nikahnama (urdu with translation)?

Would it be possible to talk on phone sometime?

[ukvisat2]

I found that property report is neccessary document for tier 2 dependents (wife + child), but I didn't find anything in policy guidance. It would be great if anyone of you clear this ambiguity.

Thanks

[vinny]

Why do you think that it is necessary?

I found it in the posting, but didn't find anything in the policy guidance. Thanks for the link.
