Hi All,
I am in the process of applying for tier 1 general dependent application from outside UK for my baby(born in the UK) and have a question. Please could someone help me out?
The baby's visa is being applied for as my dependent. I have a Tier 1 General visa valid until 11 MAY 2016. Baby plans to enter the UK in January 2016. My husband is on a Tier 2 visa which is valid until Sept 2017. Under these circumstances:
1. What should I fill in for the question for the baby's application "How long do you intend to remain in the UK". Jan 2016 to May 2016 i.e. 4 months or Jan 2016 to Sept 2017 (Father) i.e. 20 months Ref SET 7.14: If If the parents have different leave durations, it will be for the longer period.
2. If baby will be granted visa only until my visa is valid (11 May 2016), i.e. for 4 months, do we need to pay for healthcare surcharge? Or is it that since the baby's father has a longer leave to remain, baby will be granted visa until visa expiry of its father i.e. until Sept 2017? Ref SET 7.14: If If the parents have different leave durations, it will be for the longer period.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
