You need to provide salary slips(does not matter if its for a month)/ original offer letter, proof that you have arranged enough acoo. for both of you.hsmphsmp wrote:I am presently in UK on HSMP visa working in a company. I need to get visa for my wife. Few questions on that.
1. Is a bank balance of 2500 pounds is enough? This is in Indian bank.
2. Is it manadatory for me to produce 3 months pay slips and 3 months bank statements of the UK company I am working for and UK bank where the salary is deposited? If so I need to wait for 2 more months before I apply.
3. The new rule tioer 1 is to maintain 800pounds for a period of 3 months prior to application. Does this apply for getting dependant visa for my wife? I am not in tier 1 yet.
4. Can I show sponsor letter, bank statements for my wife? My wife with her father in joint account has 3 lakhs of fixed deposit. Can I show this is liquid funds for getting visa for my wife?
Your answers are much appreciated. I am eagery awaiting.
Thanks.
can anybody from India, who had taken Dependant Visa for thier wife , please answer thishari15 wrote:Hi,
I need some advice on getting dependant visa to my future wife. I am in UK in hsmp
When I read british high commission site it says that we cannot put Mehndi (red colour decoration) in hands before taking biometric scans for Visa.
But its a normal procedure in India to have mehndi during marriage. and It may take amost 2 weeks for it to fade off
I am going to India only for 2 weeks for marriage. And anyway I can apply for Visa to my wife only after marriage date. I need to get dependant Visa for my wife after that so that we both can return to UK at same time
My questions are
1. Will putting mehndi in hand will obstruct the girl from applying for dependant Visa? (for biometric scans)
2. Normally how many days will it take for Spouce visa processing in India? I know that it will vary for each person depending on circumstance, But I just need the average time usually use to take if there is no special issues. is it above or below 2 weeks?
Many thanks
Yes. it will. when i went to the visa centre at bangalore, they asked an applicant to come back next week as the mehndi hadn't faded off. You'll need to postpone the visa application. Biometrics is mandatory from dec 07.hari15 wrote:Hi,

I think dependent visa takes approx a week's time. as there is no integra or other checks done before the british embassy processes the visa.hari15 wrote: 2.

hsmp89 wrote:Hi HSMP-HSMP,
I have few questions on HSMP-Dependent Visa.
Am basically from Karnataka. Got my HSMP stamp valid from 7th Nov 2007.
And I landed into UK on 17th jan 2008 alone.
On 3rd March 2008, I got a permanent job role with a reputed company in UK.
So this March is going to be my first salry month.
Now I am planning to bring my Wife and 1 year old daughter to UK on HSMP-Dependent Visa.
Please suggest me the Mandatory and Optional document required.
Few questions below:
1> I can get a letter from my current employer in UK saying, that i am working as a permanent employee with the organisation [Here in UK, my salary is 50000 GBP per anum]. will this letter help me out in processing dependent visa easier?
2> Is UK salary slip is mandatory. If yes minimum how many months salary slips are required.
3> As this is the first month of my job, do i need to show minimum bank balance in UK account? Could you please suggest the minimum amount(liquid fund) i should show in safer site. By the way, I have 2 sites of worth INR 17 Lakhs on my name. I can produce the sale deep copy with the dependent application.
4> Regarding accomodation I took a tenancy agreement for 6 months from landlord in UK. It is of shared house, where i have separate one room where myself,my wife and my child[1 year old] can stay since the room is big enough. Utility bill is included in rent so i wont get any utility bills in my name.
Is this accomodation agreement is Ok for Dependent visa?
As I am away from my spouse and kid. and I wish to bring them to UK asap.
Please help me by answering above 3 question.
Also please let me know the enquery telephone number of VFS-chennai. Tips are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Warm Regards,
HSMP-Holder
UK.

i think u will have problems getting visa when u show shared accomodation, that too only 1 room. get proper accomodation for family and then only apply for dependent visa. but since u have already got tenancy agreement for 6m u might end up losing money now on the shared accomodation unless ur landlord is helpful in this matter.hsmp89 wrote:Now I am planning to bring my Wife and 1 year old daughter to UK on HSMP-Dependent Visa.

I've waited for a months salary slip, before applying for wife's visa.2> Is UK salary slip is mandatory. If yes minimum how many months salary slips are required.
It would be better showing as much as possible in your account.

You can provide dimensions of room/(can provided photo as well) to prove that, it is sufficient accomodation for all of you.4> Regarding accomodation I took a tenancy agreement for 6 months from landlord in UK.
