Is there any way to check the status of PBS dependent application status?

Hi,

I need some advice on our current Visa situation, could you please go through below details and suggest us. Many thanks in advance!!

My wife is currently on Tier 2 Dependent Visa from Aug 2015 which is valid until June 2018. I am on ILR from Nov 2017, so now my wife wants to extend her Visa for another 2 years where she will be eligible for ILR. Also my daughter was born in 2016 in India and living with grandparents in India and now we are thinking to bring her to UK. So what would be the best approach to apply her Visa. Can we apply both Mother Visa extension and daughter Visa at the same time.

Lastly, what documents my wife need while going as Tier 2 Dependent though I am on ILR.

Thanks.

She has to apply for a 3 year extension. She cannot apply for less.

Also my daughter was born in 2016 in India and living with grandparents in India and now we are thinking to bring her to UK. So what would be the best approach to apply her Visa.

Tier 2 dependent, same as spouse.

Can we apply both Mother Visa extension and daughter Visa at the same time.

Applications outside the UK are not extensions, but new entry clearance. Wife should extend within the UK and then child applies from outside the UK for entry clearance so that visa is issued in line with mother's visa.

Lastly, what documents my wife need while going as Tier 2 Dependent though I am on ILR.

Maintenance funds
Proof of subsisting relationship and cohabitation etc.

Hi CR001,

Thank you for your quick response.

Maintenance we started maintaining up-to £900 in wife's bank account.

When you say "Proof of subsisting relationship and cohabitation etc.",For cohabitation, does council bill, tenancy agreement,marriage cert would be OK? but how long from the past we have to show bills, please suggest.

Thanks.

Hi,

My wife living in UK from Aug 2015 on wards on PBS (Tier 2 Dependent) Visa and I am on ILR from 2017 which obtained through 5 year Tier 2 General route, now my wife planning to apply for another 3 years extension on PBS Dependant visa. We are using the following url https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... nt-partner to apply for extension where we have the below questions from Online application. Could someone please answer to our queries below.

1. What is the length of Mr X Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS)? (WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE and I am on ILR)
a) 3 years or less b) more than 3 years

2. Has Mr X's sponsor agreed to certify your maintenance? (We have chosen NO and keeping Bank statements)
a)YES b)NO

Also can we apply for our child who lives outside UK at the same time or we have to apply as a separate application (I think its an entry clearance so we should apply separately once we get the wife's visa? Am I right?) please confirm.

Lastly, documents we are planning to submit are as follows...please suggest if we miss anything.

1.Passport
2.BRP
3.2 Photos
4.IHS payment reference
5.Bank statements showing £630 pounds maintenance

Do I need to submit my BRP(ILR) and my passport, marriage certificate with my wife Tier 2 dependant extension application ? Please suggest.

Many thanks in advance.

As you are ILR, your wife extension will be 3 years. So you should choose (a), or you may pay more application fee and IHS surcharge.

2. Has Mr X's sponsor agreed to certify your maintenance? (We have chosen NO and keeping Bank statements) This is OK.
a)YES b)NO

Also can we apply for our child who lives outside UK at the same time or we have to apply as a separate application (I think its an entry clearance so we should apply separately once we get the wife's visa? Am I right?) please confirm. Separately. And your child cannot be over 18.

Lastly, documents we are planning to submit are as follows...please suggest if we miss anything.

1.Passport
2.BRP
3.2 Photos
4.IHS payment reference
5.Bank statements showing £630 pounds maintenance
6.Utility bills for 2 years
7.Marriage certificate
8.Husband Passport and BRP card.

Will be more than sufficient.



Many thanks in advance!!

Hi,

My wife applied for PBS dependent Visa application extension on 5th June 2018 and we haven't received any correspondence from home office on our application status. Also I tried to call the home office to know about the application status but the automated voice says only dial if the visa applied 8 weeks before. So is there any way how we can check the Visa application status.

Please let me know. Many thanks in advance for your time.

Kind regards.

No there is no way to check. You will need to wait to hear back from HO.
