And yes of course you would try that nonsensepush_hsmp wrote:I will completely disregard the personal comments made by you. But thanks so much for providing me the much needed ammunition:
read carefully, these are guidelines for qualifying for Entry Clearance / leave to remain (as applicable) and NOT for physically entering the country (obviously not in case of LTR) i.e. getting past the IO !!To qualify for entry clearance or leave to remain as the Partner of a Tier 1 (General) Migrant, an applicant must meet the requirements listed below. If the applicant meets these requirements, entry clearance or leave to remain will be granted. If the applicant does not meet these requirements, the application will be refused.
anyways:
- ok no commentsRequirements:
(a) The applicant must not fall for refusal under the general grounds for refusal, and if applying for leave to remain, must not be an illegal entrant.
(i) the dependent is a spouse of the main applicant who has valid leave to enter in the case we have been discussing - for your benefit, let me tell you that Leave to enter is the VISA not the actual entry into the country.(b) The applicant must be the spouse or civil partner, unmarried or same-gender partner of a person who:
(i) has valid leave to enter or remain as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant, or
(ii) is, at the same time, being granted entry clearance or leave to remain as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant."
(ii) the dependent has been granted entry clearance at the same time as a tier 1 (General) Migrant - again this is true in the case being discussed!!
You are confusing between leave to enter/ EC with actually getting past the immigration gates in UK !!Meaning that in order for the IO to determine if these things are in order and to permit the dependent entry into the UK, he would need to see the main applicant or the main applicant should have already been admitted to the UK.
Got it now?

You claim to not find anything that would indicate a barrier of entry to the dependent. I have. Where is your source of info that shows it isn't a barrier. Very easy to keep shooting holes at something but if you don't find anything to support your position, then you have no right to comment on what I produce which is pretty good support to not go without your sponsor
the IO can reevaluate the authenticity of the visa and interview a person seeking entry to the UK and if he feels that any of the requirements have not been fulfilled he can still refuse entry.
Bottom Line it is not a good idea for the dependent to arrive before the main applicant. Stick to the point of the thread
YOU GOT IT NOW?
