1. Start here for information regarding Entry Clearance Guidance on maintenance and accommodation requirements.
2. For application procedures in India and fees, see VFS website
3. Search the forum for loads of information already available regarding dependent applications.

Hi sushdmehta

Thnx,

Im bit confused with the comments there, so I would like to just confirm whether i had understood correctly or not?

I looked into the EC guidence which specifies, a couple need 1 room (more than 50 sq. feet) if you have chile below 10 Yrs. they consider half a person so for my two kids it will be 1 person and we 2 so total 3 person , for this 3 person giude says you need 2 rooms (both should be more than 50 sq, feet), The housing Act says 2 rooms considers living room and bedroom as 2 rooms provided both are more than 50 Sq. feet area. so if i rent 1 bedroom , 1 reception and 1 Spam flat then is this sufficient?

secondly whatever i understood is correct or not?

please help me with this as you already helpded me.

Please bear in mind that a child aged 1-10 years counts as only half a person. Assuming your children fall in the mentioned age group when the dependent EC application is submitted, my limited understanding of the guidance suggests that you should be fine with renting a 1 bedroom, 1 living room accommodation.

Some sort of evidence to confirm that the rooms meet the 50 sq. ft. requirement will be helpful. For example, a letter from landlord confirming the size of the rooms.
