Query regarding Dependent Visa

[needinfo]

I have got my Tier 1 general Visa and I am planning to apply for dependent visa for my wife in sometime. Does my wife's passport compulsorily need to have my name added in it? Currently, my name is not added in my wife's passport and my wife's name is not added in my passport. If it is required, I'll first get my name added to my wife's passport and then apply for dependent visa.

Not required.

Thanks a lot for replying sushdmehta. I have one more query regarding the section 6.4:" Have you ever been refused a visa for any country including the UK?" of the vaf10 dependant form.

Actually few years back, I wanted to take my wife to US with me on a dependant Visa and we had applied for the US B1 visa for her. But the US consulate officer didn't grant the visa to her. The officer told us that since I was going for short term they don't see any reason for my wife to accompany me.

Now should I mention this in section 6.4 when I apply for my wife's dependant visa or not? I am thinking it is better to mention it. What do you think?

Never hide the facts!
