Applying Dependents - Post Tier 1 Approval of Main Applicant

[rimjhimjain]

covering letter is not so important....my husband took the covering letter with him during application, but the VFS agent returned it...he was asked to fill a separate form at VFS which essentially acts as covering letter...

I would appreciate if anyone can advice covering letter format to be used for dependent visa and whether it should be addressed from mail applicant or dependent.

4. Maintenance Funds
As a main applicant my husband is maintaining maintenance funds for us two for the claim

As a matter of fact, we can only show 3 months bank statement, but since VFS Customer Care guys told me to put 15 months statement to be on the safer side, I put it.

Hi,

I am planning to apply dependent visa for my wife and two kids aged 2 & 4 yrs. I am currently still in india and my visa would start on March 24.

The queries are

1) Should i use VAF 10 for each of the dependents.
2) Or is there a seperate form for the children.

Any feedback would help.

Thanks

Hi All,

I got to Tier 1 Gen visa today. I need to apply for my wife and kid now. Can I use the same bank statement used for my Visa? Its less than 1 month old.

Again - Since I am yet to leave India, Can I mention that my employment details in UK are not yet available?

Please advice.

Thank you!

The border agency recommends that my husband (the applicant) and I (dependent) apply together, but it's so expensive that we're thinking of having him apply first and then submitting my application only if his is successful. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether this would affect our chances of being successful?
Thanks.
