There is not rule saying on who travels first.

If they have a vaild reason it shouldnt be a problem. ofcourse questions might be asked at the airport. but nothing stops them from travelling first. ASLONG as they have valid visa.

As I replied in another thread, there is no restriction for the dependent to travel alone.

What you need is enough funds to maintain yourself until the pricipal visa holder arrives and there must not have been any violations of immigration rules.

i have read some where in the forum that dependents are not allowed to travel first before the main applicant.

please get it confirmed before you plan the travel. otherwise your spouse might be rejected entry after arriving UK.

No dependant can not arrive first to the UK before the primary applicant.

And, a related query...

If I(Primary applicant) have mentioned in my application that my wife (dependant) wont be accompanying me on initial visit to the UK, but later on after getting the Visas, we travel together..

Is this allowed?.. do we risk refusal for her at the port of entry?

regards,
Mohit.

No dependant can not arrive first to the UK before the primary applicant.

that's my understanding as well. the dependent must arrive at the same time, or after, the primary applicant.

I am an HSMP dependant and I arrived here with my son before my husband although I had been in the UK for past 1 year prior to entry as HSMP dependant. I did remember that they asked me at port of entry to Uk about my spouse. I mentioned that he will be joining another plane to come to UK as both of us could not get on the same plane. That was it and my husband eventually came in one month later.

Hi Freedom,
Thanks for sharing such an vital information. That really gives some hope that dependent can travel first if they give a valid reason.......have u heard of any other reasons which people would have given and been successful. Share if anything specific they look for when the dependent arrive alone and before the principal applicant.

thanks
MM

This was discussed earlier on the forum. While I maintained the view that the dependent can travel before the main applicant, most respondents held a directly opposite view. One member even came up with an email from HO (in response to his query) which said the dependents can not enter UK prior to the main applicant. This is where we left the discussion.

All those who are planning to do so, drop an email to HO and even if you get a positive response ask your dependents to carry a printout of the email when they enter UK. If you get a negative response then that is it!!
