I think VAF 10 is the right form for dependant

and search the forum there are lots of info for dependant application regarding the required doc..
and i think u need to add on top of your list,

employment proof( letter from employer or contract))
salary slips
marriage certificate
sponsor letter and cover letter

all my best wishes

Hi,
If ur dependant is applying from India should'nt her maintenance fund be GBP1600/?

As I ahve been in Uk for more than 12 months ie why Its GBP 533.Can some else please confirm?

I think as per guidance your right with £533 maintenance for dependant.

I have another query if im submitting my dependant application in first week of june 2009 can i submit my bank statement upto 15th may 2009 as my next statement will be due in 15th june. . I think im right but if any of you guys can confirm it will be of great help.

Ya,You should be fine as ur statement should not be older than one month when you apply

Hi,
I just called the BDHC in Chennai to confirm the maintenance funds for dependents and they clarified that it is GBP1600/- irrespective of how many years the spouse has lived in the U.K Hope this is helpful
