abykoshy wrote:My wife is applying as the primary applicant. And I would be applying as a dependent. We are both applying from outside the UK. I would prefer to travel initially to UK and search for a job. And then later bring my family. Is there any restrictions by law in doing it like this ? Has anyone done a similar thing ?
There is no such rule, we can find anywhere in UKBA' documents.nksg wrote:For the first travel, dependents cannot travel alone..
Someone posted pretty recently that his dependents entered UK before the main applicant. Will look for the thread ant point out.gotcha wrote:There is no such rule, we can find anywhere in UKBA' documents.nksg wrote:For the first travel, dependents cannot travel alone..
But, It's logical to think that dependent must make first entry with or after main applicant.
There was huge discussion on this topic in past. It's hard to belive that IO will let dependent in, knowing that main applicant has yet to settle in UK.push_hsmp wrote:Someone posted pretty recently that his dependents entered UK before the main applicant.

This has been a hugely debated topic with no final agreement. See this. To be on the safer side send an email to UKBA and confirm.myTier1 wrote:Can any one help me in getting the link for the previous discussion ? OR any one travel to UK without the main applicant first entry ?
