I have applied for Tier-1 WP - i still believe u mean to say Tier1(G) visa not WP Tier2(G)in the month of April '09 and got it stamped in May '09. I had a job offer in UK that time but due to recession, it was on hold till last week and I will be joining my new employer in UK on Oct 19th.
I got married after I got my Tier-1 visa and now I want to apply for dependant visa for my wife.
There are so many confusions around getting a dependant visa. I have few simple questions on the same and hoping to get some answers from you.
1. Can I take my wife on visiting visa and apply for Tier-1 dependant visa while she is on visiting visa in UK? What are the implications by doing so?
NO, she has to go back to india to apply for Dependent visa.. see this link

2. I did not maintain any funds after I got my visa. Only 5 days ago I have deposited 1600(dependant)pounds+800(Self) pounds equivalent in my India bank account. However, my wife has fixed deposits and NSC bonds in her name which will be of worth 2500pounds. Now I am confused about when can I apply to make sure I get dependant visa for my wife? What is missing from my end to make my application successful for dependant visa?
Please read the HO Guidance for Dependents Page 8 - paragraph 42
42.If a dependant applies separately from the Tier 1 migrant, there must still be enough funds to support each member of the family. Therefore in the example above, if the family has a third child, the main applicant has been in the United Kingdom for two years and the family applies for leave to remain for the third child separately, they must provide evidence that they have an additional £533 in available funds.
i think she can use FD as maintenance funds.. pls wait for some others to confirm on this but still u shd maintain ur funds before she applies becos funds of dependents can not be used by main applicant.. but its ok viceversa..
Please help!!!!
Thank you,
Sreekanth
Thats right.. minimum Masters degree for Tier1(G)..sreekareddy wrote:Thanks a ton for your response Ramesh...
Sorry for not being clear on the type of visa. Yes, Its is Tier-1 general.
Is it true that Bachelor degree holders are not eligible to apply for Tier-1 general visa any more? As my wife is also working, I thought we will apply for her Tier-1 general visa as a primary applicant because of not having enough fund maintenance to apply dependant visa for her. I tried PB assessment in UKBA site for her and the online system didn't award any points for her education.
She can travel as a tourist to UK with you, that will not be any problem whatsoever for upto 6 months. That will give you enough time to maintain the funds in your account and for her to return to India and apply for entry as a dependant.sreekareddy wrote:I am going back to my original posting Point No.1
u meantioned that she has to go back when she applies for dependant. Does that mean that she can be thr with me in UK on visiting Visa till she applies for dependant.
Sorry for taking too much of ur time. It's just a desperation
It is not a problem.. u can travel till the visa is valid.. but to be on safe side..sreekareddy wrote:cheshiregoan/Ramesh/chandu, Thank you for your prompt reply.
My visa is valid from the month of May but I am travelling only in Oct. Will it create any issue during immigration? What questions I may be asked by the Immigration officers at the port of entry?
There usually is a letter that explains how many points you claimed and were granted under each criteria. It will be signed by the Immigration Officer who signed your application.sreekareddy wrote:All,
I got only my Passport with the Visa stamped on it. Will there be any Approval letter along with it? I did not get any.
Thank you,
