Hi all,
I got my Tier-1 (G) more than a year ago, but could not move to UK due to recession impact there. Last week I finally got to travel there and got a job offer, so am planning to move there. However, I got married in the meantime, so I need to apply for the Tier-1 (G) Dependent visa for my wife.
Here are the documents that I've gathered till now that I'll be submitting:
Dependent Checklist
-------------------
1. My Wife's Passport
2. Her two photos - 45x35
3. Cover Letter
4. Fees - Rs.50,650/- DD in favor of: British Deputy High Commission, payable at Chennai
5. VAF10 form
6. My 6 months statement, IR returns 3 years, 6 months payslip : as I am her sponsor
7. My Contract of employment
8. Proof of Relationship: Marriage Certificate, Marriage Photos, Wedding Card
9. My passport + Visa photocopy
10. Accomodation Proof
Questions
1. Is there a template cover-letter available for dependent visa that I can refer to?
2. In my contract of employment - does it needs to have specific joining date from the company?
3. As I am my wife's sponsor, am submitting my bank etc details for the maintenance funds. However, I have a fixed deposit account that I have been maintaining since a year or so. It has only 1 transaction that I made while opening the FD account and has not changed since then. Can such an account with only 1 deposit transaction cause any problems? Should not, I guess.
4. VAF-10: has fields like is my wife accompyning me or not. Am still not sure on this, as I'll be applying for her visa in a week or so, but I need to join the new job urgently in a month.
5. Accomodation: am booking a hotel that I'll be providing as a proof, since I haven't relocated for good as of yet and finding a house etc there will take some time.
6. I remember that at my application time for Tier-1, I had to submit all my educational certificates, but these are not being asked for a dependent. Is that fine? or am I missing out something.
7. As rules are chaning on 6th April, is there some caveat that can affect the dependent's application
8. Finally, what is the average time I can expect for the processing for her application. I'll be applying from Hyderabad.
Really appreciate any inputs in here, also any other info/tips that I should look out for.
Thanks
