Dependant VISA Doubt

[Raj_Rajesh]

Hi All,

I have HSMP tier 1 VISA valid till 2012 but I've completed my 5 years tenure in UK so I can apply for my ILR now. ( Before HSMP I was in WP's)

I have married an indian citizen whose having a HSMP valid till 2013.

My plan is before I apply for my ILR I wanted to convert my wife VISA status to my dependant and then both apply for ILR together.

I have couple of queries in regarding to this,

1. I am a self employed in UK for 4 years now and wanted to know the documents list to apply for my wife dependant visa ( Planning to send my wife to India)

2. Is there by any chance Home office come back and refuse the depedant VISA because she is already having the valid HSMP valid more than 2 years?

3. What would be the turn around time period if my wife goes to india and get the depedant visa and come back?

I would really appreciate if someone can answers my queries.

Cheers
Raj

There's either HSMP or Tier 1. Nothing called "HSMP Tier 1".

When did you switch from WP to HSMP/Tier 1? The date would determine whether or not your wife will be eligible for ILR at the same time as you, so let us know.

1. Answer depends on your response to query above.
2. No.
3. Anywhere between 1 week to 8+ weeks (or even more).

Please don't make multiple posts on the same topic. And, as advised earlier, please do not hijack an on-going discussion.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply and sorry for written some confusing words.

Currently I have HSMP (extended one) valid till april 2012. I was switched from WP to HSMP by April 2007 and extended the HSMP by Apr 2009.

I came down to UK by Jun 2005 so eligeble for ILR by this month.

Thanks for clearing me the two queries and really appreciate if I get the first one too.

Cheers
Raj

Assuming that you applied from HSMP approval post Nov-06 changes, your spouse will need to complete 2 years in UK as your dependent before she becomes eligible for ILR (or whatever it will be termed post "earned citizenship" changes).

To apply for EC as a dependent, she will need to use VAF10 form. Read the Tier 1 (General) dependent policy guidance for information on documentary evidence(s) required. Also, search the forum for information already available regarding document checklist for Tier 1 dependent EC applications.

Thank you very much for your replies.

Though I already explained that I am a self empoyed (IT contractor) in UK so would be good the documentation lists & Covering letter formats specifically to this nature of work ( I did the search but tunnel of views).
