Where is your to-be wife at the moment? If she is in Pak, obviously she has to apply for a visa there. If she is in the UK, what visa is she on?

Does not apply for dependents.

Search this forum for approx visa processing time. They may be higher than normal in Pak.

Depends on whether you are already in UK for more than 12 months or not. If in UK for more than 12 months, you need to show 533. Else you need to show 800 for your dependent.

Since you are already in UK, you do not need to show anything for yourself. Its only your wife applying so you need to show for her.

If you one HSMP u will neeed these things

1- You bank Statment for last three months with maintence requirment of 533 for your dependant if you are in this country for one year or more.

2- one written tenancy contract on your name.

3- two proof of ids with address like Credit card statment.

4- Your future wife's Ieltis ( that i am not sure) but for safety.

I am not sure whether '4' is required for Tier 1 dependent at this stage. It would however, be required for ILR and citizenship at a later stage.

The previous visas, except if you have Work Permit, do not count towards HSMP /Tier 1 ILR. However, you might be able to apply for ILR on the basis of long term residnce i.e. 10 years, if (1) you have legimately stayed here for 10 years without any break in the visa period (2) the long term path hasn't been discontinued by then.

I can only tell you a few if you invite us all to your marriage or bring us the biryani here.
(1) Copies of your passport and Visa
(2) Home contract, enought bedrooms to accomodate your family. If just you and wife only one bedroom should be enough.
(3) Bank statements showing maintenance funds.
(4) Utilities bills in your name.
and the usual stuff
(5) Marriage cerificate / Nikah nama

This is all I can thiink of now. There might be some experts who could guide you any further.

Good luck and don't forget the biryani...
