PSW Dependent Visa Guidance

[rehandha]

Hello,

I am Rehan Ahmed, Pakistani, living in UK since last two years.

I am currently on PSW visa and now I have to apply for my Wife visa.

I have few questions:

1) I know I have to send my Passport and visa copies, do I have to send attested copies?

2) I have to show three months bank statement of £2400. is that correct?

3) Do I have to send my Pay Slips? I just started work and there are 4 pay slips which I can send, is that OK?

4) Do I have to send Pay Slips of my part time job which I did when I was on student visa?

5) Any guidance on processing time?

Many Thanks,
Rehan

1. You just have to send copies they necessarily do not have to be attested, since your VISA is already in their system.

2. The UKBA states you just need 533 pounds for your dependent to join you for 3 months since you have been in the UK for over 12months, since many of the users in this forum suggest you keep 800 as well so 800+533=1322, you would require 2400 if you have been in the UK for less than 12 months. But I wrote to UKBA and they stated you do not have to show the 800 again

3. Payslips are not necessary, you can send if you wish since it will confirm you are already in employment

4. You dont need payslips for part time work you did on student visa

5. Depends on where you apply, All Pakistani applications are processed in Abu Dhabi, UAE now so take around 2-4 weeks check on www.ukvisas.gov.uk

6. Do send your original marriage certificate (with translation if in Urdu) plus evidence of subsiting relationship for eg phone bills, emails etc,

Well they dont ask for these personal things but they are better to be provided rather than risk the application, for eg you in the uk your parnter back home so ECO in his mind IS THIS RELATION SUBSISTING, so you have proofs of calling, etc

Pictures to confirm that wedding did actual take place and is not on paper itself.

Although there is no legal requirement of tenancy contract, the question would be can your dependent be accomodated ? so that's y you should provide copy of tenancy agreement, or temp accomodation such as hotel reservation and when he/she arrives in UK you can arrage suitable accomodation.

Thank You very much for your previous reply.

I have one more question for you, I came to know that I have to write a letter which will be a declaration that I am planning to bring my wife here in UK on PSW dependent.

Do I have to write this declaration on affidavit?

If yes, then can I ask any solicitor in UK to attest that affidavit for me?

Can I have sample text for that declaration?

Thank You.

Secondly, is it possible that I can have a checklist of all documents I require?

Many Thanks.

1. Just write a simple letter, no need of affidavit.

2. Here is the check list, just follow Dependents guide which is page 3

Hello,

I have one quick question.

My and My brother rented three rooms house in UK. We are living there since last year. The house contract is on both of our names.

The only problem is that the rent of house is taken out from my brothers account, however I pay him my contibution every month.

I am applying my wife's dependent visa and I will get accomodation letter from letting agency without any issue.

Now, do I have to mention this thing somewhere in documentation? That I pay my contribution to my brother and then the rent is taken out from his account?

Replies are highly appreciated.
