I have my wife as a dependent on the application.
1) Does she need to come with me for the application to Croydon.
2) Do I need to get any authrisation or a letter from her if she is not coming with me.
I am not applying for the ILR for our kid who is 3 and was born in Uk (his VISA also expires on 20th with us) as we are planning to apply for the British citizenship for him straight after we get an ILR
We all have an Indian Passport with Tier I visa
Thanks for looking and advice.
Sorry, can you please clarify what you mean by being helpfull. In what way is taking family helpful if their presence is not mandatory.shethjitu wrote:It is not mendetory to bring your dependents with you to PEO, but it is suggestable to bring them with you. which will be helpful for you at case processing time during your Premium service at PEO.
The wordings in the appointment confirmation are 'bring all the dependants registered in your application with you to this appointment'. No mention of mandatory or not. I am still in 2 minds whether to take my young kids or not.innocentdevil wrote:common sense. if it says not mandatory then its not.
Hi tknayak, what do you mean by will have to take dependants with you for biometrics from 29th Feb? Are you talking about ILR? So are they replacing the vignette with biometrics for ILR from Feb?tknayak wrote:As mentioned earlier, the UKBA site says to bring the dependants to the appointment. And there should not be any confusion about that. Although the FAQ in this site says not to take the dependants along, it is individual's choice whether to risk the money in case the HO finds no other way but the absence of the dependants as the cause for refusal.
I am aware of many of my friends attending the appointment without dependants and getting approval. But I would prefer to take my dependants with me. Anyways, from 29th Feb you will have to take the dependants with you for biometrics unless you do that in a post office.

Its similar case for me, I have 1 kid 2 . From the experiences posted on this forum it is OK to go alone as it is not a biometric visa( at least untill 29th feb).

My appointment is on 13th Jan. What about you? I have kind of surrendered to the fact that my family will have to come along. Guess will have to go stocked with toys and crisps, otherwise the 5 yr old and 2 yr old will create a huge ruckus. Honestly speaking, it is not too much of a deal for me, as I live just one mile away from the Solihull PEO, so the family can return once the caseworker is satisfied and willing for them to leave. The anxiety is just killing man....
Best Regards,
Imran
Thanks for confirming this. When is your appointment at Solihull? If it is before me, your actual experience of not taking family will come handy for me. I am currently on Tier 1. Started of with WP in year 1 and moved to Tier 1 in year 3. Feel free to ask more, and I will as well, as and when questions come up.wp2tier1 wrote:I just called HO and the lady confirmed that for ilr only main applicant needs to be present.
