Thank You very much Sushdmehta. Also can you please tell me this.In my son's application for PBS dependant, there is a question "is your main applicant is your sole surving parent?'. This question appears tricky for us.Kindly guide.

Does he only have one parent who is living?

Dear Greenie,
Both parents are here. My son is applying for tier 2 dependant extension along with main applicant-my wife(tier 2). I am in Tier 1 psw expiring on Jan 2013.

So the answer to the question is no.

Thank You Greenie, if we put NO to that question,since my leave to remain is very short(jan2013),will it affect my son's visa.

Since i can not switch inside UK,i have to apply as my wife's dependant later outside UK.

Well you clearly have to answer no because both parents are living. Your son will be granted leave in line with your wife.

Sorry i did not see this question,"Does the main applicant have sole responsibility for your upbringing". Please reply.

What is it about the question that you do not understand? Does your wife have sole responsibility for the upbringing of your child? One would assume not given that you are married and the child presumably lives with both of you and thus you are both responsible for his upbringing.
