Dependants of Tier 1 while application is in progress

[sakaysar]

Hello everyone,

I am in a tricky situation and need some expert advice. I have applied for Tier 1 (Entrepreur) in Jan 2013 while my Tier 4 visa was still valid until oct 2013. I am still waiting for a response on my entrepreneur application.

The tricky situation is that I didn't apply my 2 dependants application at the same time because they had to travel and now as my current leave to remain is about to expire so is their's. I am not sure if I will recieve a response before the expiry of my tier 4 leave to remain. I really don't know what to do in this situation. Whether I can send my dependants application now to be attached with my application. Or I have to wait until my case is decided.

I hope to hear from the honourable members with experience soon.

Regards

If they are in the UK, then I think that they may make their own PBS dependant applications before their leave expires. Request that their applications are considered after yours is decided.

Hello vinny,

Thankyou for your response. I was wondering what are the rules regarding this matter. My dependant are in UK and If I send their application and request it to be attached with mine & decided accordingly then which fee will apply to them. The seprate application fee or joint application fee. Sounds more complicated now? it is indeed.

Also would I have to show maintainence for all of us or only dependants this time?

Thanks

You should submit your dependants application before their current visa expires as not doing so will make them to be classed as having ''overstayed'' and this will have a devastating effect on their future application as they will be automatically refused if they overstayed by more than 28days.

Their application will also be classed as separate as they will be submitting after your own application have been submitted, so they will have to pay the fee for separate application.

But make sure you put your case reference no on the envelope of their application to make it easy for the caseworker to include their application in your file, but their application will only be considered after yours has being determine as their visa is dependent on you.
