Dear All,
This webpage has indeed helped me a lot, in acquiring my Tier 2 dependent Visa.
Yes, there were mixed leads from here and there, but i'd like to narrate my experience as below.
Please note that this is applicable only for Tier 2 -> General Partner / Dependent Categories.
1. Filling in the application form
Go to
https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/ -> Select "Register an Account" -> Fill in the personal details as required.
Please note that the required visa category is Work -> Tier 2 -> General Partner, upto 2 years.
"Main applicant" is your wife / husband who is already there in the UK.
Note: Please provide all true details.. i.e, for instance, if you had experiences wherein your visa was rejected for some other countries or so, on previous ocassions; please make sure that you provide all details of the same. The visa officers could make out from your passport, whether you were denied a visa. So, please be true... (in my case, I was reject TRV visa for Canada and has mentioned the same in the application. (If we hides the same, the Visa officer does have the authority to even put up a Ban for 10 years, stating the mislead)
2. After completing the application, select the appropriate appointment time and pay USD 802 as fees. They accept all cards such as Visa, Mastercards & Maestro.
3. Documents to be submitted during the appointment.
a. Duly filled application form printout.
b. Appointment confirmation printout (not mandatory. Keep it handy, in case if the VFS official asks)
c. Passport copies of the main applicant (with front and back pages, along with the page wherein their UK visa is stamped)
d. COS letter of the main applicant (Originals are required. If not, color printouts would be sufficient)
e. Employer letter of the main applicant (Originals are required. If not, color printouts would be sufficient)
f. Tenancy agreement of the flat/ space wherein you and your partner intend to stay in the UK.
g. No Objection Letter from the Landlord stating that he/ she has no objection to accommodate you in the given flat / space. This letter shall mention the property size like no of rooms and amenities (this is to make the visa officer convinced that there is adequate space for you and your partner to stay in).
h. Bank statements for the past 3 months which shows that you have maintained 630 GBP (for one dependent) over the last 3 months. (Originals are required. If not, color printouts would be sufficient)
i. Marriage Certificate (Originals are required)
j. Wedding photographs & other photographs together.
k. Email / messenger / whatsapp / Call logs ( better to submit call logs / email screenshots, as whatsapp logs may make a book-size (in my case)
l. Copies of tickets for travel made together (not mandatory, but still could be handy)
m. Police Clearance Certificate of the person who is applying for the Visa (dependent)
n. Salary slips of the main applicant not less than 3 months prior to the application (Originals are required. If originals are not there, you may get the printouts from your employer carrying their stamp or so).
NOTE: There is no requirement of IELTS / English Language Proficiency requirement for the dependent.
Fill in all true details, submit the above documents along with the application.
I hope nothing could stop the VISA officer from granting you the Visa.
Please don't hesitate to ask, in case if any further clarifications are required.
Cheers,
Ben
