Read If you applied from outside the UK and Biometric residence permits: overseas applicant and sponsor informationonlyyou_2323 wrote:Hi,
Thanks to everyone for Posting their experience on this thread. It has been very helpful. I have have question, I currently on Tier 2 general issued in Jan '14 and Expiring in Feb '17, and want to bring my wife over as dependent. I am planning to go to india in November and be back by end of december with my Wife. But, from the above discussions it implies that you need to leave within a month of receiving the Visa. Am I right in thinking that ?. Or can I just apply for the Visa now and she can come over in December.
Your help will be much appreciated. Many Thanks in advance

tier2_applicant wrote:Hi everyone,
I recently, successfully applied for my wife to join me in the UK as a dependent. Just wanted to let you know how I went about it in case this can be of help to anyone in a similar situation to me.
I have been in the UK since September 2008. I started my studies and switched to post Study work in late 2009 once my masters was awarded. I did a few short term jobs till October 2010 when I found the job I liked on a full time basis. This organisation sponsored my work visa starting Jan 2012. I decided to get married in March 2014 and apply for my wife’s visa from India via VFS.
My wife is an Indian citizen, like me. She had never been to UK before. I logged her application via the VISA4UK website – which is the norm now. I entered all the required details pertaining to my visa. Also, I had to enter my wife’s details including her addressed in the past 5 years, her parent’s info etc. In the cover letter which is on the last page of the VISA4UK online application, I added a list of all the documents we were going to submit as part of my wife’s visa application.
I made the payment online to get an appointment exactly 5 days after the wedding day.
The idea was to get the marriage certificate issued in these 5 days. All other documents are pretty straightforward and were ready even before I went to India to get married.
We opted for document submission in person.
The CATEGORY was PBS TIER 2 GENERAL and TYPE was TIER 2 GENERAL PARTNER
TYPE OF VISA: PBS Tier 2 General
PURPOSE OF APPLICATION: Work
TYPE OF APPLICATION: Tier 2 General Partner
We listed the date of planned arrival in UK as 2 weeks after the wedding day - since this seemed enough for visa processing as per UKBA/VFS guidelines. In the question, How long do you intend to stay in the UK, we answered ‘As per partner visa validity’
In Maintenance section,
WHICH ARE OF MAINTENANCE ARE YOU APPLYING UNDER : OWN/MAIN APPLICANT FUNDS
WHAT EVIDENCE OF FUNDS HAVE YOU SUPPLIED : MAIN APPLICANTS/FIANCES BANK STATEMENTS AND PAYSLIPS
This is the list of documents I mentioned in the VISA4UK application cover letter and submitted on the appointment day:
I AM APPLYING TO JOIN MY PARTNER XXXX XXXX, WHO IS ON A TIER 2 GENERAL LEAVE TO REMAIN IN THE UK.
DOCUMENTS INCLUDED FOR THE APPLICATION ARE-
- MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE,
- AAA’s PROOF OF EMPLOYMENT
- AAA’s PASSPORT COPY
- AAA’S BIOMETRICS CARD COPY
- AAA’S PAYSLIPS
- AAA’S BANK STATEMENTS
- AAA’S TENANCY AGREEMENT
- AAA’S COPY OF AIR TICKETS FOR ARRIVAL IN INDIA
- COPY OF XXX’S PASSPORT PAGE SHOWING ENTRY STAMP TO INDIA FOR WEDDING
- COPY OF WEDDING INVITATION
- WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHS
- UK PRE-DEPARTURE TUBERCULOSIS DETECTION PROGRAMME MEDICAL CERTIFICATE
- APPLICANT’S PASSPORT
(please note AAA being me and not my wife)
In addition to the application and supporting documents, on the appointment day the VFS center took Biometric scans and kept all the original docs except for my passport and Biometrics card. This process took around half an hour where only my wife was permitted in the VFS visa center. She was given a receipt which she would have to submit to collect her passport and application support documents.
My wife got a call from the VFS center 3 working days (+ 2 weekend holidays) after the application was submitted that she could collect her passport and original docs. The collection took half an hour as there was a long queue for the collection service. All the original documents along with the passport were returned with the visa stamped inside the passport - the validity being same as my sponsored visa.
I think I have covered what I needed to cover about my application. Even though my case was a very straightforward one, I hope this helps someone. If anyone has any questions regarding my application, I would be happy to answer them in this thread.
rsdedays wrote:Hi,
My wife got a message today that there passport has been returned to VFS and is ready for collection tomorrow. It has been returned in 10 working days. This means they most definitely would not have been able to take the original bank statements into account as they reached the BDHC only today. Does this mean that it has been rejected? I would have expected them to at least contact us for the correct statements. Oh well, we'll have to reapply I suppose.

No, because you are not married yet and all documents incl. the marriage certificate have to be submitted within a certain time (5 days but do check, rules can change) from the date you submit the online application.jan_application wrote: I'm getting married next month (Dec 2016) and will be applying for a Tier 2 General Dependant visa for my wife in early Jan. I have a couple of questions that I couldn't find answered so far.
1. Can I submit the online application now, few weeks before my marriage? .
