Thanks Ramesh,

This forum is very helpful.I will go through the details.

I have 2 dependents(spouse+ 4 years old kid ) I hope i need to pay one fee only (£395) application fee for my kid is not required.
do i need to send my passport along with dependent applications?

I hope it won't much time since they are planning to travel to home town.

Just wait for couple of days and your check would debted from your account. If you did not write your name on the back, then still no big worry. You would be fine...

But when I called HO it was "Awaiting Consideration" on 18-Mar-09 evening and "Under Consideration" from 19-Mar-09 till 24-Mar-09.. Not sure what they were doing with the documents??

But anyhow, all went well... Once again thanks for all your support folks

This is a typical example of the world class service they are doing....

After seeing this update I totally lost the interest to call HO..

I called them this afternoon at 4.45pm and they said my case is still "Under Consideration".

Im just going to wait now...

Awaiting further consideration

Post by xyzabcd » Thu Mar 26, 2009 10:15 am

Hi,

Today I called up Border Agency for the first time after 6 weeks of application and they told me that my application "Awaiting further consideration". What does "Awaiting further consideration" mean? Does Border Agency tells more than this when status is enquired?

Thanks in advance

I got my approval visa (Tier1) yesterday.

I am planning to apply for my dependents since i missed their applications with mine.

I have 2 dependents(spouse+ 4 years old kid ) I hope i need to pay one fee only (£395) where as application fee for my kid is not required.
do i need to send my passport along with dependent applications?

For maintenance of funds i am planning to send my bank statements?Do i need to take a latter from bank also stating that i have
enough funds from last 3 months.

Dear members,

Could you please clarify my queries?

i didn't get clear information from application form.

More Misery-

I spoke to HO late this afternoon to confirm the Tracking number I was given. They confirmed it, and I spoke to Royal mail afterwards. Royalmail confirmed that this dlivery isnt goe out with todays dispatches.

I just tracked the delivery number on royalmail's website, it says it has been DELIVERED from our COVENTRY Office. I live in Harrow, Middlesex.

What pathetic joke is goin on? I am sure no one experience anything like before?

guess u didnt mention clearly that you will fall short and kindly provide 3.5 mths extra ?

dont expect HO to calculate and help u get ur residency, u need to help urself aka DIY.

nothing can be done now, had u mentioned it, HO would have given u, now wait till end of expiry and apply again for a visa
