Tier 1 General Dependant visa

[cluelesss]

Hi,
I am applying for my wife visa in Nov/dec12 as a Tier 1 General dependant. But my visa expiry is in May13. Somebody told me that the main applicants visa expiry date must be more than 6 months away to apply for a dependant visa.. Is there any truth in this?. I cant find any such restriction on ukba website. I am from pakistan.

Thanks in advance.

Hi -It's not true . You can apply your wife visa any time before you visa expiry date. She will be offered with visa till the main applicant expiry date.
Provided you have all other documents in place .

Thanks Aarun. I have the same opinion.

Also does she need to fullfill english language requirement or is it not required for PBS dependant.

And does she need to do the TB screening.?

I have my own limited company, so what proof i need to send for my employment. Does a letter from accountant ok, or do i need to send dividend vouchers/salary slips as well.

I have enough maintenance funds in my account though.

Thanks

There is no such requirement. She can apply anytime before your visa expires. She will get visa until May 2013. In fact she will apply again with you for extension in April 2013.

No English requirements for her

Yes TB screening is required

Letter from accountant with your business statement would be enough but it will be better if you could include salary slips and dividend vouchers
