Tier 1 General Dependent Child Applying from outside UK

[sajid08]

Hi All,

Our child was born here in UK in Oct, we are on Tier 1 General, we have to now travel to Pakistan and we couldn't apply for kid's Dependent visa from here due to lack of time and will do it from Pakistan, regarding online application and documents, I've few questions, would really appreciate if someone can help me here.

1. In the online application form, in the Main applicant section, my details would be mentioned, right? not the child's one.

2. In the Maintenance section, for this question "Which area of the maintenance requirement are you applying under?", should I select "Own/Main applicant funds"? or "Parent or Legal Guardian Funds"?

3. In the Medical Treatment section, it asks whether "Have you ever received medical treatment in the UK?", since she was born in UK and has visited hospitals 3 to 4 times after that, would the answer become yes because of this?

4. Does she also need to provide 'TB Test Report' with application as she's applying from Pakistan?

Thank you in advance for all your help.

We just completed our application recently (and got the visa).
1) Main applicant is the child
2) Funds are from parents
3) Medical -- This one, even we were not sure. I ticked no (If I remember, the question in the application was something like "if you've ever [b]travelled [/b]to UK for medical treatment?". Even though my daughter was born in UK, she did not "travel" to UK for medical expenses. However, towards the end of application, I added a paragraph detailing the situation and all NHS services she had received.

Thank you very much iubus2005 for replying and providing valuable information, one confusion regarding Main applicant being child, then following questions aren't really making much sense to me.

1. Are you accompanying the main applicant or joining them later?
2. How are you related to the main applicant?
3. Does the main applicant have a Certificate of Sponsorship or Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies number?
4. Is the main applicant living in the UK?
5. What permission do they have to stay in the UK?
6. What job/course of study is the main applicant doing in the UK?
7. What is the address where the main applicant works or studies?

can you please help me with what answers you gave for these? these are all in Main Applicant section.

Thanks
Syed

Go12:
We applied in US, and used the bank accounts in the USA.

Sajid08:
For the first couple questions:
1. Are you accompanying the main applicant or joining them later?
Since my kid was going to travel with me, I answered "Accompanying"
2. How are you related to the main applicant?
I answered something like "Child / Parent"

For the rest of the questions, you are the main applicant. So, the information here is about you, not your child.

Cheers,

@iubus2005,
I am not sure if in Main applicant section you have to fill child details. Child is the applicant and Main Applicant is TIER 1 General Migrant (whoever if father or mother ).

Also for accompanying and joining later section is relevant to visa rather than travelling .when the dependent child is applying at the same time as main applicant then it is accompanying or is applying separately then joining later. In UK, there is fee difference also for two scenarios.
This is not related to travelling together or not . that is a separate question in the application.

Do we need to have a TB Screening test done also for my 9 months old daughter. she has been vaccinated for TB in UK.
Is there recommended list of hospitals in India and where can it be found ?

understandable move, as application from overseas is actually half cheaper than from here

usually in PBS "main applicant" refers to the sponsor (in this case parent) but seeing as the baby is applying, it really doesnt matter what you tick. option "parent/legal guardian funds" is generally intended if funds are from baby's another parent with valid leave in the UK -- but you can't be faulted for ticking that, as you are also the parent

as for TB, well, technically there is a paper that says they shoudl not require TB clearance from those who actually live in the UK, so if the baby applied immediately after coming to Pakistan, I suggest you try to avoid enclosing TB certificate, but specifically write in cover letter -- "Child born in the UK and lived in the UK since birth, only arrived in Pakistan shortly before this application". this should be accepted. But there is some risk, because the clumsily as always worded rules actually say, as you correctly mention, that those "applying from" should produce TB certificates. so if you have time to obtain one, i always advice people to do it.

baby's birth in the NHS hospital is more so the mother's medical treatment then the baby's, but assuming they may have registered baby with the nhs, so I would put "yes" and in "other comments" write -- Child born in UK hospital, had follow-up medical exams, did not have any other specialized treatment, parents are entitled to NHS treatment"

NHS eligibility of children, by NHS rules, stems from parents' eligibility, children's individual entitlement is not usually checked

Hi Sangreva,

thanks for clarification , Much appreciate this. however, I have already filled the application with marking NO for the question is the you have received an treatment in UK.
Is there a way to change the answer now?
Also, as you have mentioned that you are authorized agent , are you based in UK or elsewhere. I need to apply for my PR next year so would be good if we cant talk. my number is 00000000000.

Thanks a lot for clarifications
Sumit

[sagareva]

no, if you already filed, then do not change anything

take the view that like i said, the birth in the nhs hospital is the treatment more so of the mother than the baby

and a few baby well-checks aren't really "treatment"

in any case, this question is rather meaningless for uk-born baby whose parents are entitled to NHS, it should not be any sort of problem

thanks,

I viewed it in the same sense, I thought it is more for people who come on dependent visa and take an expensive treatment. However, since my child is born here, it was her right to get the treatment as also I am paying lot of money to NHS.

Sumit

Thank you all for replying to this thread, it's been really helpful, I've now completed the form and submitted it, taken an appointment for 14th Jan, so please pray everything goes smoothly and we get the visa. One last question, who would be signing the application form? as they say it's mandatory and the infant cannot sign it.

Thanks
