Can dependents be called later on?

sudhirkumra · Post by **sudhirkumra** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 10:39 am

Hi All,

Please help me in filling the PBS Tier 1 form & Appendix, as I am the main applicant and I am filing the Visa under PBS Tier1 first time

I have dependents, can I file Visa just for myself now by just showing the GBR 2800 as a maintenance funds for my self, and call my family later on i.e. after 12 months or this is mandatory for the married persons to file the Visa & show the maintenance funds collectively for the complete family?

Regards,
Sudhir

sudhir.. i think there is no compulsion that you shd enter with ur family.. you can apply now enter UK and once you are settled you can bring in your family later.. i did like that for my WP where my dependents joined me after 3-4months..

though i have no link information/proof for my above opinion, may be more senior boarders would provide you with relevant info..

Before that you shd do a search on this forum which might have already been replied earlier...

Goodluck

Thanks, actually in the part 5 of the form, there is a confusing question
"Is your partner accompanying you or joining you later?" in my case yes my wife will join me after 1 year, then what should be my answer?

And if "YES" can you still show your maintenance fund 2800 or you have to show it 2800+1600+..?

Hi,

But as per chennai VFS, we should write 'NO', but as per me it's misleading, becuase dependents wonna join us later, it's confusing.

Any senior member or the one who has faced & stamped the Visa in this similar situation, please help.

Sudhir

Hello Everyone,

I have also the same doubt; my wife and kid will join me later and I am confused about the maintenance fund part. I am maintaining fund only for myself 2800 pounds; the question is if they join me in the next 6 months after I reach UK, do I have to show maintenance fund for them while i apply for myself or can i just show it for myself and apply?

Home office has emailed me stating the below:

My Mail to them:

To: Public Visa Enqs
Subject: UK Tier 1 - Dependants query

Respected Sir/Madam,

I would highly appreciate if someone please could answer the below query for me.

TIER 1 (GENERAL) MIGRANT SELF- ASSESSMENT form and I see the below statement in the form.

"In order for the application to be approved you must have a minimum level of funds and score 10 points for your level of funds. If you do not score 10 points the application will be refused. You must have Â£2,800 available funds for yourself plus Â£1,600 for each dependant accompanying you or intending to join you in the United Kingdom within 12 months of your arrival in the United Kingdom."

In my case my wife and kids are planning to join me after 5 months once I get settled there. So could you please let me know what is the amount I have to fill in the section 7.1 below?

"7.1 Please calculate the amount of funds required for you and the dependants name in the Personal Details part of this application form and enter the amount here."

Do I have to save 2800 Pounds (for myself) + 3200 Pounds (wife & kid) even if I am planning to apply alone and will apply for my dependants later on?

Best Regards,

XXXXX X XXXXXX

If you are not coming with them but they are to join you in 5 months time their cost will apply now, for them to have their visas. If it is more than 6 months to 1yr then it is reasonable to process just yours for now.

Jedi001,

Does that mean if your dependants are willing to joing you on your 7th month and onward in UK you can show your maintenance fund only 2800 at the moment?
I think feedback you've got from them is not an aswer to your question about maintenance.

I think the above clearly mentions that "If it is more than 6 months to 1yr then it is reasonable to process just yours for now. "

I think the answer is clear; still I would like to know why you think it is not clear. As this is important for me I do not want to take any chances.

I got clarification from Chennia BHC which seems to be logical. The email states

"If you have lodged an application only for yourself (principal applicant), we will look for Â£2800 maintained for 3 months."

I hope things are clear now.

Jedi001 · Post by **Jedi001** » Fri Sep 26, 2008 7:06 pm

hello Amit,

Thanks for the reply and sharing the mail from Chennai BHC.

I think it looks good. I will also send an email to Chennai BHC; could you please share your question which you asked to Chennai BHC? So that I would expect a similar answer from them.

Regards

Hi,

But still we are not sure what should be the answer of the question 5.1 in the form VSF9. No or Yes???

Thanks,
Sudhir

Hi Sudhir,

Hey Jedi,

Sorry for the delay... Here the question I asked BHC

I have applied for Tier 1 (General) application on September xxx. My application reference number is xxxxx. I have not field application for my dependents along with my application.

I would like to get a clarification on question number 5.1 "Is your partner accompanying you or joining you later? If they are travelling later please provide their date of travel in Part 7." in VAF9 form. I have mentioned "Yes" in the answer and in Part 7 I mentioned that "my wife and my kid will join me in UK once I settle down over there.".

Since I am not filing the application for my dependent, I have only shown the maintainance fund of Â£2800. Now my concern is that whether my application will be rejected as I have mentioned Yes for the question number 5.1 and maintainance fund shown in only Â£2800.

As per the guidance I need to show the maintainance fund of Â£1600 per dependent in case I file their application. I will be grateful if you can clarify my doubt.

Hello Amit,

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. I guess my situation is just similar to yours as I am married and have a kid (new born on 8th sept 2008

). I am very interested on what happens to your application as my situation is just the same as yours. I am planning to apply in December (waiting for my maintenance fund), even i am also showing 2800 pounds and dependants will join me later.

I was wondering if it is possible to speak to you over the phone. I will PM you my phone number and if you could provide me your telephone number than i can call to whatever convenient you will mention.

Regards

Jedi001
