Hi all,
I have a lot of confusion with the way the PBS dependant form has been formatted on Home Office website.
The section H4 (page 28 ) of the form states :
H4. Has the main applicant applied to have his/her application assessed in accordance with paragraphs 39-42 of the HSMP Forum Lltd. Judicial Review Policy Document?
Yes No
Now go to question J1
Since I am on HSMP issued in March, 2007 and applying for Tier 1 (General) extension along with my wife's (dependant) application, I should be answering 'No' to this question as this Judicial review policy document applies for HSMP approval letter holders who applied before Nov 7, 2006.
Since I have answered No to this question, Next question is :
H5. Is the main applicant making an application as:
- An initial (switching) application - go to question J2
- An extension of his/her existing leave - go to Section K
- A result of a change of employment - go to Section K
Since I am applying for extending my leave, I select option 2 i.e. "An extension of his/her existing leave."
Now skipping to Section K means I skip section [b]J[/b] altogether which is the section for [b]"Maintenance"[/b] funds. And section J reads as follows:
[size=18][b]J. Maintenance[/b][/size]
[b]Dependants of Tier 1 main applicants[/b]
J1. In order for the application to be approved the dependant must have a minimum level of funds. If they do not have the required level of funds the application will be refused.
The level of funds the dependant must have access to depends on the length of time the main applicant has been in the UK. Please indicate whether the main applicant has been in the United Kingdom for:
Less than 12 months Please provide evidence of more than £1600 of available funds
12 months and over Please provide evidence of more than £533 of available funds
[b]Now go to question J3[/b]
Won't my application be rejected if I don't give the details of Maintenance funds for the dependants in the Application form? Why haven't the Home Office checked the forms before posting on their website? The April 06 forms are so confusing as the instructions for filling correct sections have not been updated according to changes made to the forms.
Can anyone please help how to go about filling this form?
thanks
