There will not be any problems for getting your wife's visa. You have to show appropriate maintenance fund for her, along with yours, as per the guidance.sanjaywakhare wrote:Hello Friends,
I am a holder of Tier 1 General Migrant visa. I got my visa on 23rd Oct 2008. I have not traveled to UK on Tier 1 visa till now. Due to family issuse and also official commitments. However I have traveled to UK twice after 23rd OCT 2008 on Business visa.
I got engaged in Feb 2009 and got married in April 2009. Now I wish to travel to UK along with my wife and I an about to apply for my Wife;s Tier 1 Dependant visa.
My question is:: Will there be a problem in getting a visa or at the immigration (assuming I get a visa and I travel to UK) because I have not traveled for 1 year 3 months after getting my Tier 1.
Please guide me on this. I am planning to apply for visa on 12th Feb 2010.
My visa is valid till October 2011.
Please guide me friends.
(NOTE:) I do not have UK company offer letter.
Thank you
Sanjay
Business visa overrides your Tier1 visa. So I fear, you need to go for Tier1 again.sanjaywakhare wrote:However I have traveled to UK twice after 23rd OCT 2008 on Business visa.
Sanjay, I could not find link having information. But, I'm quite sure, new visa replaces existing visa. Drop an email to BHC in India to confirm this.sanjaywakhare wrote:Thanks for your reply guys.
@Gotcha: Can you please elaborate on your comment. I have had two business visa's and both of them are NOT valid now. Most recent business visa expired on 26th November 2009.
@gotcha: Thanks, Can you please provide me with BHC email address in India.gotcha wrote: Sanjay, I could not find link having information. But, I'm quite sure, new visa replaces existing visa. Drop an email to BHC in India to confirm this.
I wonder, why you needed to apply for business visa, when you could have travelled with your tier1.
Thanks for the link. I'll go thru. itsushdmehta wrote:
But as I said, best way to be sure is to get a response from BHC.

Now, that's interesting. But, wait for reply from BHC.sanjaywakhare wrote:I traveled to UK on business trip on 28th May 2009. (at that time I had two visas valid tier 1 and BV). At that time the immigration officer asked me on which visa are you traveling?
I said on business visa as I am here in the UK only for a week for business meeting and I do not intent to work.
After saying this I asked can I enter UK now on Tier 1 visa?
The officer said Get your Tier 1 visa stamped when you plan to stay in the UK. Now I am stamping your business visa.

Thanks for the Good Luck Rameshtvn_ramesh wrote:
I am sure he meant, get your Tier1 Visa stamped (by HO i.e may be apply again n get it stamped by HO)
Agree with many n vfs guys here that BV overrides any previous visa's (Tier1/Tier2)
Will be interested to see wat the email reply says.. Goodluck mate..
Earlier responses edited so as to not confuse others.ECB10.5 Applying for another visa but in a different category wrote:An applicant may hold more than one valid entry clearance, for example a regular traveller already holding a longer period multiple visit visa can be issued with a visa for another purpose. When issuing a second visa, the applicant should be advised to explain to the Immigration Officer on arrival in which capacity he/she is seeking entry to the UK.
