 Posted: Tue Aug 28, 2012 3:30 pm Post subject: Visitor visa query |
 |
|
Hi,
I am planning to visit my brother who is staying in UK for the past 4 years.
I live in India and Visitor visa guidelines says that ..I need to provide leave approval for my current employer which I won't be able to get it.
My queries.
1.Can I still get visitor visa granted without leave approval letter from my current employer?
2.If not, can I apply visa as if I am unemployed?
3. My brother applied for permanent residency. Once he gets permanent residency, can I apply through "Family of settled persons" - Adult dependent relative?

Please post your valuable suggestions.
Thanks,
SP |

| You certainly do not need approval from your employer. |

1) The approval letter you refer to is actually just a letter from your employer confirming that you will be on annual leave during the period of your UK visit and that you will thereafter be returning to work on a given date. This is used as a means to confirm that you intend to return to your home country after your visit.
2) If you state that you are unemployed, you will need to show other form(s) of ties to your home country which will satisfy the ECO that you intend to return to your home country at the end of your visit.
3) The link you have posted is for permanent residence & not meant for someone who just intends to visit the UK on a holiday. Have you read the information posted under the section "Can you apply?"? If not please do so.
