Address proof needed for Tier 2 Dependent application

Good Day,

I hope you guys can assist me wit the following questions.

I am currently on a Tier 2 General Visa expiring in 2024.

I am bringing my wife and child over as dependents.

I will be applying for their visas end of September and they will fly 10 December if all goes well.

So my questions:

1. What is the earliest you can start the visa process?
2. Regarding the maintenance I m already in the UK and my COS stated Y for funds.There is no letter stating that its for family etc although it does say "Tick to certify maintenance for migrant (and dependants, if applicable): Y .Do i still need to show bank statements as i m already here and they are traveling afterwards?

Thanks

1. What is the earliest you can start the visa process?

3 months before intended date of travel. Remember that she will only get a 30 day visa vignette initially.

2. Regarding the maintenance I m already in the UK and my COS stated Y for funds.There is no letter stating that its for family etc although it does say "Tick to certify maintenance for migrant (and dependants, if applicable): Y .Do i still need to show bank statements as i m already here and they are traveling afterwards?

Clarify with your sponsor but it should be ok.

Hi,

Thanks for you reply. I ll speak to my sponsor.

1. I can start the process end of September.

Yes, but make sure you are very clear on an intended travel date as otherwise if you don't make it very clear and HO issues a visa from date of decision, it is almost £200 each to get a new visa vignette.

ok thanks sure will do intended travel date is 15 December and i have dated this on a proforma visa application.

Hi Stompel84, I have the same question regarding dependents maintenance. I have a similar Y mentioned on COS. Do let me know what your sponsorer has to say

Ok sure Jaydeepkk i have just emailed my sponsor.

I will let you know what they say.

I have had word from my Sponsor.

"Tick to certify maintenance for migrant (and dependants, if applicable): Y

The above is only applicable if your family entered with you ,if they are coming afterwards you will need to proof your maintenance with the bank statements etc.

Okie.. Thanks for confrming that.. Did you check if online bank statements are accepeted or do you need to provided a statement generated at the branch?

I believe an original or stamped at the branch.

There is a few requirements if its not original.

ou can find that on the home office website.
