Skilled Worker Visa Dependant Maintenance and Processing Time

Hi all,

I had a change of employment application which was successful and I received my BRP. Now I want to apply for the dependant visa for my wife, do I need to get a letter from my employer to confirm they support the maintenance for my wife?
Also, I heard when the dependant apply after the main applicant(not at the same time), the visa process will become much longer than usual; is that correct?

Hi,

I am not sure about this - but if you are in UK, then your wife's application will come into spouse visa category - like joining the husband in UK - that has around 24 weeks (6 months) of timeline as of now..
Keep checking gov.uk for updates on those...
So you will have to apply from different page in gov.uk where it is spouse visa.
Otherwise, if you are not in UK, then its like both of you are still applying to UKVI, then I guess it will be dependent/wife visa. Please check what exact category you (your spouse) need, and then choose that one
to apply.
Thanks,
