Hi Jagan, - From your document list, you pretty much seem up to date with details. Once your wife switches to 'dependent category', her clock resets for ILR time eligibility. - I don't have kids so can't comment or point out for you. - For extension, if you keep submit photocopy with your applicatio...

My spouse switched from T2(ICT) to T1(D) by going back to India.

We didn't submit any tenancy agreement. We submitted council-tax bills, not a requirement, still for two reasons - 1. to keep the case-worker happy 2. it is scrap after the month anyway.

So was the case of a friend's spouse.

Also what would happen if both get approved. Have the cake and eat it too. Not possible. How UKBA will handle the 'The racing condition' you are testing them for, I don't know. So, 'sending passport for vignette', '5-days gap in filling sponsorship' are irrelevant. What I know is - One can not have...

Yes, a tuberculosis test report from a certified hospital is a MUST document for long-term visas.

@Syed_ILR: I totally agree with you and you should write to UKBA. It does help them improve their services. Here are email id, I used in the past: UKBApublicenquiries AT ukba.gsi.gov.uk ApplyOnlineE-Support AT homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk I wrote to UKBA about speculative booking and problems with appointm...

Need your help on accommodation/overcrowding. I too have 1-bedroom flat. My wife's sister is coming to us with a friend of hers. It will make a total of 4-members for short time. For 'friend (4th person)', who is coming for 10-12 days trip, she is showing all her finances etc. Is it a MUST for her t...

Thank you z18runway.

ban.s, yes I saw the other post too and many more around. I just quoted you as one of the example which was a clear message to me.

I didn't want to say if you correct mate. sorry if it sounded otherwise to you.

There are many a conflicting versions for letter etc. e.g. check this post out Visitor visa sponsorship enquiry? ban.s mentioned that other scanned documents are fine however sponsorship letter must be original. One can interpret it as 'all documents can be scanned one', however 'letter has to be or...

Great. Thanks Z18runway. So, we do have first hand success story.

So sponsor's original is advisable and good to have (surely based on the application's merit) but this alone can not be a rejection reason.

Do you have first-hand experience (Yourself or your visitor) where you/friend provided ONLY scanned copy of sponsorship letter and got the visitor visa? NOTE: *Original docs are must for visitor himself*. Talking only about sponsor side of docs. For general visitor visa, there are many conflicting p...

Did you sort it out? I too am inclined to send the scanned copy of documents including bank statement and sponsorship letter. I too am looking to just send scanned copy and lots of previous posts confirm that scanned copies are OK if all documents are in order. Some members here suggested 'original ...

Congratulations. Well done. May be CW liked you,so she approved in 10 minutes.You must have made a real impression on her. Hey @vd_ilr, please do share your picture on the forum. We demand to know :P degree of cuteness you possess to leave impression on the lady. :lol: Kidding for sure. Congratulat...

You will be fine.
Feb is 28 days this year.

Just cross-checked in PBS(Dep) Guidance version 09/2012 - page 13.
Only the most recent statement must be dated within 31 days of the date of application

Relax! IF it is a new marriage. Relax more!!

Is a family member allowed to apply as a general visitor?
Isn't it like UKBA coming back saying you have family over here.. so more reasons for a rejection..

Thought of clearing confusion on BRP vs Passport debate while sending documents for provisional licence. Almost all friends (& the gentleman at postoffice) advised me to send passport to DVLA. Else, a rejection of provisional is imminent. However, I just sent BRP card (i.e. no passport) via spec...

to summarize above two responses,
1. One cannot move from T1(G) category to 'dependent' category within UK. You will need to apply from home country.
2. As #1, she will need be eligible only after 5 years for residency/ILR.

I hold a passport with 2013 expiry and a BRP with 2015 expiry.
Edit: and I just crossed Heathrow 5-days back.

Old or New passport are irrelevant for visa leaves of any country.
A visa vignette in old passport is valid across the world. No vignette transfer is not needed.

Cheers..

In this very forum, I have read rejection of application for kids because of no certificate. Essentially, doctor will (may) not perform a x-ray due to exposure after health check. But, you STiLL need a doctor's 'letter' saying it. Check out this forum, if you want to. Post might be in last 3-4 month...

All the questions are answered umpteen times. Also, they are vague in nature instead of some specific question. Please search this forum previous thread and you will have your answers. Put little efforts and read the policy document. It will help. www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/.../pbsdependantspolicy1....

My view is - wedding pics /invitation-card etc are mostly for 'just now' married couple caz of sham marriages etc. It is not must to have just them as evidence. If you got pics together. Call records. Chatting history etc. It shall all be fine. If large volume of printout looks stupid (e.g. chat his...

Hey Sumeet,

No offences. Asking for help is one thing, and being lazy is another.
This particular question is answered and a simple 'google' with 'those words' would have helped on forum.

Try it mate.

You should focus on fun side.. not the visa mate. So, abt appointment - 1) You can fill application right away. No problem. Fill it keeping in 'post marriage' details. 2) Your should be perfectly fine. 3) With BRP, give copy of initial visa too. 4) Residency is not a condition for dependent visa 5) ...

Any earlier posts will also help. Euphemistically, you are saying - you can not search or google the forum to find out the document yourself. :shock: This is a 3-day old thread with heading Checklist - Wife's Dependent Tier 1 General Application Form http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?p...

On this very forum, I have read in the past if there is business travel with some HR/company proof (letter specifically mentioning your history etc). It can be considered as stay.
