That is a very strange policy! 3 months is too short a period, most banks show online statements for 2 years. Payslips, P60,Employer letter will be considered as a single source so you do need the bank statements. Don't see any way out other than cancel the apptmt, wait for the online statements to ...

If ack letter not received, you can mention so in the cover letter and just mention the name and date of application

If it is only one dependant, the saving is £189, not worth the anxiety it could cause IMHO

How is the main applicant applying? PEO or Postal?

If PEO, reference number will be on the approval letter.

If postal, it will be on the acknowledgment letter.

1.Only one appointment is required
2. No, you cannot amend an appointment to add dependants, you can cancel and book a new appointment with the dependants. Out of curiousity, what is the use-case for this scenario?

I wouldn't be so sure. What does Clause 47 imply then?

Applying separately is a mere technicality. It seems logical that one would need sufficient funds to sustain a family as a whole in the UK, irrespective of when the individual members apply.

Dependent can show his/her own personal funds OR it can be the main applicant's bank account, either would work. So should work for you if husband's(main appilcant) account has sufficient funds for the 90 days period. There is some confusion on how much maintenance is required though. Clause 47 of t...

Thanks Manoj, that sounds right. Given that the J5/J6 for NI addresses also has a country column, I guess it is a typo. May be it was meant to be County.
