Immigration Health Surcharge for ILR dependents

Hello,

I have just received ILR.
I have also got Job of more than 30K starting from 30th of Jan 19 in UK.
My wife and kid are in India and want to call them on ILR dependent visa.
KID is 1 and half year old, Born in UK.
Me and my wife both didn't have Job since March 2018.
QUERY
Can they apply for a dependent visa
OR
do I need to wait for six months payslip and bank statement?
OR
the contract letter from the EMPLOYER, will suffice the financial requirements? As salary requirement for partner and 1 kid is around 23K.

I have been reading about this on the GOV website, but it is very confusing.

Hoping for a prompt response.

NOTE: i HAVE ALSO POSTED THE SAME POST UNDER ILR UMBRELLA. CR01 REPLY ME ON ANY OF THE POST SHALL BE FINE.

Regards,
Bandy.

In order to sponsor your wife and child, you need 6 months of payslips together with the corresponding bank statements. In addition to the visa fees they will both have to pay £1,200 Immigration Health Surcharge fee.

Thank you very much.

Hi

I received ILR in Dec 2018 based on 10 years long residence.

Now I want to call my wife and son (Born in the UK) who are in India on my dependent Visa. I have all the requirements ticked, but I'm confused on the IHS. The application form takes you to the IHS website, which does not give many options.

My wife is applying as a partner and my son is applying as a child of a parent applying for entry clearance as a partner.

Can anyone please guide me as to which option they should tick on IHS website??

What options does it give?? Note we don't have sight of the online forms and options.

Regarding paying child's IHS you might not get option because there is a glitch in system where kids gets exempted from paying it but later the sponsor receives the link by UKVI to pay it.

Hi All,

Currently, I am on ILR (got in december 2018).
I want to call my wife and my son (2 year old) to uk from india.
My wife has studied in UK and was on tier 2 dependant until Feb 2018.
My son was born in 2017 in UK and had to leave uk before i got my ILR. Now both are in India and have Indian Nationality.

I was trying to fill their application form online but it is so confusing and frustrating as if an incorrect form is filled then £5000 is wasted. And it lot of money for me.

Correct or not don't know but trying to follow the procedure mentioned as per the Link: https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/partner-spouse and https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/child

Questions.
1) What is the best way to call them as a dependant? If i am correct, and i am planning to fill family visa application form as a partner or spouse for my wife.
2) Do I need to fill separate form for my KID? as they both, will apply for a visa and will be travelling to UK at the same time.
3)If i need to fill the form separate for my kid, then will it be considered as
a) Kid will be my dependant and i will be the sponsorer for him.
or
b)He will be considered as my wifes dependant and i will become sponsorer to my wife?
4) Confusion: Website, On child's page once it is mentioned: " If you’re under 18
You can either: be added to your parent’s next application as a dependant or apply separately" which in my case will be my wifes application.
Where as if you scroll down on the same page it is mentioned:
"Apply from outside the UK
You’ll need to prepare information and documents to provide with your application.
Apply at the same time as your parent
You must apply online. You also need to complete Appendix 1, unless your parent is applying to enter the UK as the partner of:
a British citizen
someone with settled status
someone with leave to remain as a refugee
someone with humanitarian protection
If your parent is one of the above, you do not need to complete Appendix 1 as well as applying online".

5) What is settled status? Tried to google it, but it seems it only related to EU nationals. Am i correct?

6) As i am having ILR will it be automatically considered that i am having settled status?

7) Or do i have to also fill appendix 1 for my kid?

Please help!!!!

Thanks,

BDS

Thanks for replying. In that case, would the form say the applicant is exempt for being under 18 and lead applicant. My son is 2 and applying as a dependent of a parent who is applying as a partner. Regarding partners application, on the IHS form it say you have no dependents, because the details are taken from application form, which does not allow to add dependents.

I am so confused.

You need two application forms, one for each person applying and then you pay 2 x IHS fees, as far as I understand.

The child is not exempt from IHS.

Hi. Thanks for replying. I agree I need to pay IHS for both, my query is should the IHS form for my wife say you don't have any dependents. how are the 2 applications are being linked?

thanks in advance.

Hi Can someone please reply. Im stuck whether to move ahead or not. Called UKBA helpline, but they seem confused themselves

UKVI helpline team are just telephone operators perhaps employed through agency who doesn't have immigration related knowledge unless anyone of them read this board.

we have managed to submit the application and get positive result.
so, my experience says the spouse and child applications would appear completely separate and 2 different applications. The Child IHS fee would be requested towards the end of the application, and the decision is given within 5-10 working days of the payment.
Thank you everyone in this forum whose input helped us.
