Hi Zimba and other seniors,

I am applying for my in next month. Due to some reason i could not apply earlier.

1) passport and photograph

2) application fees

3) nhs fees

4) application form online, print and take to application centre.

5) marriage certificate

7) TB test from IOM

8- police certificate or criminal record certificate (

9) maintainance fund £630 for dependent and £945 for sponsor (has maintenance changed)

10) tenancy agreement

11) wedding photographs, calls, chat, whatsapp calls, skype calls etc

I have tenancy agreement but not survey report, what is difference between both. ==> Survey report is generally if you have bought the property. Not sure what it is in this context.

Do I need to submit any business accounts or my salaries per anum (p60 etc)? ==> No

My company and home address is same...so obviously tenancy agreement is on same address..Will it make any problem? ==> No

thanks for your time and waiting for valuable suggestions.

Hi Marcnath, Zimba, Aman90, moderators, seniors and juniors,

Hope you all are at best of your health.

I have recently applied for my ILR in the 1st week of April 2019 and attended Sopra Steria at end of same month.

Now I am gathering documents for my Wife Visa (she is currently on Tier 1 Entrepreneur Dependent route since 11 months and her visa expires in 1st week of June 2019).

In Short, I am making Tier 1 Entrepreneur Dependent extension application for her and have gathered following documents as checklist:


Dependent Personal Documents (all to be uploaded in Proof of Application Section)

1) Application Form online
2) IHS Payment £1200
3) Cover Letter from her.
4)Current Passport
5) BRP card ( expiring 1st week of June)

Maintainance Funds (to be uploaded in Finances section:

1) 90 days bank statement of mine.

Cohabition Documents (where to upload, which section):

1) NHS Registration
2) Newham Council Voting Registeration
3) Natwest Bank Statement hers personal
4) Tenancy Agreement (it just have my name on it, not my wife).
5) Revolut Bank Statement (online bank)
6) Natwest Welcome Letter
7) Payslips and employer letter
8) other letters.
9) Marriage Certificate

Residence in UK:

1) BRP of her

Do i need to put my all passports as well here?

Proof of identity/ Travel History:

1) Her passport with sticker visa with exit and entry dates.

Sponsors/ Employment:

1) My Current Passport
2) My current BRP
3) Cover Letter from me.

Do i need to upload business documents like accounts etc?

Do i need to include my acknowledgement, sopra Steria appointment letter in Sponsors section?

Please suggest, am i missing anything?

Thanks

PBS Dependant visa extension should be straightforward.

Travel documents, maintenance funds, IHS and that should be it.

Why are you providing all the rest ?

Thanks Marcnath,

So you mean to say that we dont need to provide tenancy agreement and cohabition documents?

You need those for ILR, not for a dependant visa extension.

Hi Marcnath.

Yesterday i filled online application form for my wife as PBS Tier 1 Dependent. All went good but IHS is just showing £200.

My wife 1st visa was issued in May 2018, she came uk 1st time (entry clearance) in June 2018. Visa ending 1st week of June 2019.

IHS page asked me person/partner you are joining details during IHS payment page and inserted my details and selected my visa ategory Tier 1 Entrepreneur Extension - 2 years

Now when I try to do again, its skipping every page and direct me to pay £200.

As far as i know, she is supposed to pay £1200 for 3 years application but it is showing £200.



Anyone has experienced same situation?

It is because you have put your current visa expiry date.

Presumably you have not got ILR as yet??

I did insert visa expiry date because it asked for it..
Expiry is same as my wife i.e. 1st week of june.

I have not got ILR yet.

How to reset this IHS payment. It is just saying "Pay" option. No option to go back.

Any solution?

Not sure you can change it now. You could pay it separately on the IHS website or wait for HO to contact you to pay.

Her application will fail if your ILR fails. If you are still waiting for ILR, her application will simply be put on hold and it would be prudent to ask HO to do this pending your ILR.

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone applied for dependent as PBS Tier 1 Entrepreneur Dependent inside UK while main applicant ILR decision is awaiting decision?

Main reason to ask this question is that, does Caseworker hold dpendent application till main applicant decison arrive?

In few cases, the case worker refuse the case because its thier discretion to hold application or not.

Has anyone encountered refusal of dependent while thier ILR awaiting decision?

Thanks

Please advise.

New ID should make no difference as you’ll add ur details and the result will be the same.

and what visa category to select for main applicant during IHS payment and visa expiry date to solve the issue?

You are still on tier1 till a decision on ILR is taken

and pay exact amount IHS £1200 for 3 years extension?

Just pay whatever it’s asking for now.
Write a cover letter for the attention of case worker abt ur pending ILR application and that ur wife’s application should be held till ur app is decided. Also mention you could only pay £200 and you’d be happy to pay the rest on request.

Thanks

You should stick to ur own thread instead of tagging on someone’s else’s post.
You should apply immediately for PBS Dependant visa from wherever ur based. Nothing to do with you being in UK.

Thanks Aman90 for your reply in the matter. I got your point to pay £200 which is not amending at all.

But really I am very confused that they may give her just 6 months visa (normally IHS £400 per year) rather than 3 years ( if caseworker dont ask for additional IHS fees of £1000) if my ILR gets approved.

What do u say?

And also I have come to know from few solicitor that its discretion of caseworker to hold application till your decision arrive and may not?

And that’s why u and your wife are writing a cover letter to support the application.
She has to apply before her current visa expires.
She will be granted a visa in line with you.

Thanks Aman90.

A just used IHS Calculator to check, and it displayed correct £1200 for 3 years but it did not ask main applicant (mine) details and neither asked any visa expiry of wife nor mine.

You are right just pay this and write cover letter.

Even if I fill again new application, its going to be same issue.

That’s because the calculator is for everyone.

The IHS calculator page also states

“You’ll get an email from UK Visas and Immigration if you do not pay the surcharge (or do not pay enough) as part of your visa or immigration application”
https://www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigrati ... w-much-pay

Also
https://www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigrati ... cation/pay
But for postal applications which clearly you aren’t. You could pay the balance of the surcharge via this route and add the necessary details to the cover letter.

Actually because the latter link won’t work out as you’ll still have to give details of main applicants visa expiry date and the end result will be the same as in the online application.
