Hi All,

I have to apply for naturalisation in aug 2012, My dependants (wife and kid) in India they dont have any UK visa right now, (My wife been in uk before on Tier-1 dependant visa but that has been expired when she was in India).
Planning to apply them after my BC.

Will this affect in any way for my BC.
Your comments will be appreciated.

Thanks for the link Jambo,

The only +ve point in my case looks to be - As she been here before on dependant visa?
I am planning to apply them next year is there any documents I can show to convince them.
Is there any one on the forum who has been through this, Please help me.[/b]

You can just add a note on page 13 (additional information) stating that you see the UK as your home and that your family will join you shortly. Should not be a big issue I believe.

BTW - it is the exact same visa for family of someone with ILR or BC so you don't need to wait to become BC (if this is the reason she hasn't apply yet).
