wife visa application fee?

[smkhawaja]

Hello Dear,

I am living here in Guildford, UK. I am going to get married in my native country, Pakistan and then probably I would have to submit my wife's as dependent visa application from there in Pakistan.

Basically I came here in UK on HSMP status in Oct 2007 then I got extension in Tier-1(general) now upto July 2012. I need to ask few quick questions and i would really appreciate if someone could reply me.

As mentioned in the following link

What supporting documents should my dependants include with their application?

Your dependants should include all the documents necessary to show that they qualify for entry to the UK as your dependant. If they do not, we may refuse their application.

As a guide, your dependants should include:

evidence of their relationship to you;
evidence that there is £1600 (or £533 if you have been in the UK for more than 12 months) for each dependant, in your or their personal bank account for maintenance, and that the money has been there for at least 3 months prior to the date they make their application; and
a copy of the pages from your passport/travel document showing your permission to stay, if you are already in the UK.


1. So would I have to maintain £533 for dependent? what I have to maintain as a whole for two of us? £533 * 2 or it would be £533 + £800?

2. Secondly, what would be the application fee? As mentioned in the same following link

What fee will my dependants pay?

They will pay the same fee as you. This will be either at the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme rate or Tier 1 (General) Migrant rate depending on the scheme under which you entered the United Kingdom.


As I entered in UK on HSMP so would I have to pay £215 as mentioned in the following link for HSMP entry in UK or £675?
