PSW Dependant Application and Timeline Blog

[bym007]

As some of you might have seen me being active here in last few days, I have now prepared my baby's PSW application documents and posting them on Monday (22/03/10).

Here is how I have sent the documents (in same order):

1. Cover Letter
2. Dependant Application Form (with an envelope of recent passport sized photos stapled to it)
3. Original Birth Certificate of the baby
4. Original bank statements from HSBC for last 3.5 months
5. Baby's Original Passport
6. Copy of my passport

Now waiting for the goodies!!

So total time Door-2-Door to get the visa stamped was 22 days in my case!

Amazingly quick for Home Office!
