Tier 2 visa renewal for dependents plus new visa for newborn

[flyhigh15]

Hello,

My family and I moved into UK in June 2014 on Tier 2 visa - CoS sponsored by the same employer I am currently with. We have had addition to the family - my son born 6 months back in UK. It is time for visa renewal and new visa for my new born son.

My visa is being renewed and paid for by my employer. I need to process the following three dependent visas myself. Question - what steps must I follow and in which order - I tried to search and ask around but very confused.

1. Wife - Tier 2 dependent visa renewal required (Current Tier 2 expires on 2-June-2017)
2. Daughter - Tier 2 dependent visa renewal required (Current Tier 2 expires on 2-June-2017)
3. Son - New born in UK 6 months back. Indian passport has been obtained. New Tier 2 visa required.

Please help urgently as it's getting very stressful given the timelines.

Kind regards

You can all apply together OR you can apply in person and then apply for dependents by post or in person before their visas expire.

Thanks so much. I can apply in person if that makes it quicker.

Is this where I must go to apply for dependents?

Not sure about your link. I am going to assume your dependents are in the UK.

Don't forget that you will have to pay the £600 immigration health surcharge for each person applying.

Thank you. I have asked my company to process all the four visas together. It will cost me £677 for the visa fee + £600 for 3-years healthcare surcharge + £160 for the company facilitation fee. All of these three costs per dependent. So around £4,400 for the 3 dependents that I will have to bear myself.... perplexed how expensive the dependent visa alone is!! This is after my visa cost is being borne by the employer.

Anyway, looks like I have the direction.
