baby born in the UK- required documents for dependent visa?

[cliftonianbristol]

Hello

I posted this on T1 forum, but couldn't get a response. So I am posting it here as well:



I am on Tier 1.

I am expecting a baby and it turns out we may need to travel internationally for work 5-6 weeks after his expected date of birth.

In this case, I will need to apply for T1 dependent visa for him.
The difficulty is that I have so little time to take care of it all.
First, what documents do I need?
- Particularly, do I need baby's passport? ((It takes some time to get his passport.))
- Do I need to send along my passport? (( If I do, we cannot travel obviously if the procedure takes time.))
- Do you have any idea how long it takes by post? (( The official 8-week limit sounds pretty long. ))
- Is it possible to have a priority application for dependent-only applications? If so, how much?

There is so much information online and in this forum, and I understand that the regulations and fees change all the time. So I am pretty confused. Any help is much appreciated.

If you do not hold a Tier 2 Dependent visa, then it is not relevant to post your question in this sub forum.

You also don't state in either of your posts which category of Tier 1 visa you hold.

Please continue in your other topic and clarify category please.
