Hi Guys,

I have started filling "PBS Dependant - Child visa" for my young daughter. Brief details:

• Father is on ILR VISA (received on 31 Aug 2018), previously on Tier 2 General

• Mother is on Tier 2 Dependent Visa valid until 22 April 2019

• the UK born daughter (6 months) is in India, for whom we are making application, so she can come back to UK

Below are some of the questions within the online application, that I am very confused about:

1. Question - The person you are joining or accompanying
- I have entered myself(father) NOT my wife details. Is it correct?
- Even if I entered my wife's details, then they are asking for her sponsor's license number and
Cos, which is not valid, so I thought it should be me(father)

2. Question - Which visa is [My Name] applying for or been granted?
- Actually, I am on ILR but there is no option for ILR so I had to select Tier 2 (General) visa

3. Question - Do you have one of these reference numbers
3.1 Home Office reference number
3.2 VAF number
3.3 GWF number
3.4 I do not have a reference number for them
- I could not find any of the reference numbers on my applications so I had to choose last option
"I do not have reference number", any suggestion where can I find any of the reference
numbers on my previous application

4. Question. - What is a sponsor licence number?
5. Question - Certificate of Sponsorship reference number
- As I am on ILR above are not valid, but still, it is asking, not sure what to enter here?

6. Question - Maintenance of funds - "You must provide documents showing that you have the required maintenance funds to cover living costs for you and any of your dependants while you are in the UK."
- This is a confusing sentence as I will be providing my fund's(fathers) details, is that correct?

7. There is no question asking about mother's visa in the application, so how they will consider the child visa same as mother's visa?

Really confused, any of your help will be highly appreciated.

Many Thanks.

Hi

I am on the same situation, but still don't have answers to the above questions.

Could you please help me on this to fill those answers if you have complete the application? Whose information should we give? Father or mother?

If father, which visa details should enter? ILR(new) or Tier 2 General (not valid)?

Please advice.

Many Thanks.

Hi there,

As per PBS Dependant policy guidance point 4 - https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... 7-2018.pdf PBS Dependant - child visa is the correct category. Unfortunately when you do online application the kind of question it asks are different.

In our case I have filled in my details (father). In the application I have added CoS and Sponsors license based on my Tier 2 visa which I held prior to ILR. And added more description in the additional comment, giving further explanation.

We will be applying next week, so let's see how it goes.

Hi

Many thanks for your advise.

Could you please confirm which website we need to use for applying online from outside UK? I came across two options
1. https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk (as per https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... .0-EXT.PDF)
2. https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... /dependant

In the first option, there is a question under 'main applicant' session 'What permission do they have to stay in the UK?' and its not a drop down section and we can enter ILR there if needed.

So I am confused whether I need to enter Tier 2 General or ILR there.
