visitor visa and then dependent visa for my wife

[Prakash_Jeyaprakash]

Hi There,


I have a question regarding getting my wife to uk.

I am getting married this sept, and i know i have to maintain funds to apply for dependent visa. Suppose i couldnt maintain funds due to some xyz reason

can i get my wife on a visitor visa?

Lets say i get her to uk in visitor visa after which i maintain funds for three months, then we go back to india and can i apply for dependant visa immediately? or is there any wait period that sates if she has already entered uk using visitor visa, she cannot apply for dependent for a certain period of time?

Hope i was clear in my question.
Please advice me on this.

Possible.

Thanks Vinny.
I take that 'possible' as ' it is possible to apply for dependent visa after we return back to india after three months'

[vinny]

Possible as long as you and she meet the requirements of the applications.

Hi,

It's definately possible provided you submit all relevant documents. I am on a Tier 1 but prior to moving there premanently, I wanted to take my dependants for a visit. Their visitor application was approved, visited for a month and now we're going to file for their dependant visa (from home country).

All the best mate.
