Thanks for providing info. I am still facing trouble for my first question? Let me answer inline.
Re: -

Proof of Accommodation. (Rent/ Utility Bills/ Mortgage Paper) , applicable only in case of person residing in the UK owning the accomodation.
>>>> I am right now in India only and I will be travelling in April as my visa starts on 20th March 2009, in this case do I require any accommodation proof for dependent's application?
Re:-
*
If accomodation is rented , then a no objection from the owner.
As I am in India only I don't have any kind of accommodation available with me.
Re:-
*
If accommodation is provided by the Company , then a letter from the company is required.
I am yet to apply for the job, right now I don't have any job with me.
Re:-

You can show the maintenence fund from your bank account for your dependents
Thanks. This answers my question no 2.
Re: Applicants need to pay the visa fee at the applicaiton center where they submit their documents.
Thanks again for valuable info.
Please answer my first question as soon as possible, as it is an only blocking factor for me right now. Also, If my relative provide a permission latter stating 'he will provide initial 10 days accommodation to both of us till we find other good place for us". Will this work, if required?
Thanks,
Puruwannafly

Applicants need to pay the visa fee at the applicaiton center where they submit their documents.
It is advisable to submit your application in your respective region. Incase you want to submit your application in another region you need to give documents supporting your stay in that region in the form of either bank statement or tenancy agreement.
We hope the above information has been of help to you. If you require any further assistance please contact us. Our contact details are as given below.

Subject: Query related to tier-1 dependent visa
Hi,
I had applied for tier-1 visa on 05-jan-2009 and got the visa on 15-jan-2009 (Starts on 20-march-2009 & ends on 20-march-2012).
Now I want to apply for my wife as a dependent. I have few queries which I have mentioned below.
Questions:
1. My wife was told to provide uk accommodation detail @ vfs ahmedabad. Is this really necessary?
If yes, then what are the options for me? Please provide in the details as my visa starts on 20-March-2009.
2. I had shown my salary account bank statement when I applied for my application (more than 5000 pound). I have maintained this balance till date. Can I use this amount for her as well with latest copy of statement?
3. I have already paid fees for my wife at ahmedabad and then I decided not to put application. I was told that that fees can be used for one year. Can I apply from *vfs pune* though I had paid it in ahmedabad?
Please help me as soon as possible.
Regards,
Puruwannafly
