Dependent Visa Applied on FEB-MAR 09 from India - Timelines

[datastage152902]

Hi All,

I am due to apply for Tier 1/HSMP extension in the month of may and my visa expires on june last week(in country), my wife was with me on dependant visa until recently we have to visit india for emergency visit, my son was born in UK in november 2008 and has no visa(thought of applying visa for him during extension) and now hes in india. In order to apply for their dependant visa from india, I have the following questions:

1. Maintenance Funds:

Wife : is it £533(she was in country for more than 12 months) or £1600 for last 3 months while applying EC for her

Can you please confirm????

Son: I think its £1600 for last 3 months for him

Can you please confirm???

2. Rest of the documents as mentioned in the above post(bank statements/pay slipts/etc)

Also they will be applying after my extension, does the bank statement should show the maintenanace funds for me(i.e. £800) when my dependants apply for the visa?

your thoughts will really help me.


Regards

Thanks for all the information so far.

I plan to have a registered marriage a little before my reception and other functions so that I can sort the visa out early. A few questions here:

1. In such a case I will not have marriage photos or invitations? Is that ok?
2. Where do I get a list of required information? I’m still sorting out new accommodation in London after the expiry of my current tenancy agreement. Thus is proof of accommodation necessary?
