VAF9 Query- marriage certificate needed if applying alone ?

vinitmenon · Post by **vinitmenon** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 6:10 pm

Hi,

I am going to apply under the Tier 1 scheme next week.
I had a doubt , I had called up VFS but they did not have a clear answer
I'm applying alone and my wife will apply as a dependent later.

So in VAF9 form

Part 5a Your Family
Is your partner accompanying you or joining you later?

I choose No , skip the details of spouse

In Part 7 , I say that my wife will be applying later.
So my question is Do I still need to provide a marriage certificate ?

I have this doubt since in the Annex C - Supporting Documents Checklist
its written

Personal Details section
â€¢ Unless single, please provide evidence of your marital status e.g. marriage or civil partnership certificate

Can someone who has applied alone please clarify ?
Do I need to provide a marriage certificate ?

My appointment date in 25th Aug.

Thanks in advance,
VM

You do not need to provide Marriage Certificate. However, do carry it along with you.

I am married and had applied alone, even then VAC asked for MC.

You mean you had to show it ? or submit it

Thanks for the quick reply

In Part 7 , I say that my wife will be applying later.

Given that is the case, I don't understand :-

Part 5a Your Family
Is your partner accompanying you or joining you later?

I choose No , skip the details of spouse

Either she is going to join you later, or she is not. Which is it?

She IS joining me later , however she is not applying with me .

I'm confused now that you pointed this out , I did call VFS call center and they told me to put No there ?

Show? VAC team only coordinates to collect the documents, they do not take any decision.
I had to submit the MC as VAC team member insisted on submitting it.

What is the harm in submitting MC?

I made the Tier1 application yesterday for myself and even I have submitted the marriage certificate.

Hi
Hope my Conversation with BHC will put an End to all doubts

My Query:
Hi
For Tier-1 General Initial Application,
I am married but not applying for my Wife at the moment. I am planning to apply later next year for my spouse.
Still do I need to submit Marriage Certificate with my Application? Or it is required only when I am making application for my spouse?
I have mentioned my current marital status as married in Application & have given the details of my wife, but no Marriage Certificate attached.

The Reply I got from BHC Chennai:
Dear Mr Mohan Rao,
Marriage certificate is not a mandatory requirement if you are applying only for yourself.
Yours Sincerely,
