As at February it was 47,500. I'm not sure if the fee still remains the same as of today.

Thank you. I called them this morning and have booked an appointment.

Please who recently did the tb test in Lagos and how much is it? Thanks

I am applying for a tier 5 dependant visa and I'm currently putting my supporting documents together. I wish to enquire if I'm supposed to label the documents. Thanks

Hello house! Happy Sunday! I need some guidance. My husband is on a tier 5 PBS migrant visa and I intend to join him there by March. We are putting together documents for my application as a tier 5 migrant dependant(spouse). In addition to the his bank statement, utility bills, tax information, marriage certificate, pictures, letter from both parents acknowledging our marriage. What other documents should we include to better our chances as one thing I've learnt here is that it's better to overkill. We really do not want to have any loopholes lest they deny the visa application. Thanks in advance.

Hello house! Happy Sunday! I Know the bulk of information and applicants here are settlement visas but I need some guidance. My husband is on a tier 5 PBS migrant visa and I intend to join him there by March. We are putting together documents for my application as a tier 5 migrant dependant(spouse). In addition to the his bank statement, utility bills, tax information, marriage certificate, pictures, letter from both parents acknowledging our marriage.

Please house, for the a Point based system dependant visa(spouse) must the bank statement for proof of funds for maintenance be mine? Or I could use my husband's bank statement since he's the main applicant.

Read this document for clarification

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/572552/Nov_2016_Dependant_Guidance.pdf

Thank you for the document. It has clarified all my confusion. And we have all the requirements. We don't need the one year worth of payslips just a certain amount to be available to the sponsor and dependant and w have that. Thank you once again for that document. Bless!

Now your question is slightly clearer. Where does he reside?
Dependent visa is your best route. A visitors visa is more time sensitive, and does not entitle you to seek employment (not unless you have no intentions to work and dipping in and out between 4 - 6 months each time). And not forgetting that the visiting visa application might also not be granted...................

He resides in the UK. He left for the UK about 6 months ago and has been working since then. I'm kinda confused because of the fact that he has not worked there for up to a year since throughout the thread I keep seeing a year's pay slip and he wouldn't have that. So will it work against us in the application for dependant visa?

A dependent visa..if you want to stay with him, visiting visa if you want to visit and return to Nigeria.

Thank you. Please I seem to be totally lost on how to go about it. I've been to the UKVI website and I'm not really sure the requirements. What are our chances. As we will have only been married for about 2 months by the time I'm applying although we've been dating for almost 2 years with pictures and other communication prove. My bank statements is not very strong but he earns about £35000 annually. I want to stay with him.

She cannot apply for settlement visa, simply because her husband is on a visa and not a British Citizen. Let's even assume she can apply for a settlement visa, her husband does not meet the financial requirements conditions & possibly other prerequisites for settlement visa.
If he has not worked for almost a year, the wider question is, how as he been surviving?

Sorry maybe I was ambiguous. He is working, but has not worked in the uk for up to a year ie. He is in active employment but he just has not worked for up to a total of a year to have a year's worth of pay slips. He ears more than £35000 annually. I'm just confused if a dependant visa will be stressful to get and so I should apply for a visitors visa until he works for up to a year.

Good day house. I've been through this wonderful thread and I am I'm still kind of confused. My dilenma is this, my fiancé and I are planning to get married next month. He is in the UK on a tier 5 work visa. He has not worked for up to a year in the UK(so he won't have bank statement for up to a year) I'm supposed to join him next year. Which is advised? A dependent visa or a visitor's visa.

Good day house. I've been through over150 pages of this wonderful thread and I am I'm still kind of confused. A large portion of the thread seems more of settlement visa. My dilenma is this, my fiancé and I are planning to get married next month. He is in the UK on a tier 5 work visa. He has not worked for up to a year in the UK(so he won't have bank statement for up to a year) I'm supposed to join him next year. Which is advised? A dependent visa or a visitor's visa.
