skyscanner is great, Ive been using it for couple of years, it links you to other websites that you can book your flight, there you can choose which agency you want, and then redirects you to it.

Please has anyone used Skyscanner to book flight ticket before, please what is the experience and are they legit?

Hi ma'am , I tried calculating the IHS fee for a dependant coming to the UK, it keeps coming back at 0 pounds, can you help me check please, maybe I am doing something wrong
I am presently in the uk, BRB expires at 03/03/2023 , dob of dependent is 05//07/1991. I am a student presently in the uk
dduchess90:
Hello

1. £680*9*3= £18,360

2. Visa fee =£490 + your IHS is dependant on your course end date,you can use this link to calculate that:https://www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigration-application/how-much-pay

3. Perhaps if one dependant gets an early date the others can walk in and pay the fee

Cheers

Below are the links for dependant visa. They would need your CAS number to proceed. The application is pretty straightforward.

*All glory belongs to God almighty for the journey so far, through him all things are made possible*

NB: The whole journey started when MA got her visa in August and we went to registry on September 2nd, we weren’t married as at when she was applying for her visa and we’ve been dating for years and staying together, I never knew about uk student dependent not until when her visa got approved……I have always been thinking of studying in Canada and USA of which she was very in support but when she got her visa we started feeling uncomfortable about the distant involved so out of curiosity I started coming here for advice and thanks to @duchess, @gloryah, @giselle and many others who has been of help in one way or the other and makes me to believe I can do it myself of which I did and it was a successful one.
I made several mistakes though but then ukvi decision was in my favour and unto the glory of God God has really been faithful to me.

Documents submitted includes:
SOA
FAMILY PICTURES
MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE
MA’s BRP
PASSPORT
TB CERTIFICATE ( there was a typographical error’s on the input uk address and I equally stated that during my visa application)

Above all, All glories and adorations belongs to the God almighty for his faithfulness over my via application.

DuBooVay:
Yes and it's even best. So long as the fund is enough for both. If you open a mew one they may ask for the old acct main applicant used.
@DuBooVay the total funds is 14m and it’s been in there for like four months now, the main applicant already paid full tuition fee for the first year , didn’t touch the 14m , is it still okay that way? Two dependents

Oggg:
hope it is not same funds that the main applicant used? Avoid duplicating funds. Only use tht account if the initial funds covered main applicant and dependednt.
