You must have at least £1,270 in your bank account to show you can support yourself in the UK.
You will need to have had the money available for at least 28 days in a row. Day 28 must be within 31 days of applying for this visa.

If your employer can support you instead
Your certificate of sponsorship must confirm this. Your employer will need to complete the ‘sponsor certifies maintenance’ section on your certificate. This is under ‘Additional data’.
Your partner and children must have a certain amount of money available to support themselves while they’re in the UK.

You - or your partner or child - will need:
£285 for your partner
£315 for one child
£200 for each additional child
Example
You - or your partner or child - would need to have £600 to bring your partner and one child with you to the UK (£285 for your partner and £315 for your child).

You would also need to have £1,270 available to support yourself for your own application.
Family of husband, wife and two children will need funds amounting to 1270 + 285 + 315 + 200
Other docs include english certificate, COS, TB test for each person, marriage certificate, wedding photos wtc to prove marriage is genuine and subsisting, birth certificate for each dependent child, consent letter for each dependent child signed by both parents.

@giselle237 & anyone that can help, I’m actually done with my application & submission, I would like to however know if I can be allowed into the biometric hall with my 2yr old when I go for my biometrics, mind u, she isn’t applying (US passport holder) cos there’s no one to leave her back home with. I used to know it’s only pple with appointments that have access, but as my child & underage, donno if it would be different.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by evenda: 6:40am On Mar 12, 2021
am not sure, but if your biometrics date isn't too near, why don't you email them to confirm ( contact form on tls website) they are sort of quick in replying.
I had my enquiry replied within 2 days.
Otherwise, try to sort out some1 you trust to leave your child with as an alternative if she's not allowed.

Good morning Guys, Hope we are all staying safe?

Am currently filling out a Tier 2 "Skilled worker" dependent visa for my wife. Three questions:

1. Does she need to submit here document for NARIC and if yes what is the process and documents should she get from her university in Nigeria?

2. For the TB test, can she go for the test at IOM with just her passport and proof of payment or does she need additional supporting documents?

3. Do I need to have some money saved in my account or can I just provide CoS and supporting letter from my workplace and my bank statements with payslips?

Please your helpful responses would go a long way. Thanks smiley

2. For the TB test, can she go for the test at IOM with just her passport and proof of payment or does she need additional supporting documents? Yes passport and payment proof and forms to be filled, it can be found at the IOM centres.
3. Do I need to have some money saved in my account or can I just provide CoS and supporting letter from my workplace and my bank statements with payslips?
If your employer has provided letter covering maintenance if dependents+ COS, that will do

Hello everyone, I have been a silent follower/reader for almost 7 years on this platform and it has helped me tremendously. I’ll like to share my experience, it might help others as well. I applied for my mum’s 2 years visit visa. I was her sponsor.
Application Timeline below
27th of February: Application submitted
28th of February: Uploaded all documents but I didn’t submit because I was trying to be sure I haven’t missed anything.
1st of March: Submitted all supporting documents on the self-service portal @ 7am
1st of March: Biometrics done @ 12.30pm
3rd of March: received an Email that visa is been processed
8th of March @ 9am received a call from Home office asking some general questions about me but laying emphasis on why she stayed longer previously. I had a genuine reason. He said we will get our decision soon. (Call lasted for about 7mins)
10th of March: Email from TLS that document is ready for collection @ 9.24am
12th of March: DHL delivered at 7.17pm
Documents that I submitted
1) Invitation letter
2) 6 months’ pay slip
3) Salary bank statement & Savings Bank statement (total= £5000)
4) Tenancy Agreement
5) My work I.D
6) Copy of my Nigerian passport page & Resident permit, my daughter's passport page ( She's British)
7) 2 utilities bills ( just to show my house address cos it’ appears differently sometimes)
cool My Birth certificate & My daughter’s birth certificate
9) Some pictures taken on her last visit to England

Documents my mum submitted
1) Her bank statement ( She has about 1.6 million in it with some lump sum, which I explained with evidence) her statement doesn’t really matter but just to be on the safe side
2) Age declaration
3) Her pension letters
4) Her marriage certificate
5) Supporting letter from her
6) My mum & dad’s house documents
7) Consent letter from my dad
I hope and pray everyone expecting theirs will be favoured and receive the good news they’re expecting. Thanks to everyone who has contributed over the years.

(3) how is dt person related to you?

(4) the job of our host?

(5) are you working in nigeria? - i just said YES

it depends, u can see the address and there number, i can call them to know if they accept cash.

medicaid in ibadan will not accept cash but allow u to pay into there special covid19 account and come with proof of payment to do the test OR u register through ncdc website and make payment there and come with payment confirmation to do the test.
