Sometimes a small discrepancy can have a significant impact on the success of an application. A Y & J Solicitors takes great care to ensure that every application—even the ones that appear routine—are carefully checked before submission. Unique challenges can often be resolved when expertise and diligence are available, as in the following case.

Tier 2 Worker Prepares to Bring Partner and Dependants to the UK on PBS Visa

After our assistance with his successful Tier 2 General entry clearance application, Mr S, an Indian national, travelled to the UK by himself to start working for an IT company. Mr S wished to have his family join him in the UK as his PBS Dependants as soon as possible. He requested we continue to assist him by processing the PBS Dependant applications for his family.

Careful Document Review Shows Critical Discrepancy

When preparing his partner and two children’s PBS Dependant applications, we noticed that different names were shown on the passport and birth certificate for one of his children. We were informed by Mr S that the names shown on these documents were different due to a change of name when the child was 3 years old. Mr S could not provide any official document to show that the child had changed his name.

A Y & J Solicitor’s Expert Support leads to Successful PBS Dependant Visa

We worked with Mr S to gather appropriate documentation that provided evidence of the parent-child relationship. Our team stood by Mr S for every step of the PBS Dependant on entry clearance applications by providing prompt communication and updates, a comprehensive document checklist, and careful review of all supporting documents. We then represented the applications with the UKVI.

Less than 2 weeks after submitting the PBS Dependant applications, Mr S called to inform us that his wife and two children were granted an entry clearance as his dependants. The timing was perfect, as they were able to travel to the UK to join him before the children’s school terms started. The family is now living in the UK with Mr S. He can now focus on his career while enjoying settled life with his wife and children.
