UK Dependent Visa - Family Immigration

Introduction

In today's globalized world, families often find themselves spread across different countries due to various reasons such as business opportunities, work, education, or personal choices. When one member of a family wishes to relocate to the United Kingdom for business, study, or other purposes, they may be accompanied by their dependents. Understanding the intricacies of UK immigration dependent visas is crucial for families navigating the immigration process.

What is UK Immigration Dependent Visas?

Overview

UK Immigration Dependent Visas are designed to allow the dependents of individuals who are either settled in the UK or who are applying to come to the UK to join them. These visas enable family members to accompany the primary visa holder and live with them in the UK for the duration of their stay.

Types of Dependent Visas

There are various types of UK Immigration Dependent Visas depending on the status of the primary visa holder:

UK Sponsor Licence for Employers: Empower Your Organisation Now!

What is a sponsor licence?

Eligibility requirements for UK sponsor licence

Required documents for UK sponsor licence application

UK Sponsor licence application fees

Applying for UK Sponsor licence

Benefits of holding a UK sponsor licence

What is a sponsor licence?

A sponsor licence, previously known as a Tier 2 sponsor licence, enables UK-based companies to employ skilled workers, to hire overseas employees or to enable a foreign national in the UK to switch into the Skilled Worker visa from various other visa types, including Tier 4 Student and Youth Mobility Scheme. Once approved, the licence is valid for four years and can be renewed.

Eligibility requirements for UK sponsor licence

To apply for a sponsor licence, your organisation must have a UK presence and operate lawfully in the country. If you have multiple UK branches, you may choose to apply for a single licence to cover all connected UK entities, or opt for separate licences based on your circumstances. Proof of registration with the appropriate body, as well as planning permission, may be required. The Home Office must be satisfied that you can provide genuine employment in a skilled occupation and pay the correct salary rate.

Required documents for UK sponsor licence application

Your Skilled Worker licence application typically involves submitting at least four specified mandatory documents, depending on your organisation's type, such as public bodies, startups, franchises, or SMEs.

Required documents may include-

Business bank statement

Employer's liability insurance

VAT registration certificate

Proof of HMRC employer registration, and

evidence of business premises ownership or lease.

Regulatory body registration evidence may also be necessary, especially for specific industries.

UK Sponsor licence application fees

The sponsor licence application fee varies according to your organisation's size and type. This fee is payable every four years when you renew your licence.

The Home Office reviews fees annually, and any changes are published. "Medium" and "large" organisations typically pay a fee of £1,476.

However, "small" organisations, including registered charities, pay a reduced fee of £536. Adding a subcategory to an existing 'Skilled Worker' sponsor licence incurs no extra fees.

Applying for UK sponsor licence

To apply for a sponsor licence, your company must complete an online application form, accompanied by at least four specified supporting documents demonstrating your UK trading presence.

Occasionally, the Home Office may request additional documents, such as evidence of your HR processes and compliance. Compliance visits may be conducted in person or online, considering COVID-19 restrictions.

Our team can conduct a mock HR audit to identify and rectify weaknesses before your formal application.

Know More: What is the Sponsor Licence Audit Process?

The advantages of having a UK sponsor licence

Once your organisation obtains a sponsor licence, it is registered with the Home Office and can issue Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS) to skilled foreign migrants. This is vital for many companies to access overseas skilled talent, particularly in a post-Brexit landscape with the end of freedom of movement. Companies must secure sponsorship for a significant portion of their workforce, underscoring the importance of holding a UK sponsor licence.

Comprehensive Information about UK Expansion Worker Visa Eligibility

Understanding the eligibility criteria is crucial before applying for the UK Expansion Worker Visa. This visa allows individuals employed by overseas businesses to set up a branch in the UK. Here's a detailed breakdown of the key requirements:

Sponsorship:

Obtaining a valid Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) issued by a licensed sponsor in the UK is the first step in the application process for the UK Expansion Worker Visa eligibility. Your employer, acting as your sponsor, plays a vital role in verifying the legitimacy of your job offer and its details like salary and title.

Previous Employment:

Applicants must have pre-existing employment with their sponsoring employer outside the UK for a minimum period. This required employment duration can vary based on specific job roles and situations. However, exceptions to this minimum requirement might exist under certain circumstances. To ensure you meet the necessary employment period for UK Expansion Worker Visa eligibility, consulting with your employer or referring to official guidance is highly recommended.

Occupation:

The UK Expansion Worker Visa eligibility requires the job to be on the list of eligible occupations. This list categorizes jobs by skill level, typically requiring a minimum of RQF Level 6 (graduate equivalent). You can access the list directly on the UK government website. While a degree might not always be mandatory, the job responsibilities should demonstrate expertise comparable to a graduate-level role.

Salary:

It is important to note that meeting or surpassing the minimum salary requirement set by the UK government for your particular job is essential for being eligible for a UK Expansion Worker Visa. The minimum salary threshold varies depending on your job code and can be found on the official government website.

Additionally, if the "going rate" for your job in the UK is higher than the minimum salary threshold, you must be offered the "going rate." The "going rate" represents the typical salary for similar roles in the UK and can be found on the government website's "going rates table."

Remember:

Staying updated with the latest information is crucial. Always refer to the official UK government website for the most accurate and comprehensive details regarding UK Expansion Worker Visa eligibility.

Consulting with an immigration specialist can provide personalized guidance and ensure your application adheres to all the specific requirements, increasing your chances of successfully obtaining the UK Expansion Worker Visa.

By understanding these key aspects of UK Expansion Worker Visa eligibility, you can determine whether you meet the criteria and proceed with the application process accordingly.

Favorite Takes - DC

Where I cite my personal favorite non-source material (so film, TV, and video games only) adaptations of some comic book characters.

Clark Kent/Superman

Superman The Movie & Sequels (Christopher Reeve)

All Star Superman (James Denton)

DC Animated Universe (Tim Daly, George Newbern)

My Adventures With Superman (Jack Quaid)

CW DC Universe (Tyler Hoechlin, Brandon Routh)

NOTE: I was never the biggest fan of Dean Cain from Lois & Clark so he couldn't get on here, Tom Welling from Smallville might've been a contender had his character and story not got so bastardized, and the less said of poor Henry Cavill from the DCEU, the better.

Lois Lane

DC Animated Universe (Dana Delany)

All Star Superman (Christina Hendricks)

Superman The Movie & Sequels (Margot Kidder)

TV Versions (Terri Hatcher, Erica Durance, and Elizabeth Tulloch)

My Adventures With Superman (Alice Lee)

Lex Luthor

DC Animated Universe (Clancy Brown)

All Star Superman (Anthony LePaglia)

Smallville (Michael Rosenbaum)

CW DC Universe (Jon Cryer, Michael Cudlitz)

DC DTV Universe(s) (James Marsters, Jason Isaacs)

JLA (James Woods) & Young Justice (Mark Rolston)

NOTE: The last two get a split spot since one of them's got the voice of an evil political fascist while the other got his character mangled in later seasons to be a bad parallel to an evil political fascist. I also like the Gene Hackman, Kevin Spacey, Stan Jones, Travis Willingham, Fred Tatasciore, Steve Blum, Ranin Wilson, Giancarlo Esposito, Zachary Quinto, Darin De Paul, Lance Reddick, Marc Maron, and Max Mittelman versions of Lex, and await to see Nicholas Hoult's.

Jimmy Olsen

Batman: The Brave & The Bold (Alexander Polinsky)

DC Animated Universe (David Kaufman)

My Adventures With Superman (Ishmael Sahid)

Superman Returns (Sam Huntington)

All Star Superman (Matthew Gray Gubler)

Supergirl

DC Animated Universe (Nicolle Tom)

DC Superhero Girls (Anais Fairweather)

My Adventures With Superman (Kiana Madeira)

CW DC Universe (Melissa Benoist)

Supergirl '84 Film (Helen Slater)

Brainiac

DC Animated Universe (Corey Burton)

My Adventures With Superman (Michael Emerson)

Injustice Series (Jeffrey Combs)

Superman Unbound (John Noble)

TV Versions (James Marsters and Blake Ritson)

Bruce Wayne/Batman

DC Animated Universe (Kevin Conroy)

Under The Red Hood & Young Justice (Bruce Greenwood)

The Batman Trilogy (Robert Pattinson)

The Dark Knight Trilogy (Christian Bale)

Batman: The Brave & The Bold (Diedrich Bader)

Batman '66 (Adam West)

NOTE: I really wanted David Mazouz from Gotham on here, but he had to compete with these other Bruces who were actually full time Batmen, so consider him an honorable mention. I also like Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, and Ben Affleck as Batman, but there were some problems with their particular iterations. Other runner ups include the other Kevin Conroy Batmen (particularly Arkham and Injustice), Rino Romano, Jeremy Sisto, Daran Norris, Anthony Ruivivar, Ben McKenzie, Jason O'Mara, Troy Baker, Peter Weller, Jensen Anckles, Keanu Reeves, Ethan Hawke, and of course the LEGO Batman(s).

Alfred Pennyworth

Burton-Shumacher Films (Michael Gough)

The Dark Knight Trilogy (Michael Caine)

DC Animated Universe (Clive Revill, Efrem Zimbalist Jr.)

The Batman (Alastair Duncan)

Arkham Series (Martin Jarvis)

Gotham (Sean Pertwee) and The Batman Trilogy (Andy Serkis)

NOTE: Other great Alfreds include James Garrett, Brian George, JB Blanc, David McCallum, Enn Reitel, Anthony Head, Ralph Fiennes, Nolan North, Tom Hollander, Jason Watkins, and Jeremy Irons.

James Gordon

DC Animated Universe (Bob Hastings)

Batman Year One (Bryan Cranston)

The Dark Knight Trilogy (Gary Oldman)

The Batman Trilogy (Jeffrey Wright)

Beware The Batman (Kurtwood Smith)

Batman '66 (Neil Hamilton, Jim Ward)

Joker 2019 (Joaquin Phoenix)

Under The Red Hood (John DiMaggio)

Gotham (Cameron Monaghan)

NOTE: Other great Jokers include Mark Hamill and Troy Baker as Arkham series Joker, Mark Hamill in JLA, Troy Baker in Batman Unlimited and some of the newer DTVs, Caesar Romero in Batman '66, Michael Emerson in The Dark Knight Returns, Kevin Michael Richardson in The Batman, Jeff Bennett in Batman: The Brave & The Bold, Richard Epcar in Mortal Kombat and Injustice, John Kassir in Superfriends 2010, Alan Tudyk in Harley Quinn, Tony Hale in Batman Ninja, Barry Keogan in The Batman Trilogy, and the LEGO Joker(s).

The Penguin

Batman '66 (Burgess Meredith, William Salyers)

Gotham (Robin Lord Taylor)

The Batman Trilogy (Colin Farrell)

Arkham Series (Nolan North, Ian Redford)

DC Animated Universe (Paul Williams, David Odgen Stiers)

The Batman (Tom Kenny)

NOTE: I like the Stephen Root, David Jennison, Dana Snyder, and Wayne Knight Penguins as well, but they're not quite good enough to crack this. Mad respect to Danny DeVito too, but his Penguin sucks.

The Riddler

Batman '66 (Frank Gorshin*, Wally Wingert)

Gotham (Cory Michael Smith)

The Batman Trilogy (Paul Dano)

The Batman (Robert Englund)

DC Animated Universe (John Glover)

Arkham Series (Wally Wingert, Matthew Gray Gubler)

NOTE: Sorry Jim Carrey, you couldn't quite make the cut! Also in the running: Shannon McCormick, John Michael Higgins, Rob Paulsen, Weird Al Yankovic, Jim Rash, Brent Spiner, and Geoffrey Arrend.

*I refuse to credit John Astin's one appearance. That didn't happen!

Selina Kyle/Catwoman

Arkham Series (Grey Griffin, Chantelle Barry)

The Dark Knight Trilogy (Anne Hathaway)

Burton-Shumacher Films (Michele Pteifer)

Gotham (Camren Bicondova)

Batman: The Brave & The Bold (Nika Futterman)

The Batman (Gina Gershon)

NOTE: Wish DCAU Selina could've made it since Adrienne Barbeau has easily the best voice for the character, but the writing and artwork let her down too often. Other good Catwomen include Julie Newmar, Ertha Kitt, Patty Matson, Jaynse Jaud, Eliza Dushku, Stephanie Sheh, Laura Bailey, Cree Summer, Jennifer Morrison, Naya Rivera, Liz Gilles, Gina Rodriguez, Christina Ricci, and Zoe Kravitz.

Arkham Series (Troy Baker)

The Dark Knight Trilogy (Aaron Eckhard)

Batman '66 (William Shatner)

Batman: Caped Crusader (Diedrich Bader)

Batman: The Brave & The Bold (James Remar)

NOTE: Apologies to Billy Dee Williams, who would've done great, and Tommy Lee Jones, who could've done great (but definitely didn't). Also in the running but their coins landed on tails: Travis Willingham, Matthew Mercer, Robert Picardo, Petter Jessop, Dave Boat, Keith Ferguson, Gary Cole, Andrew Daly, and Josh Duhamel.

Mr. Freeze

Arkham Series (Maurice LeMarche)

Young Justice (Keith Szarabajka)

DC Animated Universe (Dianne Pershing)

The Batman (Pierra Coppola)

Harley Quinn (Lake Bell)

Batman: The Brave & The Bold (Vanessa Marshall)

Gotham (Peyton List, Clare Foley, Maggie Geha)

NOTE: Uma Thurman, Laure Bailey, Fryda Wolff, Natasha Leggero, Paget Brewster, Peyton List II, Cristina Milizia, and Katee Sackhoff are all fun Poison Ivys as well.

Harley Quinn

DC Animated Universe (Arleen Sorkin)

Harley Quinn (Kaley Cuoco)

The Batman (Hynden Walch)

DCEU (Margot Robbie) and Suicide Squad ISEKAI (Karlii Hoch)

Arkham Series (Arleen Sorkin, Tara Strong)

Batman: Caped Crusader (Jamie Chung)

NOTE: Meghan Strange in Batman: The Brave & The Bold, Jenny Slate in The LEGO Batman Movie, Laura Post in the Telltale games, and Melissa Rauch in Batman and Harley Quinn are also great, and I've no doubt Lady Gaga could've really rocked it too but....yeah.

Ra's Al Ghul

DC Animated Universe (David Warner)

Gotham (Alexander Sidigg)

The Dark Knight Trilogy (Liam Neeson)

Batman: The Brave & The Bold (Peter Woodward)

Young Justice (Oded Fehr)

NOTE: Also among the great Ra's Al Ghuls are Jason Isaacs, Lance Reddick, Giancarlo Esposito & TC Carson, JB Blanc, and Cas Anvar.

Professor Hugo Strange

Arkham Series (Corey Burton)

Gotham (BD Wong)

The Batman (Frank Gorshin, Richard Green)

Strange Days Short (Brian George)

Batman '66 (Jim Ward)

DC Animated Universe (Ray Buktenica)

NOTE: William Salyers in Gotham By Gaslight is fine as well but his part is too secondary. Young Justice Strange is the only one I dislike.

Diana Prince/Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman DTV (Keri Russell)

Wonder Woman '76 (Lynda Carter)

DCEU (Gal Gadot)

Young Justice (Maggie Q)

Batman: The Brave & The Bold (Vicki Lewis)

DTV Universe (Grey Griffin, Michelle Monaghan, Rosario Dawson)

NOTE: Really wish a Susan Eisenberg Wonder Woman could've landed here, but both of her most major iterations had some issues.

Batman: The Brave & The Bold (Michael Leon Wooley)

Injustice Series (Michael Leon Wooley)

DTV Universe(s) (Andre Baugher, Bruce Thomas, Tony Todd)

JLA (Johnathan Adams)

NOTE: I discount Steve Blum from the DTV Universe(s) 'cause what the fuck was that, and Ray Porter in the DCEU was tragically ill-fated.
