including children on spouse visa
Hi, I am applying for my husband and two kids under the spouse/family visa (from US). I completed the application for my husband and under the family section, I added the two kids as dependents. When I got to the payment for IHS, it said he had no dependents. I am wondering if this is an issue. Do I need to restart his application? Or do I apply for the children in separate applications? I’ve been unsuccessful with finding information about children included on spouse visas.

You’ll need to lodge a separate application for each of them.

Re: including children on spouse visa
Are they not your children (just your husbands)?, or were you unable to pass British citizenship to them for some reason?

Thanks everyone. I am a British citizen by descent, so have to apply for the kids as well.

I spent a year studying abroad in the UK. Does that make a difference in the application?

Re: including children on spouse visa
One other question...on the accommodation requirement. I have the land registry document for my aunt’s house and a draft letter from her saying that we can stay with her. Does this letter need to be an original signature? Or can it be an electronic signature? Is the land registry document sufficient if they own the home outright? The guidelines and what I read online were somewhat vague as to what exactly was required. Thank you!

Re: including children on spouse visa
What about the appendices? For example, appendix 2 has a check box for spouse and also for a child. Do I need to complete appendix 2 for my husband and both kids (I.e. 3 completed forms, one for each person)? The way the questions are worded on appendix 2, it seems geared towards the spouse.
Also, I am confused if appendix 1 is applicable in my situation or if this is only for children who are joining parents who are already settled in the UK. We are all in US currently and looking to relocate to UK this summer.

Re: including children on spouse visa
Appendix 2 is the one you want. You should complete one for each application.
