Hi
I have a valid dependent visa. (visa printed with the title "visa to join spouse"). And also I have H4 visa. My wife have valid uk work permit(expires in June 2009) and valid H1 visa. At present we both are in usa.
Now I am willing to travel to London without my spouse as she is having project work here in usa for 2more months.
So without main applicant can I travel to London? (As my visa is dependent visa)
Any restrictions from immigration people?
My wife will come to uk after 1 or 2 months for uk assignment.
Kindly solve my problem ASAP.
Waiting for your positive response.
Thanks and Regards
Ashwin

I think you will have to contact the UK consulate wherever you live to anwer your complicated questions. Sorry, can't solve you problem from this end.

As long as your H-4 is valid, you can travel outside US and return to US by yourself, no problem.
Same thing... if you have dependent visa for UK, then you can enter UK without getting visitor's visa. If not, it depends whether you come from countries under visa waiver program with UK or not.

Thank you very much for your reply. My doubt is
My spouse is not in Uk now. I would like to travel to Uk. I am on dependent visa (visa title is "visa to join spouse"). Can I enter into uk as my spouse is not in UK? I would like to travel from USA to UK

If you have your passport stamped with this visa, you can enter UK even your spouse is traveling or doing business in other country.

Hello Ashwin
I have the same issue as yours and I am also a dependant-visa holder. Could you please let me know as soon as possible if you were successful in entering UK without your partner? What questions did the immigration officer in london ask?
Thanks A lot.

Hi - My name is arun Varghese. I wanted to know if I can travel to the UK with my spouse for the first time as I hold dependent visa. She is working in the UK on Tier 2 General immigrant visa.
