UK visa interview appointment for an infant is four hours later than for its parents. Can we still go together?
I have recently applied for a Standard Visitor visa for self, spouse and my 3-month-old infant. While my wife and I have time slots with a difference of 15 minutes apart, my child has got an appointment slot four hours later than ours.
Do I have to take my child separately later, or they allow us to take the infant with us to our interview, and process the application together?
Best Answer
They did allow me and my wife to take our daughter in for the visa application process. However, since her interview was scheduled around 4 hours later, i had to pay INR 2560 extra to VFS to let my daughter in for the application process as a 'walk in' fees. Alternatively, they asked me to come 4 hours later to submit the application for my 3 month old daughter separately in case i wanted to avoid paying the fee. There was no option to club the appointments together for the family as per the representatives.
