Family visa application to the UK
I plan to make my application for UK work visa at the same time with my wife and children. But we reside in different countries, which means that locations in which to make appointments will be different.My question is: is it possible to make an online application at the same time as a family, and then my wife and children schedule an appointment to give biometrics later where they now reside?
