Short answer
Graduate dependant enquiries should identify the main Graduate route applicant, dependant relationship, current immigration status, Student or Tier 4 dependant history, child residence evidence, UAN, scholarship letters and any decision deadline. Legal4U cannot decide eligibility or whether a dependant application will be granted.
