Talk to VFS.
Many folks have done that and everyone has mentioned how polite and helpful they are.

Deck,
As I mentioned before, it clearly states on Appendix 2 that:-

YOU SHOULD COMPLETE THIS FORM IF YOU WISH TO COME TO THE UK AS....

The child of a parent who is applying for entry clearance as a partner or the child who is applying to join their parent who is already in the UK and has been granted limited leave as partner granted under the Immigration Rules in force on 09 July 2012

This does not apply in your case. Furthermore, this is the Financial Requirements form which also does not apply to your case.

Appendix 1 states that:-

YOU SHOULD COMPLETE THIS FORM IF YOU WISH TO COME TO THE UK AS..

- The adult dependant relative of a person who is present and settled in the UK; or
- The adult dependant relative of a person with limited leave to enter or remain in the UK as a refugee or as the beneficiary of humanitarian protection; or

- The child of settled parents or with one parent who has limited leave as a partner or parent granted under the Rules in force before 9 July 2012.

IF YOU ARE NOT COMING TO THE UK UNDER ONE OF THESE CATEGORIES, YOU ARE COMPLETING THE WRONG APPENDIX.

Your application is "The child of settled parents or with one parent who has limited leave as a partner or parent granted under the Rules in force before 9 July 2012."


I went through the initial stages on online application. Here's how I approached it:-

Type of Visa = Settlement

Purpose of Application = Settlement

Type of Application = Child or Other dependant of Settled Person

Then there follows a message:-

[I] Settlement

This inline form is based on the paper VAF4A settlement.
You should only use this online form if you are coming to the UK to settle

After you have completed the online form you must complete the relevant appendix which can be found on the[I] UK Border Agency Website

I cannot find anywhere that actually stipulates you must use Appendix 2.

Of course I didn't actually complete all of the online form.

Please check the data inputs I used and see if it is different to that used by you.

Hope this will help you

BTW please do click that link above in the quote called "UK Border Agency Website" and you'll see all the forms.
