Question to the Home Office:

(a) A spouse can submit a dependant application under a number of different routes depending on the visa category of their spouse/partner. However, if the individual is making an application to join their spouse/partner who is them self settled in the UK, or a British citizen, they would apply via the Route to Settlement category, which is shown on page 4 of the linked table.

(b) The estimated unit costs for both In-UK and overseas student visa applications are shown on page 3 of the linked table.
