Can a spouse get a dependent DTV based on a soft-power DTV?
Community reports suggest it can be possible, but dependent files need clear relationship evidence and usually depend on the primary applicant's DTV being granted first.
What applicants reported
Dependent questions are common because official wording can feel thin. The useful pattern is that the dependent case rides on the strength and status of the primary applicant.
What to prepare
- Prepare marriage or relationship proof in an acceptable format.
- Keep the primary applicant's approval and route documents ready.
- Check whether the embassy wants the primary DTV issued before the dependent files.
Important caution
Dependent handling can vary by post, especially around timing and document translation.
