    No separate letter. 1 letter for the principal applicant and the dependant is mentioned in that letter. Even if it is not mentioned, just upload the same letter for both.

    Can't say for sure. My 1 application was July 21 and it got approved in Jan 2026. The other application was July 27 and it got approved in Apr 2026. But, the biometric and medical request for both were at the same date. They just allowed 1 to expire and had to be redone.

    I would say you should put size as 6 while trying to link the application in GCKey.

    That status will change in due course and you will be asked to provide biometrics.

    2 is likely not correct. It should include all the people being sponsored + Sponsor + Co-Sponsor

    You will need to give Biometrics again. The ones for PR cannot reuse the ones from Visitor visa. For linking your application, what is the total number of family members that you are using?
