Tier 1 Dependant Visa Rejected.. Please Help!!

[poorana.shankaran]

I joined my husband in the UK on dependant work permit visa which was valid till 17 July 2012. Recently my husband got his HSMP tier 1 visa.

After we got his visa I applied for dependant on hsmp tier 1 visa on June 2009 but the application got rejected with the reason 'Insufficient Funds'.

I was not given the Right to Appeal because they had mentioned in their letter that the current visa dependant on wrok permit holds good till July 2012.

I was not convinced with the decision taken because of the follwing reasons:

1) I had enough funds and had provided the joint account bank statement and an online saver account of my husband (for which I have full access) that contained sufficient funds for the period of March till May 2009.

2) My major concern is what will be the impact my visa will have if the current work permit status of my husband becomes void.

I had sent a letter along with the photocopy of the bank documents to UKBA in Sheffield asking them to clarify the above two points but still they have not received any response from them.

Im not sure whether the visa which im currently holding is valid because it is clearly given in my husbands passport that the "HSMP Tier 1" visa supersedes the earlier work permit .

Please advise on how to resolve the issue asap.

Thanks in advance
