Family member of a Tier 1 migrant
If the Tier 1 migrant is outside the United
39. Kingdom or has been present in the United Kingdom for less than 12 months, each family member of the Tier 1 migrant must show that he/she, the Tier 1 migrant, or (for children) his/her other parent who is also legally present in the United Kingdom has at least £1600 to support him/her; this is in addition to any funds the Tier 1 migrant needs to prove he/she has enough money to support himself/herself.

If the Tier 1 migrant has been in the

@VKS.. i think chandu is correct.. please read the Paragraph 41 on page 8 of Dependent Guidance

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... policy.pdf

41. For example, the Tier 1 migrant has been in the UK for 6 months and is making an application at the same time as his/her spouse and two children. He/she must show that he/she has £1600 for his spouse and a further £1600 for each child, in addition to £800 required for his/her own support. In total the family will require evidence that they hold £5600 in available funds (£1600 x 3 = £4800 + £800).

So in this case 1600 x 2 + 800 = 4000

But chandu you shd be careful with the conversion rate so keep some buffer of u maintenance funds..
