Tier-1 Dependant Visa Application

Post by jerrin » Mon Feb 08, 2010 8:03 pm

I am living in UK for 7 months on Tier-1 visa. I entered into UK on Jul 1st, 2009. Now I would like to bring my family(wife and a child) to UK on dependant visa.

I am planning to apply for them in the 1st week of July this year (July 2010). (I will complete 12 month in UK on Jul 1st, 2010) Can you please tell me how much do I need to maintain in my account as funds for dependants?

1. 533 x 2 + 800 = 1866 GBP starting from Apr 1st, 2010 to Jul 1st, 2010
OR
2. 1600 x 2 + 800 = 4000 GBP starting from Apr 1st, 2010 to Jul 1st, 2010.

Please advice

Thanks,
Jerrin

If applying after completing 12 months in UK, then 800 (migrant) + 533 (for each dependent).

regards

I don’t think he has to maintain 800 for 3 months for himself. As he is in UK for 12 months only maintain 533 * 2 for 3 months and at the time of application, he should have 533* 2 + 800 on his account.


Please see
http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/siteco ... policy.pdf
pages 13 and 14

Also please note that PBS dependent application form is a common application form for initial application and extension so there are some ambiguous statements in Page 9. I think 800 pounds for 3 months if main applicant is also applying along with the dependent for an initial application. The same application form is used for this.

Otherwise 800 pounds for self at the time of application is enough. and this worked out well with me for my HSMP dependent visa (Not Tier 1)application.

Cheers
Deepu

tvn_ramesh,

I agree I need to show 800 GBP. But can you confirm

800GBP should be maintained in the account for 3 months with dependants funds?

or

need to show only at the time of application with 3 months maintained dependants funds?

Jerrin.

800+533 should be maintained for 3months in the main applicants account or Jaccount with dependent.. and also 533 can be maintained in dependents own account.. these are the options..

But please read the following discussion which says something else but we want to be on safer side..
