Tier 2 Dependant Visa Maintenance Fund

[SOM73]

Hi All,
I have got UK tier2 visa (Intra company transfer) from India to UK. I will leave India in another 20 days.

Now I need dependant visa for my wife & my daughter, I have questions regarding maintenance of funds in bank account.

how much money I need to maintain in my (UK BANK )account for 3 months in order to apply for dependant visa.

She need to apply for Uk tier2 dependant visa only after 3 months ? Pl. clarify.

and how much my wife need to maintain in her account (Indian bank) for 3 months. and what about my kid (She is 1.5 years old and does not have any bank account in india ), presently my wife and my kid are in India.

Any one please help.

my family got visa today , I used following method

£533 x each dependant
+ £800 for myself

I enclosed maintenance letter for my family from the company as well , as a supporting document.

PLEASE CONSIDER WHEN YOU WANT TO APPLY:

because after 14 Jun 2012 , amount required as mainenance funds will be raised

You kid does not need to have a seperate account and amount for kids should be present in the same source which your wife will use.

Thank you very much Khurram,

The amount 800+533+533 = 1866 Pounds should be maintained in my UK bank account for 3 months (i,e Average of 3 months or 1866 pounds per month. please clarify)

Do we need to show 1866 pounds in my wife's (Indian Bank) Account Also ?. Pl. clarify.

Thank you very much for your help

Thanks

I you logged application before 14 june 2012, for 2 dependants and yourself you need to show total £1866 remain in your bank account for 3 months.

Do we need to show 1866 pounds in my wife's (Indian Bank) Account Also ?. Pl. clarify.

No , you dont need to show in your home land as well if you maintain your account in UK.


I would say , go through policy guideline for dependants available at UKBA website (just google and find). and if you are planning to log the application after 14 june 2012, you will need to maintain new level of required amount for 3 months so plan now.

Hi All,
My Sponsor is a A rated sponsor, They are ready to give a maintenance fund Letter saying that they will take care of my dependents (wife) and My daughter till the end of first month of my Job.

Is this document is sufficient for maintenance fund for dependants ?. So there is no need to have 800+533+533 =1866 Pounds in my account ?


Pl. Advice.

Thank you All for your Advice.

make sure they have ticked the maintenacne option in SMS .

in this case , you dont need to show your own funds but it will make your application strong if you show some of balance regardless of amount and duration

in maintenance letter , use words like they will maintain and accommodate to you and your family (with passport details on the same letter)

Hi Khurram,

I just came 2 months ago. Should I proceed with my dependent visa (ICT-tier2) if company is giving fund maintenance certificate.

Thanks & Regards,
Hari.

Hari,
See following link.

48. The family member of the Tier 2 Migrant must have £533 to support himself/herself.
49. This requirement can be met by:
• having savings of £533 which must have been held for at least three months prior to the date of application; or
• the Tier 2 A-rated sponsor providing a written undertaking that, should it become necessary, it will maintain and accommodate the family member for a month. The undertaking may be limited provided the limit is at least £533 per family member.

Thanks

HI,

HOWEVER I HAVE MAINTAINED THE MAINTENANCE FUND EQUIVALENT TO 2000 POUNDS I.E. 2LACS (CONVERSION RATE OF 100) IN MY INDIAN BANK ACCOUNT FOR MORE THAN 3 MONTHS, ALSO MY WIFE HAS BLOCKED AMOUNT EQUIVALENT TO 2000 POUNDS (2 LACS) SEPARATLY IN HER INDIAN SAVING BANK ACCOUNT.

WILL I BE FINE WITH THE MAINTENANCE FUND CLAUSE OR WAS I REQUIRED TO BLOCK THIS MONEY IN MY UK ACCOUNT?

PLEASE HELP.
