See this . Go through Clauses 43 to 47 of the dependants policy guide and make your own opinion about how much funds are required. I believe no one on the forum can give you a concrete answer and be 100% sure. Only UKBA can answer this. There have been cases where only dependants maintenance funds w...

@rainbow123 - There are different opinions on this on the forum. I believe that the maintenance funds need to be shown for the main applicant as well, even if not applying at the same time since they will be living together and the funds would be required to sustain the entire family and not only th...

I had sent my dependants postal application on a Friday(expiring on Sunday) by special delivery; reached UKBA on Monday morning. Have got Biometrics letters. So no need to be concerned.

Please post the exact wordings of the rejection letter(omitting out any personal references).

How many dependants had applied?
How much funds had you shown for the maintenance requirement?
What had you mentioned regarding maintenance funds in the cover letter(if given with application)?

How much amount are you maintaining for the last 3 month period? more than £2700 (for main + dependants) or more than £1800 (required for dependants application) OR showing £900 and £1800 from different accounts?

workable option Manta but wouldn't that put the spouse under the new 5 year requirement for ILR? Also, what happens when an appointment is booked for 2 but only one person attends? Has anyone gone through this successfully? shaktiman - I would rather pay £400 and get the peace of mind if travel is a...

A question on friend's behalf Applying for Tier 1 General Dependant Extension. The first entry clearance application for the dependant was rejected. Friend appealed and the rejection was overturned ie application was succesful after appeal What should be the answer for Question E8 in the dependants ...

The tickets can be non-cancelable(ie no refund) but are they also non-changeable ie cannot be changed for a later departure? Try booking an earlier appointment, very difficult but not impossible. If not, best case scenario, you will get your BRP just before your spouse travels. Many have got BRP wit...

same points that were required during initial application ie 95 points

A single set of original bank statements will suffice since you are applying at the same time

Yes to both as long as they are taxed.

@msk1977 - If you are applying by PEO, apply as soon as you have the reference number for your application; or if you can wait, till you receive your BRP(which is typically 3-4 days after the PEO appilcation for straight forward applciations)

No problem at all. when you say same bank statements, remember that bank statements need to be originals/stamp&signed. So hopefully you have 2 set of valid bank statements for the same period to be sent with the 2 different applications. Also, how much maintenance funds have you maintained and p...

You can count the earnings for the period oct 2011 to sep 2012 and include your Oct 2011 earnings from India with direct conversion and without uplift. For sep 2012 earnings, depends when you are paid for the month and if you will have the payslip for sep 2012 and the amount reflected in the bank st...

Makes perfect sense. I had done the same. Also since the main applicant would have got extension, the dependants application will be processed much quicker than applying for both through post. So time wise as well the overall process for both applicants should take less time

2. Not required for dependant's extension application

3. Put approximate dates and tick "Already proved in initial Tier 1"

@sma_tier1

Last 3 months Bank statements are the only documents required as evidence. I had provided a photocopy of my extension approval letter and BRP card

user_name - Which rule are you talking about? The settlement criteria? If yes then depends on when you are going, before extending your leave or after? If before, then you will need entry clearance in March 2013 and most probably would fall under the 5 year rule for settlement If after, then no entr...

If applying at the same time, you can send the dependant application along with the main applicant in a single envelope.

For extension, marriage certificate is not required

If you need to show last months salary then you can apply in first week of december. I had applied through PEO 5 days before my leave was to end, so no issues at all in applying so close to the end date as long you have all the required evidences available. Especially so if you are employed, payslip...

108 falls under Children of Points Based System Migrants, so not relevant to spouse

This rule is not for Tier 1 general

The earnings need to be from a 12 month period. So you cannot use the 2nd Dec 2011 payslip since most of it it would be for 4 weeks falling outside the period you are claiming for. At the most, you can claim pro-rata for the first 2 days of dec 2011(assuming the pay is till 2nd Dec) and explain it i...

zeberga,

not that I doubt what you have said, but how did you come to know that the online form was the wrong one to be used? Just so that everyone is aware what it is used for and when not to use it

Really cannot comprehend the situation and your questions. Please re-phrase your questions and explain the context with actual dates
