I have been recently granted leave to remain under the Tier 2 General (Shortage Occupation List) category and i have been in the UK since the last 2 months., i am now in the process of gathering the required documents for my depends (wife, child). I was going through the guidance for PBS dependents and something caught my eye regarding maintenance funds the link to the document is:
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... 2-2018.pdf
and point number 82 states the following:
I do have a letter from my organisation stating that they will provide maintenance if required but looks like i do not need it as my CoS states that my company will provide the same for me, and i did not have to show evidence.If you apply separately from the main applicant you will need to have the necessary funds to meet
the maintenance requirement or have a written undertaking from an A-rated Sponsor, unless the
main applicant already had leave in a Tier 2 category and when applying for their most recent period of Tier 2
leave was not required to show evidence of satisfying maintenance requirements.
The letter my organisation gave me is dated on the 15th Feb 2018 and it states that they will provide funds only until the end of my first full month.
Which leaves me asking the following:
- Will my dependents need evidence of maintenance in the first place ?
- Can i use the letter from my organisation despite of the first full month clause ?
