30. If the Tier 1 (General) Migrant (the main applicant) is outside the UK or has been present in the UK for less than 12 months, the Family Member of the Tier 1 (General) Migrant must demonstrate that either they; the main applicant; or (in the case of children) their other parent
who is also legally present in the UK; has at least £1600 to support the family member in addition to any funds the main applicant must demonstrate to support themselves.
31. If the main applicant has been present in the UK for 12 months or over the Family Member of the Tier 1 (General) Migrant must have £533 to support themselves.
For example, a main applicant who has been in the UK for 6 months, who is making an application at the same time as his spouse and two children must show that he has £1600 for his spouse and £1600 for each child, in addition to £800 required for his own support. In total the family
will require evidence that they hold £5600 in available
funds (£1600 x 3 = £4800 + £800).
32. If the same main applicant and his family had been present in the UK for two years, they would require evidence that they held £2399 (£533 x 3 = £1599 + £800) in available funds.
