I want to apply for my wife and baby from abroad. I am on entrepreneur extension meaning I have lived in the country for a while now.
Do I have to keep £630 X 2 or £1800x 2?
Thanks

Could you share where you found this in the guidance ? Please copy and paste the actual paragraph.ogogzy wrote: ↑Tue Nov 13, 2018 10:05 pmThanks for quick reply marcnath and sorry for breaking any rule... So it doesn't matter if both haven't never been to the UK in the past? I am just confused with the guidance that says dependant only qualifies for reduced maintenance funds if they have lived with the main applicant in the UK for the past six/nine months.... I will be very pleased to know if I only need to show £630*2 instead of £1800*2..
Thanks and awaiting your response
Family members of Tier 1 (General), Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) and Tier 1 (Post Study Work) migrants
69. If the Tier 1 Migrant is outside the United Kingdom or has been present in the United Kingdom for less than 12 months, you must show that you, the Tier 1 Migrant, or (for children) your other parent have at least £1890 to support you; this is in addition to any funds the Tier 1 Migrant needs to prove they have enough money to support themselves.
70. If the Tier 1 Migrant has been in the United Kingdom for 12 months or more, you must have £630 to support yourself.
71. For example, the Tier 1 Migrant has been in the UK for 6 months and is making an application at the same time as their spouse and two children. They must show that they have £1890 for their spouse and a further £1890 for each child, in addition to £945 required for their own support. In total the family will require evidence that they hold £6615 in available funds (£1890 x 3 = £5670+£945).
72. If the same Tier 1 Migrant and their family had been present in the UK for two years, they would require evidence that they held £2835 (£630 x 3 = £1890 + £945) in available funds.
73. If you are applying as the family member of a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) migrant you cannot use the same funds to meet the maintenance requirement that the Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) used to meet the attributes requirement (appendix A of the Immigration Rules).
Nowhere in there does it mention anything about living with the main applicant. Where was that from ?ogogzy wrote: ↑Wed Nov 14, 2018 2:35 pmFamily members of Tier 1 (General), Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) and Tier 1 (Post Study Work) migrants

I found the above on page 14 of the PBS dependants guidance policy
