No1. Is it mandatory for me to apply for my wife and child as dependents when I make the initial application for myself?
Yes very much2. Can I show maintenance funds as minimum amounts in multiple bank accounts instead of just one?
they would be living in UK illegally.3. If I can apply only for myself initially and then for my wife and child in 2-3 months' time what will be their status if and when I an granted T1?
they need to leave otherwise it would have implications on their FLR & ILR application4. Do my wife and child have to leave the UK if and when I am granted T1? Or can they stay on in the UK till their applications are submitted in 2-3 months?
As already suggested, it is not madatory. But why not wait until such time that you have enough balance in your account to meet the maintenance fund requirements for the family?? I suggest so because if you submit dependent applications along with your own T1 application, you will not have to pay for dependent applications. But if you apply for them later, then you will have to pay for those applications.1.

Since you are on WP and your family is here as your dependents, they can switch to Tier 1 dependent category without having to leave the UK. Please see here. As per info. on website and the dependent policy guidance, BIA recommends (or encourages you) that you make a dependent application along with your Tier 1 application, but doesn't mandate that it *must* be done so. Therefore, I tend to believe that you should be able to make a dependent application at a later date and without them having to leave UK. Could be that there is a time-limit within which your dependents would have to apply?? Suggest that you cross-check on this issue with BIA.If you are already in UK wrote:Any dependant applications sent with your form are free of charge. We will not consider dependant applications sent separately or later without an extra fee of £395.

As suggested the best way for him is to apply along with the dependents. Otherwise he needs to send back his dependents to his home country.
4th Paragraph in following link. Above is only true for applicants in UKAlso while we are at it - can someone also confirm that for applications made till June 29th we are required to show funds for only one month and not 3 months.
