So I guess you can show GBP 800 for yourself.You have to show GBP 2800 for main applicant if you are in UK for less than 12 months. You have to show GBP 800 for main applicant if you are in UK for 12 months or more.
If the main applicant under the highly skilled worker category is outside the United Kingdom or has been in the United Kingdom for less than 12 months, the family member must show that the main applicant or the dependant has at least £1,600 to support the dependant as well as the funds needed to support the main applicant.
If the main applicant has been present in the United Kingdom for 12 months or more, the main applicant or the family member of the highly skilled worker must have £533 to support himself/herself.

I am not very clear of the process of applying for Tier1 visa for my myself (main applicant) along with my dependants (wife and kid).
Do the dependants also need to have a bank account? OR I just show that I have a minimum of 2400£ (£ 800 * 3) in my bank account in the last 3 months.
Thanks,
Looking through this and your other (frequent) posts, it seems clear that you haven't read through the Tier 1 policy completely. While you were spot on in the income calculations, you seem ignorant of many other aspects of the Tier 1 scheme. It will be in your best interest to take out a couple of hours and read the appropriate Tier 1 policy guidance(s) - before you decide to take the plunge.maybe wrote:Hi,
But I was not in India for all the time before coming to UK. I was in US for first 6 months, then 3 months in India and then last 3 months in UK.
Do I still need to show GBP 2800 for myself and GBP 1600 for each dependant?
I was under the impression that 800 for myself, 800 for my wife and 400 for my kid would be good enough.
Does anybody know for sure about this? This is becoming critical for my application.
Thanks,
How does living in US make difference? Maintenance (Funds) requirement differencites only UK and non-UK.maybe wrote:Hi,

2. Yes
If might be very difficult for you to meet the condition of 7 days for non UK back account.

Initially, in order to qualify under Tier 1 (General) Migrant you must be able to demonstrate that you have £2,800 for yourself and (where applicable) £1,600 for each dependant accompanying you......
The points awarded for maintenance (funds) if you are already inside the United Kingdom
You must score 10 points for maintenance (funds). These will be awarded if you are applying for permission to stay in the United Kingdom (known as 'leave to remain') and have £800 in available funds.
The points awarded for maintenance (funds) if you are applying from outside the United Kingdom
You must score 10 points for maintenance (funds). These will be awarded if you are applying to a British overseas entry clearance post for permission to come to the United Kingdom (known as 'entry clearance') and have £2,800 in available funds.
You must have the £2,800 in your account for at least three months before you apply, and be able to send documents that show the money has been there for three months.
You must prove your maintenance (funds) by sending the specified evidence to support your application, or your application will be refused.
I suspect that at the time of drafting the policy guidance, the author wouldn't have imagined in-country applicants wanting to use non-UK bank statements as evidence. Hence no clear guidance for such peculiar circumstances. But this also doesn't mean that it is okay to assume that non-UK bank statements can also be dated within 1 month of the application, just as UK bank statements can be!! On the other hand, we know that applications in India require that a non-Indian bank statement must be dated within 7 days of the application, just as an Indian bank statement has to be! So if we follow 7 day rule in India, we should be okay following the 1 month rule in UK - irrespective of whether the bank account is held in the country where the application is being made or elsewhere. Right?? Maybe or maybe not!maybe wrote:For applications submitted in the UK, all evidence must be dated no more than one month before your application is submitted.
I believe, that all evidence will include both UK and non-UK documents.
Yes, provided the letter contains all the information and details as prescribed in the Tier 1 policy guidance.maybe wrote:For one of the banks, I do not have the bank statements but a letter from the bank stating the minimum balance maintained in the last 3 months. Will that be sufficient?
1. The UKVisas homepage has this to sayrajesh9pl wrote:Mehta, Can you let me know where UKVisa says its content is only applicable for out-country applicants. Such information would be great.
2. You need to understand the difference between "leave to enter / entry clearance" and "leave to remain". Once you have clarity on this, you'll understand who the target audience for this website is.UKVisas Wesbite wrote: If you are already in the UK and need to change or extend your stay, or if you would like more information about work permits, British citizenship or asylum, please visit the main UK Border Agency website.

I was not addressing the amount required for applicants. I was addressing 7 days or 1 month rule for applicants.
Even for in-country (UK) applicants, if they have yet not completed 12 months then they too have to show GBP 1600 for each dependent.
I will retiterate what I wrote earlier. Since its not clear if one month old banks statements, of a non-UK bank account, would be acceptable, I will try to implement 7 days old rule for all the bank statements.
Mehta, Can you let me know where UKVisa says its content is only applicable for out-country applicants. Such information would be great.
Thanks,
Rajesh.
