pls Help - Tier 1(General) - Fund Requirement Query

[ruka]

I am hoping to apply under tier 1 (General).
I am hoping to apply first and thinking of getting the wife and two kids once I am established in the UK.

I have a few questions

1. When I apply for myself, (with the hope of getting my dependents to join me in UK once I am settled) , do I have to
show supporting funds for my dependents as well. Or do I need to show only the main applicant's amount.

2. When We are in the UK on this scheme (during the first three years), are my kids entitled to receive free education in the UK.

I hope some one would clarify these.

Thanks a lot in advance

I can answer part of your questions.

1. When I apply for myself, (with the hope of getting my dependents to join me in UK once I am settled) , do I have to
show supporting funds for my dependents as well. Or do I need to show only the main applicant's amount.

You can only show funds for yourself, but in your application there is a point where it asks whether any of your dependants are accompanying you later, put NO there, anyway you can get your dependants visas processed later after you get yours without any issues.

on Item 2, you can send your kids to school in the UK. You have duty of care to do this for your kids. You can do search for schools where you intend to be located. The Ofsted website would be good starting point as it provides inspection reports of schools.

Thanks a lot indeed for all your replies.

In my application if I say 'NO' to ' the point where It asks if I my dependents accompany me, Do I have to wait more than a year in the UK to apply for their visa. Or can I do it before that.

Can you please tell me where I can get the guide lines and application for TIER1 general to apply from outside UK. The link provided in the sri lankan site (which is indicated in the home office site ) does not work.

So can some one please help.

Thanks a lot

I don't think you would have an issue, indeed I did the same, already applied visa for my wife as my dependant and waiting for the results.

Thanks ramgsk,

So once you are in the UK, when you apply for your dependents, you need to show supporting fund. For this can you use the same supporting fund you showed for your self provided the balance is maintained.

thanks
