I am in very much confusion on maintanance funds. can you please calrify me. Becase my spouse visa got rejected when we applied together. I want to apply for dependent visa again now. I came to UK 2 months ago and joined on job. I have 2 payslips now. I want to apply for dependent visa. So
Do I need to show funds GBP2800( main ) +GBP1600(dep)
OR GBP800(main) +GBP1600(dep)
OR GBP1600(dep) only
In dependent guide says GBP800(main) +GBP1600(dep) .. but it is saying about Dependent Tier 1 migrant visa . But mine is dependent Tier general visa. ( Hope both are not same. Because of this only lot of confusion on the maintance funds i think)
I have sent my query to BHC and also VFS. they said I need to show GBP1600(dep)
Still i am in confusion . can anyone pls calrify me on this..
Please read VSF reply and my below query carefully

Thank you for contacting VFS UK Visa Helpdesk.
With regard to your query, please be informed that your souse needs to maintain 1600 GBP. These amounts must be held in your personal bank account for a minimum period of 3 months immediately preceding and dated no more than one month prior to the date you submit your application. The balance should not fall below the required minimum at any time during the 3 month period.
The applicant can show two different accounts and it will be considered so long as it has been maintained in the accounts for a period of three months in order to satisfy the maintenance criteria.
You need to consider the exchange rate in www.oanda.com on the day of submission.

My Query
------------------------
----- Original Message ----- From: --------------
Hi ,I have got HSMP visa but my spouse visa got refused. I appealed against refusal of my dependent visa. As it is taking long time to hear the decision, If I want to go for new application, can you please let me know1.How much amount Do I need to maintain for 3 months?
Do I need to maintain the funds for dependent only? or Do I need to maintain funds for me also? if yes , how much amount I need to maintain for me ?(as I am already employed in UK)
2. What is the exchange rate will be considered?
3. Can I show the funds in my two bank accounts? Because my spouse visa got refused on the grounds of insuffiecient funds though I have maintained sufficient funds for myself and my spouse( GBP 2800 +1600=GBP 4400). I have maintained the funds in my two bank accounts.
As evidence of funds , I have submitted my two bank statements. ( ICICI bank statement and CITI bank statement).
But,in the " NOTICE OF IMMIGRATION DECISION" for the "REFUSAL OF ENTRY CLEARANCE" , ECO has considered only ICICI bank statement. And also the rate of exchange on the day we have submitted the application was 1GBP=INR 79.9921 But ECO has taken it as 1GBP=INR 84.Please provide the answers for my queries and confirm on the above things.
Appreciate your quick response.
