Hi,Hemant30 wrote:I have applied for dependent visa (my wife and kids) on 15 May Friday I got stamped on 18 May (Monday) and received in hand on 22 May (Friday).
I have applied from Mumbai and I am still in India.
Hope this will help for tracking those who are waiting.
I have always disputed it. In this particular case the main applicant was not in UK at the time of applying for dependent's VISA (although he already had T-1 VISA). The spirit of the law/rule is they should have sufficient funds for maintenance when they arrive in UK - 2800 (main applicant)+1600*3 (3 dependents). If that were not the requirement, what will stop people from not using the same funds which were used for the main applicant? -defeating the sole purpose of having the maintenance fund requirement in the first place.dima wrote:Tx,Hemant30 wrote:2800 (self) + 1600 (wife) + 1600 * 2 (kids)
One more querry.
As main applicant has aleady has visa, Its not necessary to show 2800 for 3 month period. we need to show total 6000 ( self and 2 dependnets)GBP , ..However, 1600+1600 should be for 3 months period.
Yep agree... we need to show 2800(self)+1600+1600 ( Total 6000 GBP)dependnets. My query is, even though the main applicant already has visa , is this 2800 GBP should be kept for 3 months ( It need not be i guess) and of course 1600+1600 GBP shoud be for 3 months for the dependents.push_hsmp wrote:I have always disputed it.

Thanks mate...mghe wrote:hello Vijay,
I am also planning to apply for dependent visa for my wife in a couple of months. I will be on my holidays in India during her application. Here is my understanding....
Since you are already in the UK i dont think u need to show 2800 GBP
so
..800(self)+1600*no.of dependents
..800(self)+533*no of dependents - if u were in UK for more than 2 years
U need 2800(self)+1600*no of dependents only if u already have ur Tier1 visa but have not been in the UK.
but I will still wait for advice from seniors.

40. For example, the Tier 1 migrant has
been in the UK for 6 months and is making
an application at the same time as his/her
spouse and two children. He/she must show
that he/she has £1600 for his spouse and a
further £1600 for each child, in addition to
£800 required for his/her own support. In total
the family will require evidence that they hold
£5600 in available funds (£1600 x 3 = £4800
+ £800).
