You need Maintenance funds of £800 + £533

Please go through Page 9 of HO Dependents Guidance Paragraph 41 which gives an example..

or check at this LINK

41. If the Tier 1 Migrant has been in the United Kingdom for 12 months or more, each family
member of the Tier 1 Migrant must have £533 to support himself/herself.

Read Tier 1 Dependent policy guidance carefully (particulary para 40-44).

[tvn_ramesh]

Maintenance funds are calculated on basis of the time the principal applicant has lived in the UK as a Tier 1 migrant .... not the time he / she might have lived in the UK on the whole (under different immigration categories).

Read Tier 1 Dependent policy guidance carefully (particulary para 40-44).

Sushmehta.. i am not sure about your above message when i switched from WP to Tier1(G) i show maintenance of 800+ 533 + 533 and i was not on Tier1(G) Migrant.. but only on the basis of the fact that i lived in UK for more than 12months...

Can you please show me a link where it says that the Main Applicant has lived in UK AS a Tier1 Migrant ...
this will help me not to misguide others in future.. no offence pls..

thanks appreciate your help

40. If the Tier 1 Migrant is outside the United Kingdom or has been present in the United Kingdom for less than 12 months, each family member of the Tier 1 Migrant must show that he/she, the Tier 1 Migrant, or (for children) his/her other parent who is also legally present in the United Kingdom has at least £1600 to support him/her; this is in addition to any funds the Tier 1 Migrant needs to prove he/she has enough money to support himself/herself.
41. If the Tier 1 Migrant has been in the United Kingdom for 12 months or more, each family member of the Tier 1 Migrant must have £533 to support himself/herself.
42. 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).
43. If the same Tier 1 Migrant and his family had been present in the UK for two years, they would require evidence that they held £2399 (£533 x 3 = £1599 + £800) in available funds.
44. If a family member applies separately from the Tier 1 Migrant, there must still be enough funds to support each member of the family. Therefore in the example above, if the family has a third child, the main applicant has been in the United Kingdom for two years and the family applies for leave to remain for the third child separately, they must provide evidence that they have an additional £533 in available funds.

My understanding is based on these paragraphs from the dependent policy guide. But I stand corrected if it is not so.

And thanks for highlighting a potential incorrect advice (therefore earlier post edited). Appreciate it!

dude u need to show 800 + 533.... dont get confused... Ramesh is right....

[geriatrix]

To be on the safe side (and if it is doable), why not show the necessary maintenance funds assumming you have lived in UK for less than 12 months. After all, the amount of maintenance funds to be shown when the principal applicant has lived in UK for less than 12 months are HIGHER than when the principal applicant has lived in UK for more than 12 months. So the caseworker will no problem when he sees that you have shown more money than needed.

This said, my understanding here is based on my intrepretation of the policy guidance, which, as tvn_ramesh has highlighted is contrary to his own practical experience. Therefore, you could follow my suggestion (as explained above) or wait for some other members to confirm one way or the other!

Dont get misled by Tier-1 Migrant quote above. Just forget about dependant's application - do you think the highlighted statement above makes any sense for the main applicant? If the main applicant is applying at the same time as his dependants, would he be Tier-1 Migrant at that time? Tier-1 Migrant above refers to Tier-1 main applicant and not necessarily (covering extension cases here) someone who already holds Tier-1 VISA

Yes you can re apply immediately once your documents are ready, but with new fees need to be paid..

yes you can use the same documents but you need to make sure the latest date on the Bankstatement falls within 1month on the date you apply..

Dependent application form
Sponser letter from main applicant
COpy of Main applicants Passport especially with the new visa in it..
Birth Certificate
