Family member of a Tier 2 Migrant wrote: 45. The family member of the Tier 2 Migrant must have £533 to support himself/herself.
46. This requirement can be met by:
• having savings of £533 which must have been held for at least three months prior to the date of application; or
• the Tier 2 A-rated sponsor providing a written undertaking that, should it become necessary, it will maintain and accommodate the family member until the end of the first month of employment. The undertaking may be limited provided the limit is at least £533 per family member.
47. For example, the Tier 2 Migrant is making an application at the same time as his/her spouse and two children. He/she must show that he/she has £533 for his/her spouse and a further £533 for each child, in addition to £800 required for his/her own support. In total the family will require
evidence that they hold £2399 in available funds (£533 x 3 = £1599 + £800).
48. However, a family member of a Tier 2 Migrant is only required to provide evidence that he/she meets the maintenance requirement when the Tier 2 Migrant is also required to meet the maintenance requirement.
49. For example, where the Tier 2 Migrant is submitting an application because he/she is changing employment within Tier 2, neither the Tier 2 Migrant nor any family member is required to submit evidence that they meet the maintenance requirement.
50. If a family member applies separately from the Tier 2 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 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.
