1. IMO, its not accepted..I suggest you to see few of the threads started by others to follow the same.
2.FDs should be OK , as long as you get a letter from the bank saying that the cash can be withdrwan from the FD at any point of time.
3. I suggest, to be on the safer side , take a letter from the Landlord OR the Tenency agreement.

Hi ,

1. Joint account with their mum/dad but not wid their spouse

" Your joint account must be with your spouse " ... this is the best i have searched and asked so many people and clearly shows your name .. dont take risk and open a fresh account in your dependent name ...

2. Fixed deposit account

You have to arrange following papers from the bank as they are really ....hard in this matter

a) FD is in the form that you can " take out money all the time " .. it's important

b) Bank statement for FD and it will really nice if you can go and take out some money from it .. with this transaction , EC officer will be relaxed that you have FD from which you can get money out 24/7

c) Your balance for 3 months

You need a proof of residence and land lord is ..well! good source

Thanks

funny thing..I emailed UKBA at their public enqiry office in UK
This is wat i wrote
Dear Sir/Madam
I am here in UK under tier 1 general migrant scheme. My wife who is in India wants to apply for visa as my dependant.
For her maintenance funds requirements we wish to show joint accounts but the accounts we have are on
1. My (main applicant) name and my mothers name
2. Her (family member) name and her mothers name.
I request you to please clarify if these account will be accepted for her visa purposes or not?

yours thankfully
Jaswinder.

and here is the reply

Dear Jaswinder,



Thank you for contacting VFS UK Visa Helpdesk.



Please note as per the guidelines of UKBA website, if you wish to rely on a joint account as evidence of available funds, you must be named on the account along with one or more other named individual. In addition to that a written consent from the joint a/c holder is also required.

Warm Regards
