Maintenance Funds

[AJCapri]

Hello

I am already in the UK from March 2010 holding Tier 1 (General) Migrant visa. I have two dependents wife and daughter in India. I applied Tier 1 dependent visa for them. My wife got visa recently however daughter's visa is refused. As a result both are still in India.

If I do fresh application for my daughter how much maintenance fund should I have in the UK bank saving account over the last 3 months?

1. Is it GBP 1600/- or
2. Is it GBP 3200/- or
3. Is it GBP 6000/- (main applicant - 2800 + Dependent1 - 1600 + Dependent2 - 1600)?

I know most probable answer is out of 1 or 2 however I wanted to confirm it in this forum before doing any other mistake. If answer is 3 then I am gone.

Thanks.

I think it would be 4000 (Main Applicant 800+ Dependant1 1600+ Dependant2 1600).

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).

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.

But, there are also people who have got visa for dependants without showing maintenance for main applicant. Read below post

Hello aruni4470

GBP 800/- for main applicant is when he/she is here in the UK for more than 6 months. I am just 3 months old here. Will it be GBP 6000/- in my case?

Senior members of the group please help. It is immediate.

Thanks.

As per the guidance notes for dependants of Tier 1...

Family member of a Tier 1 Migrant
If the Tier 1 Migrant is outside the United Kingdom or has been present in the United Kingdom 40. 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.

this would mean...


£1600 for your daughter
£1600 for your wife and
£ 800 for your self.

or a total of at least £4000

Hope this helps
