What maintenance (funds) dependants must have

To be eligible for permission to stay (leave to remain) as a dependant of a tier 2 applicant, your dependant must show that they have enough personal funds to support themselves for the entire time of stay here.


If the main applicant under tier 2 is outside the United Kingdom or has been in the United Kingdom for less than 12 months, the family member must show that the main applicant or the dependant has at least £533 to support the dependant as well as the funds needed to support the main applicant. This is unless the sponsor of the migrant has agreed to maintain and accommodate the dependant until the end of the first month.

If the main applicant has been present in the United Kingdom for 12 months or more, the main applicant or the family member of the tier 2 applicant must have £533 to support themselves.

you only need to prove maintenance for ur dependent which is £533 per dependent kept in account for 90 days. you don't need to prove funds for yourself because u r already in UK. So if u have only one dependents (wife) then u only need to show £533 .

sister dpnt visa

Post by ammu28 » Sat Apr 09, 2011 1:52 pm

hi,

would like to ask question on behalf of my sister.
She is in Tier2(Nurse) from November 2010 which is less than 1 year.

She would like to bring her husband and daughter to uk.

If I read correctly,

What maintenance (funds) dependants must have

To be eligible for permission to stay (leave to remain) as a dependant of a tier 2 applicant, your dependant must show that they have enough personal funds to support themselves for the entire time of stay here.

You and your dependants should have already assessed the potential living costs, based on past living expenses, to make sure that you have enough funds to support yourselves.

If you or your dependants are unable to meet the maintenance requirements, your application will be refused.

If the main applicant under tier 2 is outside the United Kingdom or has been in the United Kingdom for less than 12 months, the family member must show that the main applicant or the dependant has at least £533 to support the dependant as well as the funds needed to support the main applicant. This is unless the sponsor of the migrant has agreed to maintain and accommodate the dependant until the end of the first month.

If the main applicant has been present in the United Kingdom for 12 months or more, the main applicant or the family member of the tier 2 applicant must have £533 to support themselves.

For example, if you are the main applicant and you are bringing two children with you to the United Kingdom, you must have your £800 for your maintenance (funds) and £1,066 for your children, so a total of £1,866.

says she need

800+ 533 + 533 for her dependant application.

Is this correct or she need 533 + 533 + 533 ?

Could anyone help me please?
Regards
Ammu

She needs £800(for herself)+£533+£533 = £1866 kept in bank for 90 days
