Query Regarding 'Tier 1 (general) DEPENDENT' visa query

[vivekbhadra]

Hi,

I am working in UK for the last 6 and a half months under Tier 1 general visa and now I am about to apply for my wife and child's dependant visa. My question is:

1. do I need to submit two copies of the original documents? Particularly I have single copy of the tenancy agreemnt, also the NOC letter from agency, my work reference letter, signed copy of salary slip etc.

2. Does my wife should write two seperate cover letters or should she write one? Bit confused in this part. Same for me, should I have to write two seperate sponsorship letter or should I write one and mention both of them in the same.

3. The last is the maintenance fund, and it seems to be the most confusing one. I have £4000 (£1600 + £1600 + £800) in savings account maintained for the last more than 3 months now. Also I have two fixed deposits each woth £1500 and these are encashable on demand. Should I also get FD certificate from the bank and attach it with the savings bank account statement and declare I also have these funds on top of the £4000. Or it will create more confusion for them.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

Given that you have your leave, you need only show maintenance for your dependants who are applying.

You don't need to show proof of accommodations for this category of leave. The maintenance money is sufficient.
