Maintenance Funds for Dependents

[tier1_abc]

Hi to All,

I am due for tier1 extension in September 2012 and i am in the UK since Aug. 2011 and my dependents has joined me in Nov. 11.

By Sep. 12, i will be in the UK for more than 12 months and hence my main. funds will be £ 900 and my 2 dependents 2*600 = 1200, thus total £ 2100 i need to show for 3 months.

my doubt is that by sep. 12, my dependents will not complete the 12 months stay in UK so do they need to show £ 1600 each. 99% i am sure that they need to show only £600 each as i will complete 13 months in UK by sep. 12., but bit confused so want to confirm. please answer my query

Also i would like to know is ther any chnages regarding the duration of 3 months period.

Thanks

The maintenance funds is based on the period the main applicant has been in the UK. Whether or not the dependents have been here for 12 months or less is irrelevant
So yes, your funds if you apply in september would be £600 for each dependant
About any changes, its best you keep reading guidance notes and other immigration news regularly on UKBA website

Just to clarify here that from 14 June 2012 there are Increased funds required for Tier 1 applications under which if Dependents of Tier 1 applicant who has been in the UK for less than 12 months will have to show a maintenance fund of £1,800.

Refer to the UKBA link below:

Hi Guaravd,

Thanks for the details actually i have gone through the links and has got confused.

So in my case i need to maintain £1800 each for dependents, since they are in the UK for less than 12 months.

If you compare with the previous main. funds limit, it seems bit confusting right, thus i want to clarify.

So i need to maintain £900 for me and £3600 for 2, so total i need to maintain £ 4500. please confirm

Thanks
