Changes in Dependents Rule applicable from 9th July 2012::
<capy pasted from UKBA web-site>
The changes include:
introducing a new minimum income threshold of £18,600 for sponsoring the settlement in the UK of a spouse or partner,
or fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner of non-European Economic Area (EEA) nationality, with a higher threshold for any children also sponsored;
£22,400 for one child and an additional £2,400 for each further child;
Question No.1:
If I have got a wife and 3 children, what is the total minimum threshold income I need to show:
Is it (18600+22400+2400+2400) = GBP 45800?
18600 = wife;
22400 = 1st child
2400 = 2nd child
2400 = 3rd child
or Is it (22400+2400+2400) = GBP 27200?
22400 = wife + 1st child
2400 = 2nd child
2400 = 3rd child
Question No. 2?
Does this rule effect the the Minimum Maintenance Fund required to keep for a minimum of 3 months period?
