I am on Tier 2 general and my wife Tier 2 Dependant. I left my job ( 60 days left to leave the country) as my wife landed a job who are ready to sponsor her but she doesn't have 900 + 600 pounds in her UK account.
So my question:
I talked to the banks and even if i made my account joint now, they wont provide statements showing her name for the last 3 months. Can i show my statements to prove we have the money as she is my wife ?
If not can she show her indian accounts to show the money ? Does ukba object that ?
Could you pls give me my options as she has to get tier 2 general so we can stay back
It seems that both you and your wife are present in the UK, you as a T2G migrant and your wife as your dependant. Both your leaves have been curtailed to 60 days because you lost your job.
Your wife has a job offer from a potential sponsor. However, she cannot switch in country from PBS dependant status to T2G and would have to leave the UK and apply from her home country after having been assigned a restricted CoS. If her A-rated sponsor is prepared to certify maintenance she would not need to show £900 held for 90 days.
Equally, you would not be able to switch from T2G to PBS dependant in-country and would also have to apply for a PBS dependant visa from your home country.
Alternatively, if you manage to find a new job and the new sponsor assigns an unrestricted CoS to you, you can make an in-country change of employment application before your leave expires (or max. 28 days after). If your application is successful your wife can continue to stay with you in the UK if she is happy to carry on as your dependant, but if she wishes to take up her job offer she would have to apply for T2G entry clearance from her home country (see above).
