Hi all,
I am planning to apply for Tier dependent visa for dependents. I hold a TIER 1 visa till 2015.
I first entered UK in November, 2008 and hold a valid visa at all times since then. Left the UK in October,2010 and have come back to the UK in November ,2012.
Till date since the first entry in 2008, I have been in the UK for about 27 months but with break in stay.
I have been maintaining funds to be covered considering/assuming I have been in the UK for a period more than 12 months. But i have been advised by a Visa consultant while preparing for dependent visas that my assumption is wrong as it should be 12 months period since the last entry.
I am confused as the guidance does not mention about any breaks in stay or like period of 12 months in last 'X' months ?
Any comment or guidance on this highly appreciated!
Thanks,
George
