TIER 2 DEPENDENT VISA -MAINTENANCE FUNDS

[arjit]

HI,

I CAME TO UK ON TIER 2 (GENERAL MIGRANT VISA) IN APRIL 2013 AND I AM CURRENTLY LIVING IN UK. NOW I WISH TO BRING MY WIFE TO UK,AND SHE WOULD MAKE HER APPLICATION FROM INDIA.

HOWEVER I HAVE MAINTAINED THE MAINTENANCE FUND EQUIVALENT TO 2000 POUNDS I.E. 2LACS (CONVERSION RATE OF 100) IN MY INDIAN BANK ACCOUNT FOR MORE THAN 3 MONTHS, ALSO MY WIFE HAS BLOCKED AMOUNT EQUIVALENT TO 2000 POUNDS (2 LACS) SEPARATLY IN HER INDIAN SAVING BANK ACCOUNT.

WILL I BE FINE WITH THE MAINTENANCE FUND CLAUSE OR WAS I REQUIRED TO BLOCK THIS MONEY IN MY UK ACCOUNT?

PLEASE HELP.

I am having the same problem. i am in UK and wife in India. Does she need to show 600 pound in her bank account for 3 months or is it ok for me to show 1600 (900 for myself and 600 for her) in my bank account

I understand that, but i have maintained that fund in my indian bank account rather than in my uk bank account is that a problem?
