I'm living and working in UK since 23-Jul-2007. I travelled to UK on WP and I got Tier1 visa on 05-Nov-2008. I'm getting married in 25-Jun-2009 and planning to bring my wife to UK. I would need to apply for her T1 dependent visa in India. Can anyone please suggest what is the minimum maintenance funds that I need to maintain for 3 months in my account in my case? Is it just £533 or 800£+533£ ? Please suggest.
Thanks

For example, the Tier 1 migrant has
39. been in the UK for 6 months and is making an application at the same time as his/her spouse and two children. He/she must show that he/she has £1600 for his spouse and a further £1600 for each child, in addition to £800 required for his/her own support. In total the family will require evidence that they hold £5600 in available funds (£1600 x 3 = £4800 + £800).
If the same Tier 1 migrant and his family
40. had been present in the UK for two years, they would require evidence that they held £2399 (£533 x 3 = £1599 + £800) in available funds.
If a dependant applies separately from
41. the Tier 1 migrant, there must still be enough funds to support each member of the family. Therefore in the example above, if the family has a third child, the main applicant has been in the United Kingdom for two years and the family applies for leave to remain for the third child separately, they must provide evidence that they have an additional £533 in available funds.
I think you need 800+533. It is a bit confusing, but according to paragraph 41, I think it's 800+533. You could go through the policy
