Maintenance funds for FLR(M)

nomibhai · Post by **nomibhai** » Tue Aug 21, 2012 5:49 pm

I am going to switch my wifes visa to dependent of settled person from dependent of Tier 1. She arrived in UK back in 2008.Question, do i need to have a minimum balance on my bank statements? What if the balance is part of the overdraft for last 6 months? I'm earning more than 25K. Is it safe to send application with such balance on my bank statements or should i add funds to avoid showing overdraft amount?

You need to have a salary of 18.6K, so you will be fine and it does not matter if you are currently in the black or the red.

If his wife already has leave as a PBS dependent applied for before 9th July then the new income limit will not apply.

Op how long has your wife had leave as tier 1 dependent?

You still have to meet the old financial requirement,just not the new one-s
you will need to provide evidence of your income etc as indicated on the form.

Thanks for the replies. The question i was asked is how long my wife has been on dependent visa.Well shes been here since Sep 2008 as dependent. My question is, if the old rules applies, do i need to have minimum balance in my bank account every month? Or HO only looks at how much salary was paid into the bank every month regardless of whether the balance was in positive or negative?

I will appreciate if someone can reply as i dont want to get the lawyers involved as had bad experiences with them and spent thousands of pounds.
