Tier 2 Dependent Visa

[umarnazar]

Hi All,
I have read the forum and UKVI website. I am still confused as in the guidance notes on the website no where it states about my current situation.
I have been on tier 2 visa in UK for more than 3years now. My wife currently in Pakistan wants to join me.
I have two questions regarding the maintanence funds:
1. Does she need to attach a proof of only 630£ or 945£+630£
please can somebody clarify this and also provide an official link.
2. Do they need to be in my bank account or can it be in hers?

Regards,
Umae

Thank you for the quick reply.
But is there any guideline stating that?

I have just called UKVI, and they said I need to show both 945+630£ .

only £630 (or a letter from your sponsor certifying maintenance for her)

please can somebody clarify this and also provide an official link.

Each dependant must have £630 available to them whether they apply with you or separately. This is in addition to the £945 you must have to support yourself.

You must have proof you have the money, and that it’s been in your bank account or your dependant’s bank account for at least 90 days before you or they apply.

Example You must have £2,205 if you want to bring your partner and one child with you to the UK (£945 to support yourself plus £630 for your partner and £630 for your child).

This is from https://www.gov.uk/tier-2-general/family-members

Also available on page 13 of the Point based dependent policy guidance document https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... _07-14.pdf

Still can't understand whether I need to save 630 or 630+945
