Clarity Over Fund maintenance Tier -1 (General)-Dependant

Hi Forum,

I'm posting this query in this forum to get a clarity over fund maintenance for Tier-1 (General) -Dependant Visa applying OUTSIDE of UK.

Visa applying for :
---------------------
Tier-1 (General) - Dependant Visa using VAF -10 form / going to apply by 2nd week of JULY 2011 in VFS office,chennai.

Scenario :
------------
i'm in UK for close to 3 years,planning to bring my wife (dependant) to UK by end of JULY 2011.ONLY one dependant.

About my visa :
-------------------
MAY 2008 - APR 2010 (lived in UK under HSMP)

APR 2010 - untill now (under Tier - 1 (General) living in UK ) -- switched to Tier-1 during visa extension. (visa valid till APR 2013)

Query:
---------

With respect to FUND MAINTENANCE,after reading the guidelines for Tier-1 (General)-Dependant (applying outside of UK),i understood the following points..

PLEASE CLARIFY whether my understanding is correct,

1.Funds should be in my UK account for a continuous 90 days period before applying for dependant visa for my wife in india.Even dependant can also maintain the fund,however in my case i'm maintaining the fund.

2.Fund amount : 800£ + 533£ (for dependant) = 1333 £ for 90 days..

Since,i'm in UK for more than 12 months i understood from the guidelines that it's enough to maintain 533£ per dependant otherwise 1600£ per dependant apart from 800£ for the main applicant (in this case,it's me).


ANSWERS TO MY QUERY IS MUCH APPRECIATED.

Thanks.

could any one clarify my above query please.. Thanks.

hello there, you seem to have simlar specs as mine. My wife is also applying in july and I am maintaining funds just like you. So all good. (£800+533) for 90days is what I have understood.

Do not forget to add other specified documents.

All the best.
