Hi,
My employer by mistake selected N to certify for the maintenance fund requirement which means I have to prove the maintenance fund, can I submit my dependent bank statement to cover the maintenance fund for both me and my child due to a shortage of funds in my account? We 3 will be applying together.
Thanks
Yes you can supply your spouse's financial.
Hi,

Hi,
I am going to submit my spouse's bank statement as evidence of maintenance fund. I have booked the appointment. Should I book an appointment for my dependents as well on the same day to submit my application to consider my application to use the spouse maintenance fund as evidence?
Thanks

Hi,
I am filling out a child-dependent application. There is a question about evidence of maintenance funds.
I will be submitting my spouse's bank statement as evidence for a maintenance fund. I will be using the same for my child as well.
Should I say Yes or No to the below question or should my spouse provide a consent letter?
Consent for the home office to request verification checks for joint accounts or third-party support
Are you relying on evidence from someone else to prove your financial circumstances.?
There is a downloadable form for the declaration of third-party consent.
Thanks

I have booked the appointment but there is no other slot to book for spouse and child. Can we go on different dates? I hope all the dependent applications will be linked.

Definitely you can check and book for another date. If it allows you to withouth cancelling existing appointment, can also check if able to amend the appointment for another date to book all together.
Which service provide lr are you using...VFS?

Booked an appointment with USCIS in the US and selected a document return courier service from VSF Global to deliver the passport.
Will check the other dates. Will it be an issue if the main applicant and dependants submit applications in different dates?

If you cancel appointment, that's lost and may not getbit again.
Could be better to keep appointment and book another date for dependent. Not submitting all together on same day won't be an issue.

Many thanks, AmazonianX .
I am the main applicant and submitting my spouse's bank statement for the maintenance fund. If we both apply on different dates will they consider the spouse's bank statement submitted along with my application?

There should be no issue about that. The details you gave were as per arrangement at time of application.
If possible do have evidence of the new place/permanent accommodation at hand when you are entering UK.

I am confused will they process the application so soon in 1 day . Not sure if approved or rejected until I receive the courier . !
Thanks
