Dependent Visa Form and Funds

Hi experts

I entered HSMP program in 2006 before December 2006 changes came into affect. Then I got tier 1 in 2008 as extension. I have to apply visa for my wife and have the following queries:

1) Which form I should use?

2) Do I need to have minimum 1600 (800 each as manitenance of funds) pounds per month for last three months or it is not required?

3) Is it required that my wife should pass IELTS?

Thanks and best regards

2) Do I need to have minimum 1600 (800 each as manitenance of funds) pounds per month for last three months or it is not required? As you have been here more than 12 months, the requirement will be £533 for her (last 3 months)
3) Is it required that my wife should pass IELTS? Not requiredas she is not the main applicant

Thanks and best regards

Based on UKVisas website...the £690 is for the main applicant and since you are already here in the UK, the valid fee is £270 per dependant.

good luck.

PS> pls don't hijack someone else post as it tend deviate from the original question of the first OP.

Dear Markie

Thank you very much.

1) Form in the link is PBS but I am entered before PBS started in Dec 2006. And I also got extension in 2008 as per judiucial review without PBS. Do my wife still need to use the form present in the link?

2) Actually in March, the funds in my account went up to £300 for some days. Should I maintain the funds first and then apply late to show £533 per month?

3) Clear for me

Dear Markie

This is her first attempt and from Pakistan.

Dear experts

Would you please answer my queries?

Thanks and regards
