I am out of country applicant. I am planning to apply for Tier 1 G in next couple of weeks.

I will apply for my wife's dependent visa after I get mine stamped. So for the moment we are not applying together. She will apply later on and travel to UK once I get job there.

Please can somebody help me with answering Part 7, point 7.1 of the PBS APPENDIX 1document.

IS the highlighted quote above only valid if we are applying together?


What Should I answer to question 7.1

2800+1600=£ 4400, (As she will be joining me in next 12 months)
At the time of application, if she is not applying with you you only need 2800
or

2800 - As I am not sending her application along with mine.


Also Can I apply for her visa while I am in India and then travel to UK together?
Yes you can. if you are applying her visa, then you need to maintain 2800 + 1600/ dependant for three months. But bear in mind when you apply for her separately you have to pay full application fee for the dependant, as compared to less fee when you apply her visa with yours.

Thanks,

From that second part of the statement, my understanding is that even if you are not applying for dependant now and are planning to apply in the next 12 months from your arrival in UK, you should maintain £2800+£1600.
