Adequate maintenance:- benefits rates from April 2012

im just getting this gut feeling my wife might get visa the first time. if not then on appeal because my sister got her husbnds on appeal.

Hi Everyone

Just to clarify for myself,wife and the stepdaughter how many rooms or bedrooms I need to have? Would a living room and a bedroom sufficient to satisfy the adequate accommodation visa rule?

Any help would be help.

Thanks

hi,
I wanted to apply for FLR(M) as my husband gets ILR on the basis of 10 years.

Q. I am on PBS dependant visa since 2006. 3 extensions 2 on student dependant and last on Post Study Work which starts 20th July 2012 to 20th July 2014.

Do i have to show 18,600 income as i am dependant since 2006 or not.
My last extension after 9th July 2012. Do i have to show 18,600 maintenance ??
Any work around as i dont have less cash savings and both have only 1 job which is around 12000 per year.

Thanks

You have to show the Financial Requirement (at least £18600) you can combine your spouse's earnings with yours.

Hello Amber,

appreciate the time you take to help people! Genuinely

My basic salary is 17,500 but I work in sales and my gross monthly income varies from £1580 -2100 (£1320-1800 take home) because of commission and bonus. I have paid 800 tax and 545 national insurance since November, is six months of earnings substantial enough or am I below the earnings threshold? I also rent from the council - rent £300 a month and council tax is £90

Thanks

Michael

Did you use the calculation on the first page of this thread Michael?

thanks for your reply.

Q. If earnings and cash savings do not meet the requirement, what other option will be?
can i switch to any other visa from UK eg. student or any other? i m on dependant visa since 2006.

Q. If i get FLR(M) visa , can i apply if SET(M) after that, as i have passed more than 2 years on dependant.

As you have mentioned above that i have to show financial requirement, there is another question:

I applied PSW visa on April 2012 and then got 23-jul-2012 t0 23-jul-2014. so the rules will apply before 9th july 2012 as i have applied before that ??

Will that be the case?

I have tried but I cannot work it out : /

Is the maintenance strictly based on my salary which is set at 17,500 or my actual earnings?

do i need to add family premium if i have no child?

No salman2014.

michaelknight, what is your Net income including benefits? How many child have you got?

Hey Amber,

My lowest net income per month is £1,340 , my highest is £1513 per month, fluctuating because i work in sales. No children or on any benefits..

Michael

no benefits my wife net income per week is 294gbp

And the rent/mortgage and council tax?

My rent is £300 per month and council tax is £85

Then you should have no issue meeting adequate maintenance.

Really? Thats great. Even though my basic salary is 17,500 and I only have 6 months payslips?

Michael

We are on about adequate maintenance here! Do you have to meet a specific requirement? Without knowing your actual immigration issues I can't tell. I assume by you posting here it is adequate maintenance.

Sorry! I cant get my head around it.. This is the thread I made

the rent is 600 a month council tax is paid by her uncle thanks

Hi,
Am I correct in assuming that children who are British citizens are exempt from financial requirements?
My wife and her daughter from previous marriage are applying for a spouse and dependent child visa.
We have two other children who are British citizens.
So my weekly calculations are as follows

£113.70 for couple
£17.45 family premium
£66.33, for each dependent child

NOT

£66.33 x 3, for each dependent child

Many thanks!

For adequate maintenance you must include all children, regardless of nationality.

Thank you Amber, even though it's not the answer I expected hear.

Could you help me with another question?

I own an apartment abroad where we are living at the moment. I am planning to let it once we've moved over to the UK.
Would a letter for a letting agent suggesting the running rent range would suffice or I physically need to let it first before I can use that evidence of funding?
Obviously, we would be staying in that apartment until we've moved over.

Many thanks!
