Does sponsor certifying maintenance apply to dependents even if they are travelling separately?

Post by ilbass2309 » Sun May 30, 2021 12:01 pm

I moved to the UK on a PBS Skilled worker visa two months ago, and my wife will be joining me very shortly. Today, when we were going through my CoS, I noticed that it mentioned a "Y" in front of "Tick to certify maintenance for migrant (and dependents if applicable). I knew that they had certified my maintenance, but I wasn't aware that it applied to my wife too. However, does this stay valid if my wife is applying over 3 months after my application? If not, would I need to provide bank statements - and do they need to be UK banks or can be submit statements from her local bank in our home country. Thanks :)

The sponsor's certification of maintenance in the CoS covers both you and your dependants irrespective of when the dependants travel to the UK. No further documents needed for your dependants.
