HI, I am really confused about the Tier1 dependent funds maintenance. I am living in the UK since October 2011, and now I need to apply for a dependent visa for my wife, who is in India. How much funds should I maintain in my account? The policy guidance says that it has to be 1600£ + additional ...

you can claim age points now for your extension. The age for claiming points during extension = your age at the time of your initial application, if this is your first application for extension

Thanks for your response.

Does your No mean:
- it is not possible to switch from Tier 1 to Tier2 dependent
or
- it is not possible to switch from T1 to T2 dependent from within UK?

One more question, if it is possible to switch, can I switch from within the UK?

When my Tier 1 expire, I may not qualify for T1 extension, given the new point based system. My spouse is on Tier 2. Is it possible to switch from Tier 1 to Tier 2 dependent visa?

@coolest
i had a look and I put my resume to around 5 companies last week for matching roles. I am yet to get a call ! I am actually surprised that there is no call yet.

@friend..
i have the same question. right now the market isnt very good. (not just for vlsi/asic) there are less jobs because of the bad market.
how far have you reached with your visa? if you are planning to resign before finding a job; i would suggest: hang on for some time

anyone into ASIC design here? I have just started to look out for a job (sitting in India ; havent resigned yet) How is the jobs market doing these days? I dont see as many open positions on monster as i used to see couple of months back ! what do you guys say?

you could look at part time study while working on Tier1. of course it would take longer than the full time, but you would be in a comfortable situation for FLR
