This clearly states that the main applicant also needs to show funds for the main applicant too according to how long you have been in the UK

ALSO read this under policy guidance: under Maintenance Requirement -page 7


29. If the Tier 1 migrant is outside the United .
Kingdom or has been present in the United
Kingdom for less than 12 months, each family
member of the Tier 1 migrant must show that
he/she, the Tier 1 migrant, or (for children) his/
her other parent who is also legally present
in the United Kingdom has at least £1600 to
support him/her; this is in addition to any funds
the Tier 1 migrant needs to prove he/she has
enough money to support himself/herself.

Please read the guidance several times if possible as all the answers to your questions are there and stick to what they say.


Please Look at the other threads, you dont need to post the same questions again.
