Maintenance requirement for dependant outside UK

Post by smacky » Wed Jul 18, 2012 4:57 pm

Hi,
I've been working in the UK for 3 years and am going to sponsor my wife from outside the UK.
DO I need to show 900+600 = 1500 or just 600 as maintenance funds for the past 90 days?

Thanks.

I guess you are applying only for your wife.

As per rules- 600 pounds (http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... 998#520243)

If you dont expect the caseworker to be thorough with the rules show 1500(I would do this)

Why can't you write a mail to the HO as in the link in my previous post and attach the reply(if there is one!) with the application?
