RE: Annual income for dependent visa

[misaw1]

Hello

I am currently earning £16500/annum, and have savings of £900 for me and for my wife Rs.1.8 lacs in Indian bank. But recently I have come to know that UKBA have change some rules and only person earning above £18600 can apply for dependent visa.

Currently I am on Tier-1(general) visa with earnings from both employed and self-employed.

My query is

1. Is it compulsory to have min.£18600/annum to apply for dependent visa
2. If I am not earning above amount, can I show my self-employed income to apply for dependent visa
3. Would anyone please send me all the document lists requires for dependent visa applying from India

Please help me with this as I need the information asap.

Many thanks in advance

Like Vinny has already pointed out, the minimum threshold is only applicable for dependents of ILR holder or british citizens.

For Tier 1 General holders, since you anyway qualify in the points based system by earning a certain amount to earn points, it is enough if you prove sufficient maintenance funds for applying for your dependent.

Hi Everyone

First of all I would like to thanks everyone for helping us in all types of situations.

I have applied for my wife and son dependent visa under Tier-1(general) dependent but unfortunately they refused the applications stating that £1,200 maintenance funds(£600 for each dependent) was not held for a period of 90 consecutive days.

I have showed £900 in UK account and INR 1,70,000(1 lakh seventy thousand rupees) in my wife account for maintenance funds and these funds were in account since July 2013.

I am living in UK for more than 2 years so requirement was to show £600 for each dependent and £900 for main applicant which I have satisfy but the entry clearance officer based in Chennai refuses the application stating insufficient funds.

My query is

1. They have given option of right of appeal within 28 days so should I go for appeal which will take atleast 2-3 months or should I apply fresh again.

2. Is there any fees for appeal and if making an objection to entry clearance officer decision does this effect the applications.

3. Letter says submit supporting documents, does this mean I have attached all the documents I have submitted for the first time with application.

Please help me as your help always guide me and others to do right...

Many thanks in advance
