Tier 2 Visa - Dependent Bank statement

[vprpandian]

Hi,

I came to UK 2 months back in April 16. I would like to apply "Tier 2 dependent visa" for my wife who is currently in India. I have a query regarding the maintenance fund.

I'm maintaining enough fund in my HDFC bank (India) continuously for more than 90 days. But i'm not holding sufficient fund in my UK bank account.

Is it fine to submit my HDFC bank (India) statement for maintenance fund? Or the amount should be in UK bank account?

Please help me in clarifying this.

Regards,
Pandian

Hi Pandian,

You can use your overseas bank statement for maintenance. it does not need to be UK bank account. Make sure you have sufficient amount for minimum 90 days when you apply for the visa and till the visa decision.

Hi Umasankar,

I will be applying the dependent visa for my wife and daughter by next month. I got the list of documents required for the dependent application from another post in this forum. Hope it will be useful for you too.

1. Notarised copy of your biometric permit card

2. Notarised copy of front and back page of your passport

2. Working letter from employer stating that you are in full time position, started work on xxxx, employed as xxxx & my annual salary

3. Certificate of sponsorship for YOUR tier 2 visa - check if the company is sponsoring maintenance in it... Look at the last page and see if they have put "Y" - If they have put "N" here, ignore the next step

4. Sponsorship letter from your employer stating that they "Certify maintenance" to your wife (NAME & Passport number) during her stay in UK based on the certificate number XXXX (i.e. YOUR CoS certificate number) AND your A Rated Sponsor's LICENSE NUMBER (this can be found in the CoS as well)

5. Letter from you to say that you will take full financial responsibility for your wife during her stay in UK along with the address you are living in currently

6. Tenancy agreement (original) and a bill (original - preferably council tax) IN YOUR NAME to show that you are in an accommodation that is not over crowded...

7. Your original 6 month payslips

8. Marriage certificate (ORIGINAL)

9. 2 marriage photographs

10. Wedding invitation and Whatsapp call/messages, Skype calls screenshots to show the relationship.

11. If you have all the above, then it should be fine....... Also if you have maintained 900+600 GBP in your account continuously for 90 days, then please have ATTESTED COPIES OF THE STATEMENTS (If not original)

12. If you dont have the funds for 90 days then the only way to show maintenance funds is to have both 3&4.......

Note: All the letters and notarised copies should be less than 1 month old - as well as the bank statments from the date of application...

Let me know your application submission process. wish you all the best.

Regards,
Pandian
