TIER 2 PBS DEPENDANT VISA EXTENSION WITH IN THE UK

Post by RRR » Tue Mar 14, 2017 11:17 pm

HI
I am my wife is trying to extend her Tier 2 PBS visa which will be expiring in April 2017.
As few months ago I changed employer, I extended my Tier 2 general Visa with them. When I was applying I was not needed to show maintenance of funds as I was already on my Tier 2.
Now When my wife is trying to apply online for her PBS tier 2 General Visa extension its asking about maintenance of funds either Financial document or tick yes for maintenance of funds by my sponsor.
I have contacted my sponsor and they are not willing to give the letter for maintenance of funds.
As it was clearly mentioned in Tier 2 policy Guidance and Immigration rules Appendix E 5 (C) we didnt maintained funds.
Did any body had the same problem.
Please please guide us.
Any help is really appreciated.
Many Thanks
Raj

you either need a letter from employer or you need £630 in bank for 90 days.
No other way around it

hi I worker,
Thank You for the reply.
But I am talking after carefuly researching the immigration rules.
according to Immigration policy guidance and rules it is as below

Tier 2: exceptions to the maintenance requirement
Tier 2 applicants who apply because they have changed Tier 2 employer do not need to
meet the maintenance requirements, nor do any family members, regardless of whether
they are applying at the same time or separately from the main applicant.
If a dependant applies at the same time as the main Tier 2 migrant, they are only required to
provide evidence that they meet the maintenance requirement when the Tier 2 Migrant is
also required to meet the maintenance requirement.
If a dependant applies separately from the main applicant they will need to have the
necessary funds to meet the maintenance requirement or have a written undertaking from
an A-rated Sponsor, unless the main applicant already has leave in a Tier 2 category and
when applying for their most recent period of Tier 2 leave was not required to show evidence
of satisfying maintenance requirements.
