Official sponsor letter for Tier 2 dependent

[yuldo]

Hi, I have some confusion regarding the requirements for maintenance for my wife and son, for whom I am applying for visas at the same time as I apply for my own out of country Tier 2 general visa. My certificate of sponsorship states: 'Tick to certify maintenance for migrant (and dependants, if applicable): Y'.

So, when the visa website asks me what area of the maintenance requirement I am applying under, I assume I say 'Tier 2 skilled worker with A rated sponsor' - right? And then, when I am asked 'what official sponsor letter has been supplied as evidence?', can I just say 'Certificate of Sponsorship'? I have not been given any other letters from my future employer that discuss maintenance.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Should be enough as your CoS state that your employer will sponsor your dependents as well.

Hello. May I know if the application to your dependants was a success? I have the same situation. I applied visa without my dependants as both we lacking some requirement that time. Now I would like to apply them as my dependants with the same COS as mine with a tick ‘Y’ on maintenance. But I would like to know if that would suffice? My COS is still valid until October. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks

i'm in the same situation , does anyone knows if there is a format for such letter ? I just need to know what exactly need to be written and I will ask my sponsor to do it for me.

Its part of your Sponsor duties, so in your application form it would be mentioned that the maintenance would be beard by the sponsor. (No letter needed)
