1 - Not mandatory but if you have one, do provide
2 -Yes, you can use hers, or yours or even combined for maintenance funds
3 - You/her need to show £800 (changing from 6th April to £900 I think) + £533 (Not sure if this is changing as well, double check) - All assuming you are in the UK for more than 12 months.
4 - No
5 - No one knows exact time scale (but as Quicksam has indicated below 1 - 6 weeks ) !!!

Good luck

Hi,
i am planning to apply visa for my new born child in june 2012 who is in abroad and i am in the uk more than 12 months, my wife is on tier 1 Dependant means she already got the visa.
Please please confirm the maintenance funds.
Someone is saying it will be 800+533+533 or 900+600+600.
and somebody else saying only need 533 or 600.

please is there anyone on this forum can confirm this as most of the people like me are very confused about that.
i do not want to waste my money as you everyone knows there is a lot of visa fee we have to pay these days.
PLESE DO NOT ASNWER DUPLICATE , I KNOW I POSTED IT BEFORE BUT DID NOT GET ANY CONFRIMED ANSWER.
Please help.
Thanks

I guess this one is for LUCAPOOKA.

What I did is, I never worried about maintenance crap. I had always maintained an amount in excess of 5000 (can't tell you the exact figure ) and never had any issues.

According to what I have heard from the MODS the maintenance amount for dependant is 533 at this point.

@ Sahi - You have been already advised extensively on THIS THREAD with regards to what maintenance funds you require. The thing you failed to mention was when you are intending to apply for the visa. In case if you are applying after 6th or April, you need £900+£600£600 if prior to that £800+£533+£533.

Thanks,
R

Thanks
i know that its 533 now and 600 will be in june.
My question is do i need to show funds for myself and my wife as well, we both got the visa, or just to show funds for my child who was born in uk.
Thanks
