Hi All
I am new to the forum as I was just wondering around to find some information and got into this forum. Its really helpful and fantastic. Hope somebody out there some where who can solve my puzzles!!!

You might have already guessed that I am a tier1 visa holder. I recently got married (huh...), and now she is bugging me to get her here in UK (I think I also want that....shhhh ).

1. My first problem is I am just a bit confused about the fund requirements. Searched into the ukba website and it is clearly stated that for tier1 holder who is living in uk for more than 6 months fund requirement for each dependent is 533. But some other websites and also in this forum I have seen that people are mentioning about somewhat 1600 pound. Is it correct? If yes which part of ukba website guideline I am missing out?

2. I have seen people stating that the bank statement should be diffrent for the salary credited and the fund shown? (acording to one of the post in this forum  ... as one of the moderator of this site replied....

                             "8. Bank statment , where salary credited and different from above bank"

3. My visa is due to expire in July 2011. If I apply for my wife now is she going to get the visa for that period only? If yes what happens next? Will I have to apply for both of us again? Does that mean that I have to bear the cost of application twice? If yes would it just be better to apply for her at the time of my extension.

4. How long does it actually takes to process the dipendent application?

I am sorry if the questions are too many for you guys. But believe you me, I am so confused and stressed out.

Thanks you very much in advance and any help would highly be appreciated.
