UK Visitor Visa - Financial Dependents

score:4

Accepted answer

You write "my sister doesn't depend on my brother-in-law financially". But you also write that all the money she earns goes into an account in his sole name. At that point the money becomes his, in the sense that if he decided not to let her take it, she could not. Therefore your sister is in fact financially dependent on your brother-in-law. Your brother-in-law may well give your sister any money she asks for, but visa agents have no way of being sure that is true.

You should therefore definitely say that your sister is a dependent on your brother-in-law. It's absolutely normal that spouses are considered dependents of their spouses, even if they maintain their own bank accounts. She should also answer the question about who is paying for the trip by saying that her husband is paying.
