ORIGINAL POSTER

I have obtained my DTV and reading the help here has kept me calm throughout the process thanks for that. I have seasoned money I used to prove my financial competence and have additional funds for my wife well in excess of what is needed just not seasoned the same as my own funds.  Will I have to wait to apply for my wife?  Thank you...

TLDR : Answer Summary

You can generally apply for your wife's DTV visa as your dependent soon after your DTV is approved. You might be able to use your bank account with a sponsorship letter to fulfill the financial criteria, although this can vary by embassy. Additionally, consider the specific seasoning requirements that can differ, ranging from zero to six months.

In most cases you can apply for your wife's DTV as your dependent as soon as your DTV is approved, and in many cases use your bank account, with a sponsorship letter from you to meet the financial requirements for her. Not every embassy allows this, but most do, after you get your DTV.
