guys. good news on maintenance funds.

just called them up today and they have confirmed that if you show them you had Â£800 atleast for one day/month for 3 months is more than enough . hopefully it should be officially updated very soon in the bia site. i would suggest you better call them up and confirm for double confirmation.

Hope its a fantastic news.

cheers,

hey guys, i just called them as well and they told me the same thing. she said as long as you can prove you have the funds available to you at the time of the application ie. a bank statement or a letter from the bank, it should be fine. The new rules are coming in on the 29th June.

She also said in the covering letter, just include that you are aware of the transitional arrangement have included the proof of the Â£800.

Woo!

I spoke to HO. Was told that people appplying till 29 June need to show 800 on any one day in past 1 month of application. And this is called transitional arrangement. Hope it helps. This is a great news.

Sorry to confuse you guys. The new rules are the current rules as we know: that you must have evidence of at least Â£800 in your account for 3 months. The transitional arrangements are that you need to show you have Â£800 around the time of applying.

Remember that applicants from India and other parts of the world will show maintainace fund of 2800 GBP and not 800GBP. Apart from this the information on the suspension of 3 months proof of maintenace fund is true till 28th June. For those other people who have not started Tier 1, the indication appears that it will be made global from June 29th. Wishing you all the best.

Thanks for the link Priya - indeed very useful. One thing not clear though. Under transitional arrangement, what is the condition for dependents. If I have my wife and my kid dependent on me, do I need to show 3200 GBP for them for three months or for only one month.

priya.agrawal · Post by **priya.agrawal** » Mon Mar 31, 2008 11:16 pm

Hello hsmp_aspirant,

Although they have not mentioned clearly in the link about the dependents but I am sure that the same rule will be applicable for dependent applications.

Actually they maight have made the transitional arrangement after ppl raise the concerns that they can not ask for statements for previous period. 3 months rule will come in effect after 3 months i.e. 29 June.

So I think there is nothing to worry about. If you have 4000 (800+1600+1600) GBP in your account at the time of application, it should be enough for consideration of your applications.

Cheers,

thanks everyone,, this is a good news.

Anyone, any idea how did this happen??

I mean was there any appeal in the court for this??

Can we do somthing for India as well..

( Instead of money in the bank for 3 months to be in the bank for 1 month before apply)

That will be great...

I think Indian MP Keith Vaz from Liecester who'd have lobbied for us.

I did send a request to Mr. Vaz explaining how this Maintenance Funds for 3 months is illogical, esp for student HSMP Approval holders (WITH 20-HR WORK LIMIT). I also sent a formal complaint to Home Office explaining the illogicality of the clause.

Either Mr. Vaz or the Home Minsitry saw the point and the HO made corrections to this policy. I need to send a msg of thanks to Mr. Vaz & his Parliament Secretary Ms. Bigham, btw. He had promised to look into this issue.

Long Live Keith Vaz!

Hi, i think the bia website indicates something else.. as far as i can understand . the 29 June is only for UK applicants..
http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/workin ... intenance/

I quote from the website (as on 2nd April 2008)
" For applications submitted within the United Kingdom on or after 30 June 2008, and for applications submitted from within India, you will have to meet the requirements below...."

From the construction of sentence it appears , the grace period is only being granted to within UK applicants.

Could anyone call HOME office and confirm??
Is this applicable those who apply from India as well.

Good Job Aviator111 !!!
