Tier 2 General Maintenance Issue...

Hello,

I just applied for a Tier 2 (general) work visa and I am awaiting the decision. I provided all the necessary documents such as the COS# etc. but I am concerned it will be denied because of the maintenance fund requirements. I supplied them with a printed (off the website) bank statements (with the bank logo on each page) and also with original payslips from my previous employer, both of which covering the last 3 months. However, my bank statements do show that I dipped considerable below the 800 pound requirement a few times, but I am hoping that with my payslips this proves that I have enough in the bank currently. Can you please give me advice if I should be concerned? Thank you.

Are you applying from inside or outside the UK?

If inside, what is your current immigration status?

Im applying from outside the UK. I'm an US citizen applying in France with a French carte de sejour.

Is your sponsor A rated? Has your sponsor confirmed in your certificate of sponsorship that it will maintain and accommodate you (to a level of £800 or more)

My sponsor is Imperial College in London, I believe an A-rated. However, I am uncertain if they mentioned that they will "maintain and accommodate me". I will email the HR department who issues the COS to me about that.
