Refused for not maintaining funds for 3 months?

[geriatrix]

If you applied for leave to enter (EC, from outside UK) between June 23 - July 22 (2010),
or
If you applied for leave to remain (from within UK) on/before 22 July 2010

under Tier 1,2,4 or 5 and your application was refused for maintenance funds (only), then please read

New policy guidance following Pankina judgments
Points-based system policy guidance: maintenance (funds)

Sush, I am little confused about:

Why UKBA has come up with this policy for only 23 June to 22 July 2010? Why this policy does not voer whole of the last 2-3 years, from the time when mainteance funds requirement was first introduced?

That's a fantastic news and good to see Home office being really quick in implementing the judgement.

So let me get this straight, so does this mean - the maintenance fund criteria for Tier based applications (including dependant) has changed. And anyone applying just need to show they have enough fund for the entire family on any one day during the last one month from the date of application..Please can you confirm if this is what it is suppose to mean...

Well, the judgement was passed on 23 June and that's the day Court ruled against them and maintenance fund criteria and they need to implement the court order following the day from judgement - hence 23rd june.

Seems like it is exactly that for in-country applicants (all applications made on/before 22-July 2010). It is only that applications from outside UK will be reviewed IF they were submitted between 23-Jun and 22-Jul.

No clue why this is so! Perhaps due to some section of UK law? e.g. - Tier 1 applicants from outside can request administrative review but in-country applicants can only appeal and that too only when given the right!

Where does it say so?

Well, if I have not misread and misinterpreted, it says -

This instruction does not apply to migrants who applied for either entry clearance, or leave to remain on or after 23 July 2010. Those applications will be considered under the new rules laid before parliament on 22 July (which became law on 23 July 2010).

Therefore, it is prudent that you find and read the new rules laid before the parliament on 22-July. Instead, you have conveniently assumed that the new policy published for applications on / after 19-July is what this statement is referring to.

Hello Sir/Madam,

My tier -1 application was rejected by home office on 15th of April 2010 due to lack of maintenance funds in my personal/savings account.But I showed £800 pounds for the period of 90 days in my self-employed business account,for which I'm sole owner and trader,all the money in that account belongs to me and my personal use only.So is I'm eligible to ask for a review of my tier-1 application according to Pankina case?.If yes Is home Office going to consider maintenance funds in self-employed account?.

Thank You Very Much For Spending Your Valuable Time.

Money in the business account belongs to the business, not to you (an individual). For Tier 1 the account must be personal (applicant's) and not the business (even if owned by applicant).
