Question regarding maintenance funds

Post by ademabi » Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:34 pm

Hi,

I recently graduated from a Msc. programme in the UK, currently waiting to complete the 90 days period required for maintenance funds.
(I am applying from the UK and am precisely at the 58th day at the moment.)

Unfortunately my account fell down to £751 due to a direct debit transaction and I was a day late to realise and credit my account.

I have another account which I use to receive international money transactions. This account does not fullfil the 90 days requirement because I transfer the money to the primary account when I receive any.

However, the very day that my primary account fell down to £752, I received £1300 to this secondary account. (There wasn't any money in that account the day before) so the overall looks as:

25 Oct. 2011
Account 1: £751
Account 2: £1300
26 Oct 2011
Account 1: £2001
Account 2: £0

My question is; Can I use the money in the secondary account as a proof that I had enough funds for the day that my primary account fell below £800?

Thanks.

read the PSW policy guidance which explains if you can rely on multiple bank accounts.

if your credit has fallen below 800 pounds on 15th of October then you must show that on 15th of october, in another account, you had enough money to make it more than 800 pounds

cheers

About Maintenance funds

Post by Thawzin » Tue Nov 01, 2011 10:04 pm

Hi fris

I would like to know about Tier 1 psw dependant maintenance fund. My gf is also a student and she's been in uk 3 yrs already. So when I apply for the psw she is going to depend on me. So could you pls answer me these following questions?

1. How much money I have to show in my acc for her and how long has to be?
2. How much money does she need to show in her acc for herself?

I've already read from the homeoffice guideance but I don't understand. Thanks

Are you and your gf living together? If so, since when?
