Maintenance funds question

Post by vincentnm » Mon Dec 26, 2011 6:27 pm

Dear All,

I have a CoS assigned to me. But I do not have £800 in my account maintained in my bank balance. I've been told there are two options:

(1) My sponsor can issue a letter stating that they are ready to give me £800 in advance during my first month of employment.

(2) My sponsor will have to amend the CoS and state within the CoS that they will give me £800 in advance during my first month of employment.

Which of these is the safer one. A visa consultaant mentioned that option 1 will not work.

Please help!

Thanks
Vince.

Not sure. Reading from the tone of your reply, Option 1 wont work, will it?

What do you think of the feasibility of option2?
