The texts on the refusal letter as follow:
“You have applied for Entry Clearance to the UK as the Partner of a Relevant Points Based System Migrant. I have therefore assessed your application against Paragraph 319C of the UK Immigration Rules (as amended). You can read these Rules at :
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/polic ... tionrules/”
“The Decision
As evidence to meet the maintenance requirement of Appendix E of the UK immigration Rules (as amended) you have provided your UK bank statement together with your husband’s (your sponsor) UK bank statement. I note that your sponsor was granted his Leave to Remain under Tier1 General of the PBS in order to meet the maintenance on xx xxx 2013. Under the requirements of Appendix E you are therefore required to evidence funds of GBP1800 for a period of 90 consecutive days ending no more than one month prior to your application submission. I note from you and your sponsor’s bank statements that these show that GBP1800 was not held either jointly or individually for the required period. For example on XX Dec 2012 the balance of your sponsor’s account stood at GBP1106.16 while the balance of your account was GBP605.87. This gives a joint figure of GBP1712.03, which is less than the required amount. I am therefore not satisfied that you meet the requirements of Paragraph 319C(g) of the UK immigration Rules (as amended).”
We checked the Appendix E and UK immigration rules Para 319C(g),
“a) Where the application is connected to a Tier 1 Migrant (other than a Tier 1 (Investor) Migrant or a Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) Migrant) who is outside the UK or who has been in the UK for a period of less than 12 months, there must be £1800 in funds.” And “(g) Unless the Relevant Points Based System Migrant is a Tier 1 (Investor) Migrant or a Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) Migrant, there must be a sufficient level of funds available to the applicant, as set out in Appendix E.”
Please notice they didn’t show very clear how much the maintenance funds should we provide if the Tier1 general main applicant has worked in UK more than 12 months. In this case I believe they can say any number as they want!
