Wow, I wonder who the poor bastard is who has to go through and check whether there were sufficient funds on each and every day! The new guy in the office, I guess. This is actually beneficial for applicants, because if the AUD is expected to drop in value against the GBP over the 3 month period, a...

Just to further clarify: Anyway, just to clarify their exact position for you. Over the 3 calender months they will take your Australian bank balance each day against the closing exchange rate for that day (as found on Oanda). That is, there will be 90 (or so) different exchange rates used over the ...

I'm dubious in believing anything reported by companies that have a vested interests in the changes ie. those that provide Visa Application Services(ie. FirstContact, Voyage, TNT etc) Has anyone spoken to B&I in the last few days? What is their most recent opinion on whether WHM must leave the c...
