Makes perfect sense I'd say.

If you have to run an overdraft to fund another account to show the maintenance fund requirement then you do not have the required funds since you're effectively borrowing the maintenance funds from the bank.

I'm 95% sure it means 10 points ... but get a second opinion

Maz, where did you apply from? It's not a problem that you've heard nothing yet. The first thing I heard from them was about 3-4 weeks after I sent in my review application and it asked me to send my passport + 2 photos. (I didn't send my passport with my review application, but they do need two pho...

I got my Tier 1 General extension granted under the Pankina judgment and it is for 3 years from the date of the UKBA's new decision, 14 Jan 2011 - 14 Jan 2014. Don't know whether anyone can answer this, but after my extension refusal in 2009 I left and entered the UK on a new Visa. Now that technica...

Hi sushdmehta, Can you tell me your understanding of the following and whether it is correct: 1) HSMP was always initially granted for 2 years, and then could be extended for a further 3 years. 2) Tier 1 General (at least when it came into force) was an initial 3 year visa and could be extended for ...

To confirm my dates: Sent my application(letter) on: 11 Dec UKBA received my application on: 14 Dec UKBA letter dated and sent on: 5 Jan UKBA letter re...

I did apply under the Pankina judgment under the section called: "APPLICANTS WHO LEFT THE UNITED KINGDOM FOLLOWING THE REFUSAL OF AN APPLICATION FOR LEAVE TO REMAIN SUBMITTED PRIOR TO 23 JULY 2010" Although I am in the UK now on a working permit, this section was the most relevant to my ca...

Hi, I sent my application in December and it was received in Sheffield on 14 Dec. As yet I have no feedback, but this isn't abnormal from what I hear. I only submitted copies of my passport and not the original as this was what they requested for my particular case. Hopefully we'll hear from them so...

Hi Jisham.

I am also interested to...

I only became aware of the Pankina Judgment for applications for leave to remain made before 23 July 2010 a few days ago (9 Dec). Yesterday I submitted my application to reconsider my refusal according to the Maintenance (Funds) Policy Document v2 (22 Nov 2010). If anyone has any experience so far w...
