There is no extension, at least for the moment. After April 2012, PSW ceases to exist. Graduates are still allowed to be sponsored by employers before their student visa expires. Of course this has always been the case, however now the graduates will not be subject to the Resident Market Labour Test.

Remember PSW ends in April 2012. So whenever you apply, make sure you do so before that date.

A savings bank account is perfectly fine to use. It's always advisable to keep your money in a separate account from the one where you make plenty withdrawals from (such as your current account). Take the time period as 90 consecutive days. Not sure how the UKBA measure their month days, but I think...

Read my reply in your other post.

Get a printed statement from your bank early morning on the 14th. Make sure it's on a letterheaded paper, stamped, and then submit your application via recorded post on the same day.

Your situation is a tricky one. You can submit the application on the same day (14th) as when your 90 days is complete. However, you obviously will not be able to order for statements on time. My advice would be to find out from your bank if they can print out statements for you, on a letterheaded p...

I use Barclays bank statements. Their statements do not show individual balances after transactions, so on mine it never shows my balance dropping below £800.

However their online statement shows balances after every transaction, and shows a drop below £800 before going back up on the same day.
