Thank you for your reply, if i have to maintain the fund until i get the decision then why did ukba said minimum 28days maintainence, they could have said maintain until we make the decision, because at the end of the day that fund is for our living expenses and after 28days we have to pay our bills, so i have to withdraw money from that maintainence fund, if that makes any sense.. please clarify me
You have a point but please see the policy guidance -
The money you show us must be for your use for studying and living in the UK. The full
amount of this money – which should be held in the manner specified in this guidance - must
continue to be available to you after your application is made, except for any money you
have to pay for course fees and living costs.
For example, you should retain the full amount of money you have shown us in your bank
account, minus the balance you have paid for your course fees.
Although they have said you can use the money for living costs but there were many cases when they have checked balance and on a particular day and find out the fund is below the required amount and they refused the visa based on that. So if you have option then keep that money until you receive the decision.
