In a nut shell, you will have NO PROBLEMS. YOU are fine.
to explain more about the maintenance. the situation varies from In country applications to applying outside the UK.
applying inside the UK, you must show money for your maintenance for up to a maximum of 9 months or 2 months. this depends whether you study inner London or outer London and whether you qualify for reduced/lower maintenance or you have to show full maintenance.
reduced/ lower maintenance = 2 months maintenance money, depending where you study inner/outer London. (if you study both inner and outer, then you will have to show money according to where you will study majority of the course.)
full maintenance = up to 9 months, depending where you study inner/outer London. (if you study both inner and outer, then you will have to show money according to where you will study majority of the course.)
when applying from outside the UK. the problem happens when people just put in the money to get the bank statement and take all the money out straight away after getting the bank statements. that is where the problem happens. you have taken out a small amount for your personal use and that is absolutely fine because the money cant just stay in the bank, you have got to use it. and it did not affect the required amount.
it is better not to spend the maintenance money because its for the UK maintenance. any excess money can be used as you like. because the maintenance money is to be used in the UK and if you use it back home than what will you do in the UK.
in the uk if you qualify for a lower maintenance then,
183. 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 (TIER 4) - 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.
so that means if you study outer London and have an established presence you will show a minimum of £1,640 held in your bank for a consecutive period of 28 days. however you can continue to use this money for your living costs which means, after the bank statement has been produced you can use it to pay rent, bills and etc.
the value of £1,640 is correct as at (16/02/15) and may change. please check the tier 4 for the up to date maintenance amount required.
