I am currently on International Graduate Scheme visa for one year, as i got this visa before the rules changed in July 2008.
My present visa runs out on 5th March 09. I need to apply for an extension in Feb 09, however i have just realised that under the new rules I need to have minimum of £800 balance in my bank account for last 3 months. However I have been heavily overdrawn since last three months.
I really dont know what to do now, as I am scared they might not extend my visa based on my funds! I am also not sure if the same criteria applies for extension?
I have now started to maintain £2800 in my savings account and thinking to apply for an extension from back home. I will leave UK on 4th March and apply from my home country.
Can I apply extension of my IGS (now Tier1 PSW) from home country?
Please let me know if anybody has any information as this is stressing me out!

you cannot apply under transitinal arrangement from outside the uk.
Thank you so much for your advice 'Frontier Mole'.i rang the British High Commission today in my home country. They told me that upon my return to my home country, i would need to apply under a fresh application under PSW with most importantly maintenance funds and all the documents from your University as in your degree etc. and if your application is successful you will get PSW only for the remaining period - which is only for one year!Frontier Mole wrote:Do you have £800 or the foreign equivalent in a saving account that covers the last few months?
If so you will be fine. You can submit any account in your own or joint name to show the requirement, UK or overseas.
You do not have to use your current account as evidence.
