Maintainance Funds New Rules April 2010

[alimohmand]

Hi,

I have a query about maintainance funds for a friend of mine.

He is applying for Tier 1 General.

He had money in his account for more then a year up until 23rd Feb. He decided to convert currency in USD from AFS.

Transaction was done on the same day with balance showing in his USD account.

My concern is that Does it need to be the same account for 90 days consective or can he show two different accounts under new rules (6th April 2010) confirming that monies were available during last 90 days?
He can also get a certificate from bank confirming the amount present in his account for 3 months prior to application.

Also his bank issues statements in dot matrix would you reckon HO can reject his applicated based on dot matrix printer and may not have Bank's Logo. He can also get those stamped and signed by the bank.

Look forward to your suggestions.

If you are applying Tier 1 General only for yourself and from outside UK, then you need to show £2800 in your account for 90 consecutive days.
