I think your chances are pretty slim. Remember, appeal is there for when you believe that the immigration officer made a mistake. In this case you didn't comply with the requirements and you refused based on the rules. The appeal officer will work with the same set of rules.

Yes, i know that, but i can argu that, bcoz of banks problam, i didn't put the money in my personal account istead i kept in my business account.

Appeal as maintenance funds may come from multiple cash fund accounts.

vi. However, until s.85A of the 2002 Act is brought into force (subsection 85(4)(a) of which stipulates that in respect of appeals in Points Based System cases the Tribunal may consider evidence adduced by the appellant only if it was submitted at the time of applying), it remains possible for appellants to satisfy the requirements of para 245Z(e) by providing on appeal evidence in specified form showing that they had £800 or over in personal savings for the period of three months immediately prior to the date of application.

Vinny - he submitted business statements which weren't in his name (I assume??? So they don't comply to the requirements).

Rizash - you are making the bank's problems the appeal officer's problem.

I would definitely appeal, but don't get your hopes up - I'm just being realistic here. You weren't refused because the visa officer didn't do their job properly, you were refused because you didn't comply to the rules (despite having excuses for this - rules are rules to them regardless of the excuse).

10 POUNDS you may be having in some other bank account in uk/ any other countries all over the world. show specified statements covering those 4 days to prove that you had 10 more pounds at your disposal (as per the exchange rate if that is the case) in an account in your name along with the appeal. Just for those 4 **** days. You qualify as the law requires. STUPID IMMIGRATION SYSTEM

my business debit card says Tandoori nigths + my name as well.

The bank statement should contain your name. You have 10 days to appeal after receiving the refusal decision. Better consult a specialist immigration lawyer / solicitor at the earliest. They can help to find the way out; not much difficult case anyway.
