EXTENSION REFUSED DUE TO SHORT OF MONEY

[sunmoon]

I met a guy (know him for a long time) on the London tube this evening and came to know that his student visa(T 4) extension application was refused recently with a right to appeal.
The reason was: He had 500 pounds instead of 800 in his bank account for last 16 days of the 1 month required period ! He was expecting some money coming to his account from his home country but it was delayed for some reason and unfortunately his visa was expiring at the same time so he had no choice but applied with short amount of fund and got the refusal.
His solicitor wants to appeal against it and told him if he got enough money in his account during the appeal time, which he has got now, then his appeal will be approved.

Could anyone please put some hope for the poor guy ! as I'm confused myself and was unable to give him some hopeful comments.

If your friend can prove that he had moment at the time of applying the aapeal may be allowed. Since he had not enough in the account submitted to the UKBA, the amount of money in that account will not help the appeal.

If your friend can prove that he had the required amount in a different account, that account should be used instead to support his appeal.

following the Pankina judgement the rules have been changed to incorporate the 28 day requirement so if he made his application after 23 July 2010 then he needs to have had the funds for a consecutive 28 day period.

Regarding maintenance fund, the concession againt Pankina Judgement is only for specific time period. I think from Jun'10-to-July'10 applications.

Now that policy guidance been incorporated as 'Law'. So now there is no more concession and the requirement of having funds from 28 days must be met at the time of application otherwise application will be refused.

And the requirement is 'at the time of application'. After that you can bring one million pounds but you cannot bring that 'time' back!

I was also thinking like that thats why I couldn't tell him anything but asking the forum members if my thought was not correct.
