I also thought the same regarding the maintenance fund points. But if you read the recent ILR experiences at PEOs on this forum you will notice that they are very keen on knowing the documents the applicant has submitted for Maintenance fund. Also, it make sense that they ask for maintenance fund as we are suppose to score full points as per our previous application. And If i have to score points for maintenance in my last application, they would want to know whether I do the same during ILR. Nothing changes for Tier 1 applicant.sagareva wrote:i haven't found a way to split the payment, but please let us know if you do.
However there is no maintenance requirement for ILR. You are only required to score points for previous earnings.
No joy. Called the CC company before I posted here. They wont increase credit.shahjee11 wrote:I would suggest speaking to your credit provider and ask them to increase your credit limit on the £5000 one, no harm in trying and explaining your problem. If you have been a good customer, they might do it for you even for a short period.
This I have kept as the last option. As a bank loan would be cheaper to get.shahjee11 wrote: The other option would be to withdraw cash from your credit cards and put the money in your current account to pay the required fee by debit card. expensive but still a solution?
Regarding the maintenance fund, you are saying that you didn't got asked to provide any documents. Do you think it was because, you have already met the guidelines for it with the bank statements you have provided to prove your income. If you don't mind, would you let us know if you had low funds in your account when you applied for ILR and still got approved. Also, more importantly, were you on Tier 1 General visa before your ILR. Would appreciate your response on this, as it will relieve some of the pressure on the subject. Many Thanks.shahjee11 wrote: By the way maintenance funds are not a requirement for ILR purposes, I got my ILR approved few weeks ago without being asked for maintenance funds etc. It is clearly stated in the guidance and whichever case worker asked for it was certainly not aware of the guidance or was ignorant.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I did read the guidances lots of time and the form. And there is no where they ask for it. But then I read in few peoples peo experiences that they were asked to provide maintenance fund details. Which then put me back to squre one. Anyway, thanks for taking time to reply.shahjee11 wrote:By the way have you read the guidance? I dont want to cause an offence but I have always found the policy guidance helpful and never really needed to ask questions unless in complete uncertainty. In addition I know how to argue on technical issues being a part of my profession.
Yes I was on tier 1 G and my case was emp+ self emp sole trader as deemed to be a complex one. 2 kids were not included in the ILR application. And there were no enough maintenance fund in the bank statements I provided. Although they were put in a savings A/c.
When you do your ILR self assessment on points calculator, it tells you there too to ignore the maintenance requirement if you are applying for ILR.
My approach has always been to keep things simple. All the best
