Till 30 sep 09 there are transitional arrangements for the maintainance requirement. if u apply b4 30 sep, you have to show that you have the money required at the time u apply and it need not be 28 days in ur bank. but if you apply after 30 sep, u have to show that there is money in your bank for 28 days.

Sorry to burst your bubble but they do not allow for students to show funds in their parents accounts for maintenance any more.
My girlfriend did that but was rejected as they say student must have access to the funds thus account in their own name or joint account only

Apologies I have just checked Home office website and seen information that tuliprose is indeed correct.

My girlfriend has an appeal at the Appeals & Immigration Tribunal in manchester on the 19th Aug 2009. Do you think she will be able to quote this and ask that it be applied to her situation??

My niece recently extended her student visa, and since we are the ones who financially support her studies, it was our bank statements that were taken into account. Not hers!
