This seems like a very basic question but I can't seem to find an answer to it anywhere, so bear with me if it has been asked and i missed something... am I allowed to submit overseas bank account statements for the maintenance funds requirement?
The situation is, I am currently in the UK having finished a degree in Sept and interning on a very minimal work allowance since then. My family are supporting me financially and send money regularly so I honestly have no problems with living expenses. My degree results were released just two weeks ago, which is why I haven't been able to apply any earlier for the PSW visa. I'm just starting to gather up my documents and apply now.
However, entirely through carelessness on my part, I didn't realise that the £800 maintenance requirement had to be consistent over 3 months.
and there are times, within the past 3 months, when my balance has dipped down to £350. I have just received more money and the balance currently sits at a very comfortable £5500, but I am pessimistic and realistic enough about bureaucracy to understand that if I try to apply with statements that show it has hit £350 before, I'll probably be refused.I do have plenty saved in my bank account back home, though. So my question is, if I get my family back home to get these statements for me and post them over here ASAP, can I apply with them? My name is on the account and there has been well over £800 (or £2800 even) in it for 3 months.
I can't wait for time to lapse and my balance to return to the right amount becuase my visa expires at the end of January. It would be a disaster if I have to leave then because I have to see out the work I am currently doing until March. Would it be at all advisable to post in the application with what documents I can get, just to try my luck and buy me some time?
I am in a massive predicament so any help would be appreciated!
