Tier 1 Maintenance (90 days Definition)

[mrehanashraf]

My question is regarding Required 90 days in Maintenance.

As per Tier 1 Policy guidance, the required amount should be in bank account for at least 90 days and further that UKBA consider Opening and Closing balance of each month bank statement.

So If even balance is lower than required amount during these two dates but meeting the required limit in Opening and Closing figures, there is no problem as per their Policy guidance?

If any one have experience if this situation?

On the other hand in Dependent's guidance, UKBA only mentioned consecutive 90 days period while explaining Maintenance funds.

Balance should not be less than £900 for each day during 90 days period .

Did you just make all that up? Not a single piece of text regarding maintenance funds from the UKBA refers to only the opening and closing balance - it consistently says that you need to have your maintenance funds in your account for 90 consecutive days. It's not ambiguous and not possible to interpret it as okay having funds only at the start and the end of a 90 day period.

If the applicant is applying as a Tier 1 Migrant, a Tier 2 Migrant or a Tier 5 (Temporary Worker) Migrant, the applicant must have had the funds referred to in (a) above for a consecutive 90-day period of time, unless applying as a Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) Migrant or a Tier 1 (Investor) Migrant;

Your personal cash savings must:

• * have been in your bank account for 90 consecutive days before your date of application

The evidence used to support personal savings for at least a consecutive 90 day period must be original, and issued by an authorised official of that organisation.
