UK visas - maintenance funds

The UK Border Agency have now introduced a review process for those whose applications were previously refused for failing to meet the maintenance funds requirement of a points-based system application.

This follows a recent court case where these rules on maintenance funds were found to be unlawful by the judge. This was on the grounds that the government’s guidance notes (requiring 3 months maintenance funds) was in direct contradiction of the relevant section of the Immigration Rules.

The government have now amended the Immigration Rules to clarify that the requirement is for 3 months evidence.

If your application was refused on these grounds, then please contact us so we can see if a review could work in your case.
