Financial requirements, interesting query.

That's what I was worried about with all these waiting

i'm sure anyone refused because of this, challenged the decision by judicial review would have to win, its ridiculous that they are taking 8 months to process an application, also the bad publicity UKBA has had and with the recession many being made redundant , they should base the decision on when you applied, not when they were bothered to process your application

I've read that a woman from another forum applied on February this year (only a few days before the expiration of her Tier 4 visa), had an error in the payment details so have to resend the application after her visa already expired when UKBA told her about the error. Then UKBA contacted her for more recent documents on October. And by November/December, she got refused of visa and was told not eligible for appeal. According to the refusal letter, her and her sponsor's income didn't comply with the new financial requirements, which the caseworker had based from as she submitted the application after her Tier 4 visa expired. I'm not sure whether that should be the case knowing she submitted the application under the old rules and UKBA processed her application so late.
