Keep money in bank post extension not needed?

In my case, it wasn't because of not having the money. That wasn't the problem. It was that it was my first retirement extension of a non-Imm so having zero experience of CW I wanted everything to go smoothly, which it pretty much did with the agent.

 

I doubt there's anything wrong with my extension as I was right there at CW with the agent all the time. And I was sitting in front of the IO in her office as she did her business with my passport. So should be legit.

 

Next year Feb. I plan to go with 800k/12months (from now on I am just going to keep it at 800k+) but we'll see if I go back to the agent. The convenience is tempting but from all accounts here it's at most just one long day on one's own.

 

Start over? You mean they'll cancel the non-Imm because the IO last time didn't care about funds? Never heard of such a thing.

 

I doubt there's ever a problem agent or no unless it's a fake visa/stamp, in which it is a very serious problem leading to IDC and deportation. But I stand to be corrected.

I obtained my 12 month permission of stay (extension) last October using money in bank method. When I go again in October this year the io will want to see my bank statements for the year.

Sounds like you had the funds in the bank just used agent to hold hand. Most using money in bank method and using an agent do not have the money in the bank. Hence need an agent

Exactly. It was the first time after all.

 

Next year I am going to look for an extension "buddy" here on TV. Someone who has experience who I can go with. I will pick them up, travel/meals all on me:-)

If a person doesn't have the 800k in a bank and uses an agent, then next year if he wants to apply on his own, he won't be able to show a 1 year bank statement showing the funds according to the requirements. Understand?
