ubonr1971 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Is the rule still 400k for 3 months in bank account for ext of stay based on marriage? If I were to not abide by this rule what happens then. Does it mean I will not be able to proceed with that ext of stay? Are immi depts flexible at all?

KhunLA Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Possible only 2 months, since you're extending. If you can't meet that, they may extend you 30 or 60 days, the time you need, while it seasons. They did that for me one year, a 30 day extension, as one year they didn't like my 40k monthly deposits paperwork, for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Money in the bank for 2 months. If you cannot comply with this you can get a 60 day extension which will give you time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthainess Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Yes 2months before applying, some will say keep it for 3 months before reducing it, as it takes one month 'under consideration' ( I think this is where some think it is 3 months) but in 5yrs Immigration have NEVER checked my account again after I applied. just saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 2 months. Immigration are strict on this. You can obtain 60 day extension to visit wife to season the funds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you just love the way that, every year, they spend a month deciding if you are allowed to 'visit' your wife. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rastaputin Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 So, as these answers somehow differ on one point, may I ask for clarification: First Time 3 Month Money in Bank? Second and consecutive Extensions: 2 Month? Or the other way round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritManToo Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 It's 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will B Good Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Two months BEFORE MAKING YOUR APPLICATION............(as people have stated).....some idiot thought it was two months before due date of extension expiring......doh! Yet another three hour drive in front of me..........???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning first extension and subsequent extensions. If you are referring to non O application the funds only need to be in account on day of application Edited February 10, 2023 by DrJack54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that you start a thread with basic question and then state the above Some immigration offices do check and while I have never read report of rejection for not maintaining funds for under consideration period the advice you posted is poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
