Proof of Funds - Bank Letter

Post by js1000 » Thu Dec 24, 2009 5:31 pm

My girlfriend applied for a Tier 4 student visa from within the UK today and I'm having doubts about the letter she sent as proof of funds... As she's applying within the UK, she only has to show proof on the day of the application and not for 28 days.

She has a joint account with me and as proof of funds, she sent a letter from the bank, named and addressed to us both, stating that the account has £6,200 available on today's date (the date of application).

The bank also printed out an electronic statement which covers 28 days and has all the account details, but not our names or addresses.

The bank stamped both pieces of paper.

Would these documents together be sufficient as proof of funds? I'm worried because the electronic statement doesn't have her name or address even though the letter does.

What do you think?

It depends on what did she write in the application. Definitely this is not the best situation but you should keep your fingers crossed!

Did she pay tuition fees?

I applied with a joint account I hold with my bf in the US. My university fees were already pre-paid and I had a letter from the Uni confirming that. I got a letter from the bank in the US confirming that it was a joint account, that I had access to the funds and that I had sufficient funds (and stated the actual amount) and that it had been held for at least 28 days. My visa was approved, fyi.

And by the way, I applied from within the UK and was under the impression that regardless of your location, you have to show 28 days continuous funds. I thought that the funds held on the same day letter was only applicable if you applied before October 1st. You should really get help from a professional asap so that you can remedy anything that may be wrong.
