Unfortunately, I think there is no maximum time. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But at this stage UK is only concerned in its own security, etc. so they don't want to limit themselves. That's why they describe on the website how to withdraw application. Somebody wrote here that he withdrew it and then submitted new and got visa fast, but I'm not sure I would do the same. I would wait or choose different country to go.

Some one told me that due to psw visa the processing is too slow, after 6 April the psw finish, then hopefully I will received my document soon

HI Kiran, Congrats for having visa granted. Just wana enquire that if there was any enquiry or verification involved in your application process. If so, how long did it take after the verification date to have visa granted.

One of my couzions applied from here having similar scenario of you, and he has been waiting for I guess almost 4 months or so.

Many Thanks upfront

(chatting shit as they can )) on letter you must show the following : name , address, account number, date , AVAILABLE money , and YOU HAVE INSTANT access to money whenever you want and you can spend it ask the bank to address the letter To UKBA tier 1 and put reference number on the letter and save the letter on your profile this will speed up the process if UKBA want to check the letter .

THATS IT

I think instead of a letter if we show UK bank account statement holding 50k in it, that should be sufficient...It would be good if others will also provide their opinion....

First of all , I had £ 200K in my account , and the balance letter you need to provide for claiming point, it just showing the same day balance and should be enough, you dont need to held the money in your account for long time ,
thank you :)

siavashes,

After submitting your application did you keep your 200k in your account until you got the visa result or you had withdrawn it from your bank account?

If you had withdrawn it then how long after submitting your application you withdrew it?

I am asking all this because if my application gets delayed then I might not be able to keep my funds held there in a bank account and in case if I withdraw it after submitting the application, I am also worried that UKBA might will do a balance check with the bank and this can cause problem. Please give your experience and detailed suggestion in this case which will be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

hi
basically I did not keep the money in my account for a long time , as soon as you got your letter from bank you can withdraw money , there is no time scale mentioned which you need to keep the money in your account for some period of time , you just need to show you have this money available , the other thing which most of people dont knows about it is , ABSOLUTELY NO ONE except yourself can check your account balance(including UKBA,Police,house of Lord...) , this is against the law, and FSA regulation , so be relax and dont worry about if they want to check your account , because they CAN NOT . you can ask your bank manager to make sure of this . now if they want to check the documents you submitted to support your application, they may do verification check on them which they will check if the letters are fake or not ? is the bank rally issued them ? they will ask bank to confirm if they issued that letter or not .... but there is no way which they can check how much money you have in your account, plus more they did not mentioned anywhere about to holding money in your account . so dont worry at all .

HOWEVER you should have access to your money , and if they become conclusion you just kept money for one day to get letter (eg you may borrowed from your friends) they may ask you further documentation which will be same as letter you submitted but up to date one, and you have 7 working days to send them requested documentation , thats only way they can check you still have money or not which is vey rare .

about processing time of your application , these days is the best time to send your application , I just checked they are considering application who did biometric on 28th May 2012 , which mean they are so quick . when I submitted mine, it was in conflict with closure of PSW applications, so It took month and half to get everything how ever my friend was submitted his application on 7th may and he received everything back on 30th may .

Good luck and let me know if you have more question

Hi,

I am going to apply for this visa soon using 50K PSW route. I will be very thankful if you could advise on my query.

Actual, Someone is going to put 50K in my bank account, who has account in the same bank.

I will get a letter from the bank to show that I have access to 50K in my account and i dont want to show that I got it from a third party.

Now the only thing I am worrying about is how to show "the date of entry of money in UK" in the letter (as given in their template) as I am getting money from someone so the money has been in uk always , just being transferred to my account.

Thanks very much for your help in advance.
