peterb, i think it was your other evidence that counted, and as always with a VV, a bit of luck played a part in your misses getting a VVOriginally Posted by PeterB
you shouldn't really send online bank statements as they can easily be faked, and because of the data protection act, i don't think the embassy can verify anything about the contents of your bank accounts, that's the reasons you shouldn't supply them.
i know many people who have used them and got a visa. but maybe the other evidence played a major part in getting the visa
this is from UKBA, its for Tier 1 apps, but you get the idea..
The personal bank or building society statements should clearly show:
* your name;
* the account number;
* the date of the statement;
* the financial institution's name and logo;
* transactions covering the three-month period;
* that there is enough funds present in the account; and
* that there has been enough money present in the account for the past three months.
If you wish to send electronic bank statements from an online account these must contain all of the details listed above. In addition, you will need to send a supporting letter from your bank, on company headed paper, confirming the authenticity of the statements sent.
i know in the past for settlement visas, it did say not to use online statements, but many people no longer have a choiceand maybe thats why they have accepted them ?
