Bank Statement of the Applicant

[Terpe]

Help, I have a little dilemma, I have submitted my spouse visa last week. Until now, I have not heard from the whiteys yet. My husband is eager for me to fly to wet and cold UK.

I am not sure what took them longer this time to process. (My previous visit visas were refused in just 1 day processing) Can anyone here tell me if me and hubby submitted the right documents?
- certs from shares and investments
- bank statements (but hubby doesn't put savings in the bank goes to investments so there are over withdrawals)
- mortgage statement of the house (showing that he got only this last month to pay and then mortgage is fully paid)
- council tax
- let payments of properties from his letting agent
- p60
- payslips
- photocopy of his company ID
- utility bills (electric and gas)
- Budget plan

Do you think would this be enough from him as a sponsor. I have submitted the papers last week though. Just feeling a little impatient because it has been 1 week and only got message that it is still being processed. My husband's birthday is in 3 weeks time.

purple,

Just keeping it simple:-

In terms of accomodation

Details of suitable accomodation
Mortgage payments that appear in the bank statements.
A letter from the mortgage provider and ideally an appropriate entry from the Land Registry


In terms of finances

Evidence that you can support yourselves without recourse to public funds.
Normally, pay slips for at least the last 3 months(6 months is better)
(P60 if no pay slips available)
Bank statements for at least the last 3 months (6 months is better)

Notes: disproportionate deposits and withdrawals in the bank statements need
to be clearly explained in the sponsor's letter.
Bank statements should not really show overdrawn accounts
Showing evidence of savings will help

I assume that all other docs you supplied are in line with UKBA requirements.

It may be taking some time to process as you submitted quite a lot of financial docs

Thanks a lot Terpe... so looks like it will take weeks for them. I've told hubby but won't listen to me. Thinks he is always right. (sigh)

purple,

The ECO is not an accountant. They need to very easily see that finances are OK or not.
Just hang on in there, shouldn't take too much longer.
I guess your hubby just wants to do the best he can.
Like all men.

I hope so... tnx a lot Terpe, you just make me feel better.
a bit frustrated because I've applied for visit visas before april (first general visit) second september (family visit) after we got married but all were refused, eco was not convinced I will return but I think its because I applied for wrong category of visa which hubby thinks was right visa. I wonder if its got something to do with previous applications. I mentioned both with references in my spouse application. As I recall, previous applications will not affect my present one. Is that right?
