Residency 13A Proof of financial Capacity

[keith britten]

I applied for a 13a visa last November and I was'nt asked for a police record report and was granted a 12month probationary residents visa. I did however have a police report that I got from the uk before O came here, Just walk into any police station and ask for one, the cost is 10 quid. As for proof of financial status I just gave them 3 months bank statements from my uk bank.

Looks like you had good timing Keith

The new requirements came in sometime during January 2013
Everyone still climbing that learning curve to understand how the BI will apply them ( or not )
