On line Payment & submission of Visa

[songz777]

Hi Guys.I have been following a link about this subject and have question.

I know that when my wife applies on line; the documents need to be up to date within 28 days..that is my last pay slip / bank statement. She must apply before my next one would appear.
Question:
Do these documents need to still under 28 days when she appears in person at the VFS? Or do the count it from the on line application & payment?

Example: My last payslip 26th of September my Bank Statment 12th October . She applies on line as soon as she recieves them, DOES she need to appear at the VFS before 26th October?



Many thanks

John

From my understanding John if you get paid on 26th september you dont need to wait for your last statement to come in october. You can go to the bank and get one up till 26th september. Just ask the bank to sign and stamp the statement. You can then apply online 27th of september.

Thanks Andy appreciate your help & advise.

John, the date of application is the date when the application fee is paid.
There should not be any documents more than 28 days old at that time. (This applies strictly to those documents relating to the Financial Requirement)
Here's what UKBA state:-

Where Appendix FM-SE requires the applicant to provide specified evidence relating to a period which ends with the date of application, that evidence must be dated no earlier than 28 days before the date of application.

You should take note of this:-

3.3.4. Bank statements must be on official bank stationery, or be electronic bank statements from an on-line account (defined as one that operates solely over the internet and sends bank statements to its customers electronically) which are either accompanied by a letter from the bank on its headed stationery confirming that the documents are authentic or which bear the official stamp of the issuing bank on every page.
3.3.5. The bank statements must cover the specified periods as described in the Immigration Rules for each of the sources of income relied upon.
3.3.6. As an alternative to a bank statement we will also accept:
 a building society statement or pass book; or
 a letter from the bank or building society; or
 a letter from a financial institution regulated by the Financial Services Authority or, for overseas accounts, the appropriate regulatory body for the country in which the
institution operates and the funds are located. The financial institution must not appear on the list of excluded institutions under Appendix P of the Immigration Rules.

John I'd suggest you discuss with your bank just how best to secure your statements. Many folks have reported resistance from the bank to stamp & date (certify) the printed statements. Minimise all risks.

Many thanks Terpe.. I will contact the Bank and ask if I can get them to sign & stamp a statement. Your a real blessing! John

Yes I had that trouble yesterday john apparently my bank HSBC will not stamp and sign your statement they told me its against company policy now. However they did say they will send me one in the post. It takes 3 - 5 working days.

No other hidden costs chief.It's a good idea and will make your wife feel a bit more comfortable on the day.

Go for it I would say.She will have to avail the VIP by request email.

I thought you had to provide the last 6 months statements to prove the financial requirements.

Am I getting it mixed up with something else john ?

No you are correct it is the last 6 months statements.. although I have given more simply as the date of my wifes application will be a month or so more than I anticipated.
So dont stress

Sorry John I'm a little confused about something.

What do you mean by the documents need to be up to date within 28 days ?

Do you mean the bank statements need to include a statement that is under 28 days old at the time of application, but six months or more worth are included in the application ?

Yes thats correct ... 6 months bank statements / pay slips. Then for example:
Pay slip 26th of the the month..go to bank & ask or upto date statemet.. pay for visa on line when you get that upto date one ... apply right away to the VFS or when the Mrs gets receives the last documenst via DHL etc.. of course if she pays by credit card she can apply her self but I guess better to wait for the documnets to come. The visa application begins from the moment the pay ment is made. So 28 days means you must have the bank statement no later than the next pay cheque going into your account ie: in my case the 26th of the next month. Hope this makes sense
