Hi everyone,

I've recently submitted my SET(LR) Application on Sunday, 10th Jan. I have an appointment with UKVCAS on the 4th Feb for my documents and biometrics.

I'm currently unemployed due to the pandemic and I've indicated that in the application. Would I need to submit a bank statement?

I went to the bank this morning and I've obtained a one-month bank statement, 7th December 2020 - 10th January 2021, stamped with today's date (12th Jan) which is two days after my application date (10th Jan). I also got another one-month statement, 1st December 2020 - 12th January 2021, also stamped with today's date (12th Jan). Would any of those suffice and which one would you recommend?

Thanks.

Bank statements are not required to be submitted for Set LR applications.

Thank you for getting back to me. Would it hurt my application if I submitted a bank statement anyways? I'm worried that because I'm unemployed the Home Office might be curious about my finances.

It won't, no. Set LR has nothing to do with employment status, so it doesn't matter. Home Office process applications according to the rules and guidance, and nowhere in any Set LR rules or guidance are finances stated, so you're fine not to submit. If you want and insist on submitting that anyway, then you may submit whichever one you want/like.
