Re: Cash Savings Question for FLR M

Yes, we declared cash savings filled out all the appropriate questions.

If I get the statments as proof of relationship do they have to be stamped?

Cash Savings Question for FLR M

I know we need statements for the cash savings which we have all done way above the mark so good on that end but should we still include my husbands bank statements ( everyday bank account) and mine stamped?

So great news my son got approved, In my package, I did not get a letter saying it was approved but just the visa stamped saying Valid From 08/01/2020 until 06/04/2020.

If it is not, UKVI will correct it for free provided you provide some evidence that you clearly stated a specific date. UKVI also clearly states not to book flights until the visa has been approve...
