HELP-SHOWING FUNDS FOR VISA APPLICATION

[mitch94]

Hello,

My house was broken into last night and I was devastated to find out that the burglars used my bank card for transactions before I could terminate the card.

After the transactions the balance fell below the minimum amount required by the UK immigration and it was in the third week of the 28 day period.

In my application form I have typed in "Bank statement and Bank letter" for evidence provided for funds and I am eager to know how will this affect my application if I continue to submit my bank statement and letter with the balance below the required amount as I am a "low risk" national?

Thank you.

Sorry for excluding the details. I will be submitting the hard copy documents to the visa office in Malaysia on the 12th of August. Given the circumstances I will not have the time to wait for another 28 days for another bank statement.

As I am a low risk national, will it be ok for me to correct my response for "evidence provided for funds" to "evidence not required under guidance, but withheld by applicant" using pen on my printed form along with a covering letter explaining that as I am a low risk national I will not have to submit evidence for my funds?

Thank you.

That's not what I asked! On what date did you, or will you, *apply*?

I applied on the 23rd of July.

I applied on the 23rd of July.

You therefore declared on 23 July that the relevant amount of money has been held in your name for 28 days. That is the evidence you should have, relating to the application date. How does money that was stolen last night come into it?

Oh, I didn't know that the money must be held in my name for 28 days before I submitted my application. I was under the implication that it can be anytime before or after submitting the application online as long as it is 28 days, in which I only banked in the funds on the 7th of July.

So that leaves me no choice to correct my printed form right? Will that be much of a problem for low risk nationals?

I would advise withdrawing your application and applying again when you have held the relevant sum for 28 days. As it stands, you have given false information in your application: you confirmed you had the money, and evidence of having the money, when you didn't actually have either. Sorry.
