Dear Experts,
Following is my situation with respect to the PSW visa. It would be great if you could guide me through this situation.
I am currently in the UK with my wife and our visas (currently Tier 4 General Student and Tier 4 General Student Partner respectively) are due to expire on the 30th of January 2011. I will obtain my postgraduate degree on the 15th of December and intended to apply for the PSW on the 20th of December.
I had requested my bank to provide the statements for the period September 1st 2010 onwards and when I received the statements today I notice that on 27th September 2010 the amount in the bank went to £270 primarily due to new accommodation deposit standing order etc. However, the amount in the bank was £1000+ from 30th September 2010 onwards. This particular account is a joint account having both our names on it. We also have a separate account in my WIFE's name which has consistently had £1000+ since September 1, 2010. Would I be able to use these statements and believe that I would obtain a visa (We need to show £1333 for the both of us)?
If not, I have consistently had £1000+ from September 30th, 2010 till date and would expect it to remain the same till December 30th, 2010. My issue now is that if I were to go to the bank and ask for statements covering September 30th to December 30th on the 31st of December, it would take 4 to 5 working days for me to receive the statements - assume it to be the 7th or 8th of January, 2011. Even if I were to apply on the 10th of January, wouldn't it be late considering the processing times for the visa at the UKBA? Or should I rather try to get a letter from the bank stating that I had £1000+ in the account for 3 months. If so, would you please share a format for the letter required?
Apologies for the rather detailed post, but I thought of being clear of the situation rather than giving a vague post saying HELP! Hope to hear from you soon.
Cheers, AjA!
