[entreprenuer11]

Hi
My friend applied for tier 1 entrepreneur via student route on 1 december 2012. he received the underneath query but bank is not helping by giving the asked letter. what can he do? please suggest:

Dear Mr Khan,



I am emailing you with regards to your application to switch to Tier 1 Entrepreneur status. I am currently processing your application and in order to process this any further I need additional documents from you.



With regards to the evidence for entrepreneur funds you have provided, the letter from the Meezan Bank must state clearly that the funds available are disposable within the UK, this is not the case on the letter you have provided. Could you please provide me with an original (not photocopied or emailed) bank letter stating that the funds you have in the account with the Meezan Bank are disposable within the UK. This letter must be signed, dated and stamped.



If you could request said letter and return it to the address below by the 5th April 2012 I can continue with the consideration of your application.

This is basic requirement that funds must be disposable and freely transferable to UK. He must meet this requirement to claim 25 points.

I think your friend is lucky, that Case worker has given him chance to provide this letter. Otherwise case worker could have refused him straightaway.

Option 1. Just arrange the letter as template in policy guidance.

Option2. In case bank is not issuing this letter then transfer the funds to UK bank account and send UK bank statement with a covering letter.

Hi

One more suggestion that ask bank to write ,, Subject funds can be transferred anywhere in the world on account holders request.

If nothing works then open your account in JS bank Rawalpindi OR HBL In pakistan and i will get you the letter from these banks. please PM me if you wants to know the specific branch for this purpose.

Any update from your friend about his/her case?

Like tuliprose said your friend is pretty much lucky there. If you still have the funds in there then getting a letter from a bank will not be an issue at all. As far as I can see from the email your visa will be approved upon providing the letter.

Good Luck
