Changing banks in middle of visa application

[RealGoldEnergyDrink]

A general question - we've applied to switch my partner's visa to an unmarried partner visa using FLR-M as a postal application. Has anyone else been in the same circumstance, and if so, how long has it taken them? I looked on the timelines thread but it's not clear who's applied via post and who hasn't...

I've just checked the timeline thread and most members appear to be stating whether postal or PSC.

You can assume that the majority of timelines will be postal applications as PSC applications are generally decided on the day of the appointment.

Have you submitted strong documented evidence proving an unmarried partnership of at least 2 years living together 'akin to marriage'?
What visa category is your partner switching from?

Hi,

We have submitted basically everything we have - council tax bills from last two years+ showing residence together for over the last two years, bank statements showing joint accounts, everything at the same address, evidence of meeting financial requirements etc... so hopefully should be straightforward.

She's switching from a Tier 4 student visa.

Hi,

I have (as per other posts) got a visa application going through for my partner to remain here, and I have supplied my bank statements (and payslips, etc) as evidence of my meeting the financial requirement. However I am rather sick of my current bank and want to switch. Does anyone know if it will cause issues if I were to switch banks and close the account the evidence was from before the visa application has completed?

I would suggest wait till your partner has their visa. HO can and often do contact banks to verify things.
