Hello,

To provide Financial Evidence, you mentioned 6 months Bank statements.
I have few questions on that:-
- Can statements be from multiple banks?
- Is there any minimum amount which bank account needs to maintain?
- suppose there is 1L in the bank account for 3 months and then applicant managed to arrange 3L more and deposited into their account. So when they print 6 months statement, it will show 3L deposited. Would that be a concern?
Can immigration department ask applicant that from where 3L money came etc..???
Do applicant need to prove from where funds came?


Cheers!!!

- Can statements be from multiple banks?

Yes, presumably all in the applicants name.

- Is there any minimum amount which bank account needs to maintain?

No.

- suppose there is 1L in the bank account for 3 months and then applicant managed to arrange 3L more and deposited into their account. So when they print 6 months statement, it will show 3L deposited. Would that be a concern?

You need to quote funds in £££, we are not all from South East Asia and HO based their assessments on GBP. Any sudden large deposits will be viewed as suspicious.

Can immigration department ask applicant that from where 3L money came etc..???

They won't ask for extra documents after submission. They base their decision on what is submitted and if no evidence of the funds is sent, HO might view that their financial circumstances are not as it appears.

Do applicant need to prove from where funds came?

It would be wise to do. Where would the funds come from as a matter of interest??
