Thanks for detail info.

Could you please clarify below queries.

1) Can you please confirm which of following type of bank statements you kept for 90 days maintenance funds and 50k investment funds

a) Did you keep electronic bank statement having UK bank stamp on it or b) Did you keep original bank statements or
c) Did you keep bank statement with bank letter head or
d) Bank balance letter with letter head and manager sign for investment funds.


2) Did you maintain 50k Investment funds till your Visa is approved.

3) I have kept LLoyds UK bank balance letter for investment funds. Is that OK for UK BA to approve Visa ?

4) I have withdrawn my 200k funds from India and UK banks after applying Visa. Does this give them chance of refusing my entrepreneur Visa.

5) In your previous post, you said that you have again submitted up to date bank statement to UK BA for your maintenance funds - till what date you have submitted bank statement for your maintenance funds. Could you please give me your 90 days duration you claimed for your second time submission. I hope if you can submit the statement with date near to date of visa application date which should satisfy 28 days rule, that should be sufficient . Could you please confirm.

Could you please give more information on all above queries.


Hi
I kept 900 pound statement for 90 days and since the day I applied for visa till I received visa I kept both 50000 pounds and 900 pounds in my account.

I showed both 50000 and 900 in lloyds accounts and gave UKBA just original statements which we receive in post.

I would ask you to give UKBA original statement which you will get in post.

I have no idea about your question number 4. Please ask any lawyer about it.

Maintenance statement I provided UKBA was from 16th May till 18th Oct showing a continue balance of 900.

I hope you get your answers :)

You just have to be patient. Their turnaround time has increased considerably over the past month. There is no way of contacting them to inquire if they have received your application. I reckon you should get an acknowledgement letter in the next few days. Good luck!

You can keep the money long enough to get the statement and letters(if out of uk) from bank but
you should also think of of a plan if the UKBA requests an updated statement ?
