Thanks a lot Seagul.

Thank you Seagul, The funds have been held at required amount for more than 3 years. I have several years of old statements from my U.K bank showing how the money was saved yearly in an ISA as well as U.K bank documents showing the transfer from U.K account to my foreign account. As the balance is a...

Hello everyone, I wonder if any of you may be able to help ... we have cash savings (90,000 GBP) in a foreign account. It satisfies the rules, please see below: '7.4.16. Appendix FM-SE specifies further requirements for cash savings: 11A. In respect of cash savings: (a) The savings may be held in an...

Thank you both, yes your assumption is correct, we have over 62.5 k plus extra for currency exchange fluctuations, it's untouched for 6 months. Best of luck with your application.

Hi Everyone, I am a British citizen living abroad (non EU country) with my husband. Can I be living abroad at the time of us submitting his spouse visa application? Or must I return to U.K permanently first? We would be applying under cash savings, accommodation at mother's house, she is sole reside...

Hi Windtalker,

Congratulations!!! Really good to see all your hard work has paid off.

Thanks a lot for the info, it helps to know.

Did they return your folder to you with the passport?

Hi, This is a question for those who have recently submitted at New Delhi: How did you present your application - did you use a plastic document wallet, ring binder or foolscap paper folders or something else? Or does VFS not permit the use of these? Great news Windtalker, all the best mbist! Thanks

Hi Windtalker,

Thanks a lot for your reply, it's given me some idea. I've also heard from others that if the file is too big Vfs will use two courier bags with the same reference number, so I will be fine. Wishing you a successful outcome.

Hi, thank you for your reply. I'm thinking if the U.S VFS operate a limit other VFSs may have the same rule. In real terms the age gap is 5 years, but on paper e.g birth certificate, passport etc my husbands date of birth is 13 years younger. It can't be corrected as there is no alternate proof. So ...

Hi everyone, I'm going to submit our application at Delhi in a few weeks and wanted to ask - has anyone submitted a large file, say 3 inches thick of A4 sheets (not including photo copies) at Delhi VFS? Do VFS Delhi have an upper limit as to how large your file can be? Or will they accept the amount...

Hi Michali,

Good to hear from you, thanks for replying.

I've read your information in another thread and was really pleased to see you did it via the Fixed Deposits.

May I ask did they use the latest balance you provided or was it the balance six months prior to the application?

Many thanks

Hi Casa, Thanks a bunch for your prompt reply, really appreciate it. It doesn't specify any minimum time period, so could I do the closure of the FD and transfer to the instant access account even a week before submitting the online application? I know it would be better to have it in the instant ac...

Here's what I have been looking at, it's on page 51 ... I would really appreciate your comments .. Thank you 7.4.9.This means that, where the cash savings have previously been held as investments (including where they have been held in an investment account which does not meet the requirements of pa...

Thanks again Wanderer .... Looking at the guidance though it says the time the money was in non liquid form before its transfer to the liquid account can count towards the required six months ???

Hi Wanderer,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

When I close the FD it will be going into a savings account, which has instant access, passbook and monthly statements.

Dear all, This is my first post here, but I have visited many times and am grateful to admin and members, your posts and replies have helped me loads, thank you. I am the sponsor and I will be using the cash savings category for my husbands visa app. I have a Fixed Term Deposit in India, started in ...
