From personal understanding, can't see why not. If the print-out contains consistent information re acc sort code, acc no, opening and closing balances, etc, and is certified by the bank then can't see how they can reject it.

This seems to be the general observation however no one knows exactly what happens inside UKBA on this. We're still trying to gather more evidence of this

I'm not sure where you got your advice from but if you have any understanding of the British culture you will know that drink driving is a VERY serious offence. With regard to your opinion of being clean if a fine is paid, I can use the same arguments to apply to the following scenario: man goes on ...

The latest one you received should be your current one. All previous visas would have been cancelled on this one being issued. It might not show on your passport but it would show on UKBA databases

Last year someone waited for 37 weeks I think before they received their approval.

Hello everyone Im still waiting, can I ask something not to do with the long stay application but it for ILR, for my sister, work permit, she sent her application last week and found out from the bank that something was wrong with the cheque so the bank did not cash it, her visa ran out on 31st Jul...

Think it says on the PC info sheet that you can get fined 6k and six months in prison for not carrying it, so they do take it seriously. They are the standard terms I think, but it'll take a few steps to get there with the first being a warning. IMO the training in this area varies greatly amongst ...

If you don't have British residency how does your children have British citizenship? or am I missing something here?

I wonder if you don't declare your absence, how would you explain the lack of landing cards during this period to certify your presence in / return to this country or am I just being dumb? Eight months unexplained absence is not an attractive property to have on your application. As sushdmehta has p...

Answers one of my totally unrelated queries too. Perfect answer indeed.

As repeatedly mentioned before, the consultation has not finished so no extra information than is already in the public domain. You'll probably end up in the PC route but no one is 100% sure. The way the Tories are so keen on p!ssing on everything Labour did they might just fvck up the immigration r...

I was actually thinking of doing it asap while expecting the process to take ages. Shame (seems unlikely for me to say that) that it only took mine that number of weeks to come through. Does anyone know if we are able to raise concerns regarding the whole process in general? I'm sure I have a few th...

I guess the reason they don't allow it is that it is an investment and any investment can lose its value, sometimes drastically, over time. If UKBA can figure out the details from the documents you provide then it's a no no for me. It doesn't matter how the account can be operated but the nature of ...

Check your visa again. It might say something along the lines of "Code 2" which is code word for what John explained. Beware that as a masters student your summer vacation is supposed to be used for writing up your dissertation so is classed as term-time unlike the undergraduates. Conseque...

Depends on a number of things. Firstly when does your visa expire? I would hazard a guess at end of December / January? Secondly when will your degree ceremony be? THirdly will you be pursuing further studies? IMO a port official will not normally refuse you entry especially if you had a few months ...

I'm struggling to understand how this situation arose. If you had your passport ages ago why did you not correct it? Now the only option left for you is to get either documents corrected in time. You might be able to get your passport reissued at your country's embassy using their express service or...

IIRC Singh is not a proper surname in Sikh culture (assuming you're Sikh that is) but as real surnames are not normally disclosed to the general public in Western cultures we have accepted them (and Kaur) as surnames.

I would think that it would not be a problem, unless the caseworker is THAT stupid.

I have never reported any changes in my addresses or visa extension ( it was not simply ignorance but I have not realised I had to do so) This is what 'ignorance' means and unfortunately it is up to the individual to read the T&C on the registration certificate and report any changes asap. The ...

If you only recently discovered that your passport was lost then file a police report asap so that at least you have some proof of that. In the absence of the missing passport you can submit as much information as you have to prove your stay in the UK, and the list of documents accepted are listed u...

I'd think that a postal order would be more secure and eliminates the problem of you being doubly-charged. Remember this is UKBA. They're not as efficient as you might think.

They should and when you receive your SAR file, check the records carefully. They should have recorded the date of the postmark as your 'case raised' date. As long as this one's 'in time' you'll be fine. If there's a mistake then you might need to provide your postal receipts as proof that the appli...

Sushdmehta is correct. However just be aware that it is widely expected that Long Residence category be discontinued in the immigration reform that is implemented from July 2011 onwards, although nothing is set in stone yet. Make sure you keep up with the developments

If is was court ordered then unfortunately you do, even if the points have expired.

Just to clarify, there is NO need to submit extra information. UKBA can probably gauge from your previous leaves as to what you have been up to anyway. Criminal records? They have databases readily available
