I submitted both current and savings account statements during appeal for Tier 1 Dependent refusal. Each of the statements individually had more than the requirement. It worked.
Called AIT today and they said the appeal bundle has been forwarded by UK post to AIT. This means they have not overturned the decision locally at the Post. Will reapply now with a fresh application. Called up Post today at Bombay BHC and got a pleasant surprise. They said that the ECM has overturn...
sorry to hear this. Since the hardlining of immigration policy I am seeing an increasingly closed BA that isn't forthcoming in many of its decisions. Have patience.... law of the land
Called AIT today and they said the appeal bundle has been forwarded by UK post to AIT. This means they have not overturned the decision locally at the Post. I submitted all original bank statements preceeding the original date of application with the appeal application. Needless to say it had more t...

fixed deposits are acceptable. You will need to produce original fixed deposit receipts in your name or joint with your wife. No other supporting document is required to prove that the FD is original. I had shown FD to support 2.5 lacs and 1.5 lacs in bank deposit for me and 1 dependant. Note - This...
