Point 1 should be fine. Aug 31st was a Bank Holiday and hence the credit appears on 1set September. Point 2 should also be fine if the statement says, Bank - Giro Credit or Counter Credit. These are references used by banks which will appear only if credited by employer. (If someone else credits mon...

The current processing times are about 25 days in an average. If your Visa expires on 13th March, there is a high probability that you will get your Visa stamped before that, if you send by the middle of January by post. In my opinion, unless there is a need (like urgent travel required etc), postal...

This should not be a problem as this is a common practise during December.

Mention the credited date and if the amounts match exactly and also if the dates match for the other 11 months, you should be fine.

Yes you of course can. Just mention in the covering letter clearly. For maintenance funds ensure that 1. The required minimum balance is there on all the 90 days claimed (not even less by 1p even on 1 day 2. The statement is dated within 30 days of the application date. hi, can i use same bank state...
