Original bank statements are fine; they don't need a stamp. The stamp is necessary where the document is not an original e.g. a printout from online banking. The stamp confirms the document is genuine. For those reading this forum who have some time before their application, perhaps make sure your ...

Just use original statements. I have renewed using original statements and I know of several others who have done the same thing. There is absolutely no issue with using original statements. How about what is written here ? http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/working/tier1/investor/...

Hey mmcy, This is a Tier1(g) forum and you have provider T1(investor) link so if you have question for investor, this forum is not the right place. In addition, many of members have confirmed that original statements work. I am unsure what exactly you are looking for. I would advice you to read oth...

Not sure where you got this source of information. HSBC original statements (on their letterhead) works fine. I have got my extension done and my spouse's visa processed using HSBC original statements (from branch as well as via duplicate statement). I didn't have any stamps on it. Cheers, Manish I...

Is it an original statement? If so, you don't need it stamped. (At least, those were the rules last time I checked.) It seems that it could be accepted but there's a chance that it would be refused as well. I read on another source of information that if you order the statements by mail, there will...

I went through the same experience. There was a young girl at the reception who made sure I wasn't seen by any of the banking officers. I got pissed off and thought there was no way out of this. But there are two ways this can be done. 1. Visit a branch that is close to the UKBA offices. They under...

Change bank? The bank is a service provider, or is meant to be, and if it will not provide the service you want, well change to a bank that will provide what you want. Thank you John for your answer. As the portfolio is 100% UK guilts, once the tranfer to another bank is done, how to inclued in the...

HSBC refusal to stamp statements : Is UKBA ok with it ?

Hello everybody, As I read it in previous posts, I'm not the only one complaining about HSBC not stamping its bank statements. As a holder of a portfolio in this bank, as well as a Tier1 investor visa, this makes me quite nervous as the report must be stamped by the bank as per UKBA request. What is...
