The bank refused to give him a letter as per the template that is included in policy guidance (Annex E). They gave him a letter just confirming that the money is held in his bank account and is available to him. He has given the bank in writing that he has made the money available to me. I just wanted to know would this be acceptable?
Kind regards

Hello Yaseen,syedys wrote:Thanks Olasunkanmi
Last week I received a letter from Home Office. They said the bank letter for my third party sponsor did not contain enough information, and asked me to provide another letter containing all the information that the HO needs. My brother went to the bank again, and talked to them, he even gave them in writing, that he has kept £50k for me to invest. The bank said they can't provide the letter in such details, however they gave him a letter which confirmed that the letter couldn't be issued. The letter even mentions the home office reference number, my name, and my brother's name. I have sent that letter to the home office now, along with a cover letter, and a letter that my brother gave to the bank (which the bank refused to take).
Do you think my visa will be refused? Will this letter help me in appeal?
Regards

Sorry to hear that. Atleast the case worker got in touch with you and told the papers were not enough before refusal, otherwise most of them just send you the refusal straight away.syedys wrote:My visa was refused today, on the same grounds. They said the letter was not enough. It didn't contain all the information they need.

I think you're best off seeking professional advice, because it's not worth the stress.syedys wrote:Could anyone kindly reply? Because I am really confused now, whether I should transfer the money to my account or not.
Kind regards
