If you apply with a month missing the application will be refused.

my wife she just printed online one from july , but it's not stamped or signed

[Casa]

It must be stamped by the issuing bank or it will be rejected. I suggest if you're short of time that your wife gets the issuing bank to stamp the online copy and she then sends it to you by courier, DHL as one example.

[akhan48]

Unfortunately that won't be sufficient. If it's a copy it needs to be stamped by the bank as a minimum.

[Casa]

I've already said that.

[matthymeine]

I've already said that.

she said it looks the same from my online account , she wants to send it to me as a print one , i dont think that i ll pay 900 pounds to get a refused visa , because of this

[Casa]

Don't risk it. Entry Officers are trained to spot documents that aren't original. I'll suggest again, get the issuing bank to stamp the copy and have it sent for a few pounds by courier.

Yeah true thanks for your support , i made my wife read ur reply then she believed
and she sent documents today via royal mail she paid extra money for fast arrival , because she couldnt find DHL delivering where i live

[matthymeine]

Is it OK if the aliment of my wife i ll apply with my app for financial requierement , a certified copy from lawyer , do we need original ??? they just did it by lawyer, they didnt go through court or CSA , her -ex was fine to do it , do we need original ??

[Casa]

The legally certified copy you have will be fine.

How long does it take to become a british citizen Casa ??

[MPH80]

5 years of being in the country as a spouse + the time it takes for the application (weeks) + the time it takes for the citizenship ceremony to be booked (more weeks).

[Casa]

But 6 years if a couple have divorced, assuming the applicant was previously able to qualify for permanent residence. But be aware that the information MPH40 has given you may well have changed by the time you have completed your 5 year probationary period. Every year when the rules are changed things get tougher.

My speedy name got halved ...

[Casa]

Ah...sorry MPH80...there was a temporary speed restriction.
