i.need.help wrote: Just incase my last post was a little confusing… The date you print it or the date you get it stamped is irrelevant. But yes you 100% need to get your statements stamped by the bank. An official letter from the bank stating the statements are genuine will also be fine. Some banks don't stamp statements. So if your bank refuses, get a letter from them on headed paper.
I got that anyways, I can't thank you guys enough.everyone on this forum is so helpful.Thanx again :)
i get those stamped last time as well. So there should not be any problem.I will get the account confirmation letter from bank also..i did that last time as well.

I'm not sure. If you followed the 28 day rule. You should be fine.

Maybe another member can give their opinion.

i think you posted the rule. Documents need to be within 28 days of application. But what i did not understand is what do they refer to as application? the online application or day of biometrics??

zakikhan wrote:Plus adding a new statement after the online application could be a HUGE mistake. The ECO may count that as being your final statement which it will be if you add it and he/she then could say you don't meet the financial requirements because your last bank statement is not within the time frame of the online submission.

my last statement was Junes. Online application 11th JUly. Biometrics Appointment 27 July.

That is right...right?? Stressing a bit now loll

your fine :)

You only need to submit 1 bank statement to show evidence of the benefit going into your account. The bank statement can be from any month but no older than 12 months.

Your wife needs to send you all the documents so you can add yours and send everything to Sheffield.
