Applying for the settlement visa for my wife, Is the date of submitting the online application or the date of appointment considered as the end point for financial savings being held for 6 months?

Date of online application, mine was refused because I went by date of biometrics appointment.

Thank you for the replies here, they are appreciated. Sorry to hear about your experience shakoorh. The date of submitting an online application was the 4th, and my savings were present 6 months prior to this on that month's 4th too, so hopefully this shall not be an issue.

Does it matter that these savings were transferred between accounts (of the same name), i.e a current account to a savings account? In my case, I'll be providing all statements from the accounts.
