original bank statement for spouse visa

[ana ali]

How can I get original bank statement for spouse visa.

Last time I got refused because entry clearance officer said statement are photocopies.

Though my husband went to NatWest branch to get original bank statement they gave him black-and-white bank statement and said its original. But got refused due to that..

How can I get original statement?

Can I use the uncolored statement with stamped and letter from bank for visa?

Does NatWest give a letter of authencity and stamped?

Please give me suggestion and share experience?

Call the customer service line, number is on your card. Ask for last 6 months bank statements (or whatever you need), these will be original but may say duplicate on them. Still acceptable as mine said this on them.

Or you get them to sign and stamp the statements or give a letter confirming statements are original.

But if you order on phone or online and they come via post then they are usually originals.

Hi,

Sorry to ask a question in someone else post but the question is related to bank statments!

I have online banking with barclays. Do you think printing online statment in colour pages and submit it with the settlement application would be acceptable ?

Not unless it is signed & stamped by the issuing bank, or they provide a letter confirming it is authentic.

Barclays provide the exact same statements online as the postal ones, with the bank logo and everything, Only difference will be the quality of the printing and paper used when you print them.

What i did was to change my preference from online statement to postal delivery for the period required and used them for settlement application.

On the other hand, print the online statements in colour on some quality paper and take them to your local branch. Mine were happy to stamp them there and then (though this was four years ago).
