Cash Savings Gift Evidence

[vsab101]

Hi everyone,
I wonder if you guys could help me with regards to the cash savings. I believe I need cash savings of £62000 for spouse visa application, i have £30,000 and rest will be gifted to me from my parents. now the question is do they need proof of where my parents got the money? or is it just where did i get it from?

Thanks in advance.

I have seen this cash savings requirement pop up on the websites... I was under the impression it is £16,000 not 60k+ ? And it needs to have been inside your account for 6 months or more.

No point asking the question now when you already applied for the visa in January.

If you have not held ALL the savings of £62,000 for the full 6 months, then you need to provide evidence of where the money came from. It cannot be a loan for you or for your parents. Even if held for 6 months, HO can still ask for proof of where funds came from.

Thanks for the response, I was thinking of withdrawing the application and reapply with priority since they are taking long due to being a company director.
