Many thanks firstly, for all the support you have given me and all the other members on this forum.
My wife has now completed 2.5 year on her Spouse Visa (route to 5yr settlement) and we are applying for the 2.5 yr extension. I have all documents required and meet the financial requirements.
However, there's been a small hiccup. My latest back statement for Jul22 was not generated and HSBC are saying this could be due to not enough transactions being made from the account. I mainly use this for my salary and use another account for expenses, so there are not many transactions made. I visited the branch and requested them for a letter or to stamp an online copy of transactions statement from internet banking but they refused to so.It's not exactly a problem to be worried about. But I get it.
As I understand, UKVI need recent bank statements (not older than 28 days), however my last proper statement is from 22 June 2022. I have printed an online copy from internet banking for July 2022 and it shows all transactions up to 1st August 2022, will this suffice? It doesn't show my name but has the account numer and sort code etc.
Should I add something in my sponsor letter to clarify this or would it be best not to? Was thinking of the excerpt below
"We have taken every effort to provide all documents required as part of the application. However, my most recent HSBC personal account bank statement (July 22) was not generated by HSBC. Upon enquiring with the bank, they mentioned this could be due to not many transactions made on the account. HSBC advised downloading an online copy (uploaded with this application), from my HSBC internet banking portal showing recent transactions up until 2nd August to work around this issue. All previous HSBC statements have been provided and I hope the online statement for July 22 is acceptable to you. Please do get in touch (email/phone) with me if this is required as HSBC have assured me the next statement will be generated and posted to me by 25th Aug 2022 and I can provide this should you require it. I sincerely hope you appreciate this completely unexpected situation and consider the online statement as proof.
"You can add all that. Everything is online anyways and the online statement should suffice.
Also, is my understanding correct that we are not reuired to complete VAF 4 or any other forms, when applying for extension from within UK? The online form would signpost you to all that is required.
Any advice appreciated.

I am just thinking it might be better to not mention it specifically, as you said most banking is now online anyway.
Any idea how much time do we have for document upload. I read somewhere up until biometric appointment correct, but do we know how many hours\days prior to the appointment does the document upload window close? Wonder why you want to narrow it to the latest hours, contact HO for such specifics
No one is commenting cause there's really nothing to tell you apart from the fact that you need to wait.confusedukdesi wrote: ↑Wed Jan 18, 2023 1:17 pmHi experts,
Please can someone comment on my query. We are still waiting for a decision since September, when we attended the biometrics appointment.
When I log back into my application, I still see the "Further Actions to complete" screen, although I've done all of that - Downloading consent form, attending biometric appointment etc. I don't see any buttons on the page to mark them as complete.
Please can someone confirm there is nothing else I need to do.

Please can someone confirm there is nothing else I need to do. As of now there is nothing else for you to do beside exercise patience while you await the decision on your application.
