Confusion b/w 2 options ( maintenance funds)

[mhkhan]

Guys need your help again.

I need to decide between which is the best option to apply for my maintenance funds.

option 1:

An official bank [b]letter[/b] explaining the funds ( current acount) have been maintained for the last 3 months. Enough funds for the family. Letter signed and stamped. It fulfills all conditions stated in the Guidelines.

I cannot show the statement as this particular bank doesnt stamp its statements .

Doubt: It is a joint account between me , my wife and sister- in-law. so three names on the account. But I know that is acceptable as per the Guidelines but still am not sure if it makes it more complicated.


Option 2:
bank statement of Savings account from another bank with exactly 3 months history. Its a Joint account with my wife. Funds enough to show for me only.

Doubt: Statement which is stamped and is on the letterhead is of a sloppy format and despite collected from the branch looks more like an electronic ledger statement thus doesnt look convincing. I can get the account confirmation letter though.

My personal preference is Option 1 ( bank letter) as that has all the conditions stated in the guidelines.

Appreciate help in making me decide.

Many thanks,

It would recommend Option 1. Letter from bank will corroborate original bank statement (not stamped). This should be fine.

Joint account with sister in law - I would avoid that kind of proof. If that is the only option, however, provide some evidence that the funds are available to you anytime you want.
