Dear Vivek,

may I know why did they ask additional bank statements?

regards
mah
Dear mah,

Actually, for the maintenance fund, we need £800 for last three month. I have enough money in my account for last last three months but unfortunately, the processing time is bit longer than expected. I don't know the perticular reason but I think they want to see the funds more than last three months.

I have shown May, June and July statements but i don't have £800 in my account in the month of april. So i think this could be one reason.

Thanks,

Vivek

My application was received on the 16th of September & the payment deducted on the 17th.
I am still waiting for the decision.
Are there anyone else out there who sent their application before September mid & haven't yet got their approvals.

Sarrock did you include the self addressed envelope. And when you received your documents back.

Is there anything else you think contributed to fast response

seanjoe, why was your application returned?
did you make a fresh application since then?
Or did you sent the same application correcting the error?

My application was also returned since 1 of the fields was not filled in.
Should I also sent the new maintenance funds documents also?
