Congrats Sadiq,

I applied for my initial hsmp though an agency, and later came to know that everything is available on this forum.

All you need is a little time.

Good that you realised this in time.

Regards
Challenges make life worth it!

Hi letmec2006,
good question ! i had to struggle a lot to get my statements on the ICICI bank letter head but unfortunately they refused, so i personally went to my ICICI bank branch and got my statemts on a bank stationary with ICICI bank logo, seal and signature on a dot matrix printer and requested them to change the printer ribbon so that it appears to be clear.

and for funds maintainance i requested for a letter stating my 3 months bank balance and min balance during that period.

Hi Sadiq
I know you have got ur things with name.
But wondered is the online printout with bank stamp on it is not enough for entry clearance, because I know its enough for incountry applicants.

Yes this is acceptable, read this

What the bank statements must show

Bank statements you send must be on official bank stationery, and must show each of the payments that you are claiming. If you wish to send electronic bank statements from an online account you should also send a supporting letter from the bank on company headed paper confirming that the documents are authentic. Alternatively, electronic bank statements with the official stamp of the bank that issued the statements will be accepted. The stamp must appear on every page of the statement.
