Posted: Fri Sep 25, 2009 5:49 am Post subject: Joint Account of my wife with her mother
Dear Members,
My case for Tier 1 is gone for Administrative Review as the bank statements submitted by me were electronic duly stamped without bearing logo. I submitted proofs of Rs. 6,70,000 for main applicant. In the other account maintained at HSBC (India) I submitted a joint statement of Time deposit a/c no. 052 and current account 006. The time deposit had a fixed amount of 3 lacs which ECO overlooked and just saw only 006 and commented on that. Any way I hope to get it through.
Now I want the senior members to suggest that my wife has FDR in the joint name of her as well as her mother. Can that be considered for maintenance funds?
Also Do i need to send the FDR or a letter from the bank manager stating that she has adequate funds for the last one year or so ?
Also If I get a letter from the bank that my wife has been sanctioned a loan amount of say Rs. 5 lacs which she can use at any time, will it work
Thanks,
TVOMP2

Many thanks to the forum and to all who has provided me with valuabe advise
My initial appln was sent back to me due to old photograph. My money got refunded in about 8 days. I reapplied on 10 Sep for me and my family while in UK. I received today all the doc and passport stamped.
Though I could see the visa is stamped dated 1st Oct but I received it only today(29th Oct) which is bit surprising. Again I enclosed a special delivery envelope but the post came thru the ones generally sent by HO and not the special delivery envelope.

Application type : In country (Within UK)
Points claimed : 35( master degree)+35(previous earning)+5(uk exp)=75
( HO awarded me with 40 points modifying my claim of 35 in earning)
Application sent : 10Sep (by next day delivery to Durham)
Payment deducted : 11 sep
Reference letter : received after 2 days
Visa stamped : Oct 1st
Documents received : 29th Oct ( by recorded delivery from Sheffield)
Total turnaround time : 6 weeks

Thanks to all again!!!

I got my Tier 1 General visa in just 5 working days. My application was very straight-forward. Details are as under:
VFS Centre: Pune
Applied: 22/10/09 11am
Method of payment: D.D. (Rs. 54000 fees + 200 courier + 20 SMS service)
Visa stamping date: 26/10/09
SMS received saying "Visa Processed and couriered": 27/10/09 4.55pm
Courier received: 28/10/09 2pm
Valid till: 26/10/12 (I put my travel date in the form as 20/11/09 but they started the visa well-ahead)
Forms used:
1)Tier 1: Personal Details (Old Version i.e. VAF9 MAR 2009)
2)APPENDIX 1: SELF- ASSESSMENT (New Version i.e. VAF9 OCT 2009)
Hence, they are still accepting old forms for 'Personal Details' as I applied on 22nd and the ruling to use old-forms is only uptil 21st
And how can I forget:
THANK YOU immigrationboards.com's valuable forum...I owe it to YOU!!

Hi,

I got my T1 through WHITE ROSE VISAS based at Sheffield. Quick and great job! Everything was done in a span of just 3 days! I met them on tuesday and on thursday, passports were in hand with the T1 visas.

I would recommend them highly.
