HELP PLSEarnings - HSMP to Tier 1 Extension - Confused state

Post by kamal_ece » Tue Jan 12, 2010 2:08 pm

Hi,

My visa will be expired on 28th January 2010 and applying under Extension Tier 1 from HSMP.

I'm planning to post the application on 18th January 2010. This delay was waiting for the missing Bank Statements.

Today I received the Bank Statements via post while I was in Bank collecting the Bank statements in person from Natwest.:)

I'm applying for the Period of November 2009 to October 2009.

I have all the Original Payslips from November 2008 to December 2009.

The Bank Statements cycle is monthly on 12th.

Bank Statements I have Original for the period :

1) Nov 12 2008 to Dec 12 2008 --> Original Bank Statement - reflects the November Payslip values

2) Dec 12 2008 to Jan 12 2009 --> Original Bank Statement - reflects the December Payslip values

3) Jan 1st 2009 to Jan 29th 2009 --> Bank transactions received via post and also have attested copies of Bank statements. - reflects the January Payslip values

PS : there is missing info here for the period of Jan30 to Feb 11th --> Will this be a problem?

4) Feb 12 2009 to Mar 11th 2009 --> Original Bank Statement - reflects the Feb Payslip values

5) Mar 12 2009 to April 11th 2009 --> Original Bank Statement - reflects the Mar Payslip values

6) April 12 2009 to May 11th 2009 --> Original Bank Statement - reflects the april Payslip values

7) May 12 2009 to June 11th 2009 --> Original Bank Statement - reflects the May Payslip values

8) June 12 2009 to July 11th 2009 --> Original Bank Statement - reflects the June Payslip values

9) July 12 2009 to Aug 11th 2009 --> Original Bank Statement - reflects the July Payslip values

10) Aug 12 2009 to Sept 11th 2009 --> Original Bank Statement - reflects the Aug Payslip values

11) Sept 12 2009 to Oct 11th 2009 --> Original Bank Statement - reflects the Sept Payslip values

12) Oct 12 2009 to Nov 11th 2009 --> Original Bank Statement - reflects the Oct Payslip values

13) Nov 1st 2009 to Dec 31st 2009 --> Bank transactions received via post and also have attested copies of Bank statements - reflects the November and December Payslip values

14) Sept 12th 2009 to Jan 12th 2010 --> Attested Copies of the transactions collected from bank in person - reflects the Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec Payslip values.
I took this assuming i can make use as proof for Maintenance for Funds and Earnings for period of November and December.


My question is related to the what period would be ideal to put and what documents should I need to put as evidence for Earnings Support.

The attested bank statements show the bank manager sign and also stamp stating as below:
"This is a true copy of the original copy of the bank transactions, Natwest ##########"

I made myself into confused situation when I received bank statements via post and also from bank attested for same period.

Please help.

The Payslips and Bankstatments are used to show the 2different evidences for EARNINGS POINTS..

And the main aim of the bankstatements is for the caseworker to check your NET PAY in the payslips with those in the bankstatements NET Credited..

so do not worry too much if you have the bankstatements for all the months pay you are claiming..

BUT since you are missing for the period of Jan30 to Feb 11th 09..

If that period do not have any salary pay details.. it should not be a problem but to be on safe side mention in the cover letter that that period is missing and explain it... and it is ok because it is not falling in the Maintenance funds period..

ok now for maintenance funds period..

Use Original Bankstatements that you received by post of the latest 3months (falling in less than 1month period) so that you do not need to give any letters or attested copies..

keep it simple.. goodluck

Hi KamalEce,
From your post, i can see that you are using Natwest Account. I also will be using Natwest account for my Tier 1 account. I have a few queries regarding the bank statements. Appreciate if you can give your view on them

1. Printed statements you got from the bank branch, did it have just the stamp 'This is a true copy of the original copy of the bank transactions, Natwest ##########' or the stamp with sortcode.

2. How did you order original bank statements? Did u order them by phone or did u order them in the branch.

3. Did they charge you for the original statements to send by post?

4. How long did it take for the statements to arrive by post?

Thanks in advance

Hi Ramesh,
Thank you for the reply.
Sorry I missed to share this vital information. As you can see that Bank Statements that are missing are for the period of
12 Jan 2009 - 11 Feb 2009.
12 Nov 2009 - 11 Dec 2009.
Today I received via post the Bank statements from Jan 1st 2009 to Jan 29th showing the January Salary. For the month of February, the regular statement was starting from Feb 12th.
However, today I went to Bank in person to gather the Bank Statements and gathered the Bank Statements from Jan 1st 2009 to Feb 2009.
Simmilarily, I did the same with month period 12 November 2009 and 11 Dec 2009 to display the salary November 2009.
what should I do in this case? Do I need to put the Bank Statements received from bank which are attested or shall i put the bank statements that I received via post today?
Regards,
Kamal

There is a stamp "This certifies that this is a true copy of the original natwest postcode" signed by the Manager. I did ensure that I take the Manager Visiting Card as well. Gurus, can you please advise if this is acceptable by HO as valid proof?

2. How did you order original bank statements? Did u order them by phone or did u order them in the branch.
Ans : I ordered them over phone. Please do make sure if you order them do them well in advance. It takes atleast 5 to 8 days to receive these documents.
3. Did they charge you for the original statements to send by post?
Ans : NO
4. How long did it take for the statements to arrive by post?
Ans : 8 days. We need to be behind them to check if this sorted out for you or not.

Hi Ramesh,

Just to add for the Maintenace period information. The last Bank Statement original i received was 12 oct 2009 to 11 November 2009.
Today I collected the attested copies of the statements from Sept 2009 to to date.

So in this case do I need to do anything more to justify the points in this category? Please advise.

Regards,
Kamal

Earnings


For the month of Jan I don't have the regular/original monthly bank statements. My monthly cycle bank statements starts from 12 of every month to the 12th of next month. For example for the month of January it starts from 12 January to 12th Feb.

Below are the details I have to prove points in category Earnings and Maintenace of Funds:

Bank Dates Bank Statments Payslip
---------- -------------- -------

12 Nov 2008 - 12 Dec 2008 --> Original Original

12 Dec 2008 - 12 Jan 2009 --> Original Original

01 Jan 2009 - 29 Jan 2009 --> Received from Bank today via post Original Do i need to use this? If i use this Will there be any question by case worker related to the missing period of Jan 30th to Feb 11th 2009?
01 Jan 2009 - 27 Feb 2009 --> Attested Copies Do I need to use this?

12 Feb 2009 - 12 Mar 2009 --> Original Original

12 Mar 2009 - 12 Apr 2009 --> Original
Original

12 Apr 2009 - 12 May 2009 --> Original Original

12 May 2009 - 12 Jun 2009 --> Original Original

12 Jun 2009 - 12 Jul 2009 --> Original Original

12 Jul 2009 - 12 Aug 2009 --> Original Original

12 Aug 2009 - 12 Sep 2009 --> Original Original

12 Sep 2009 - 12 Oct 2009 --> Original Original

12 Oct 2009 - 12 Nov 2009 --> Original Original

01 Nov 2009 - 31 Dec 2009 --> Received from Bank today via post Original

12 Sept 2009 - to date --> Attested Copies of the transactions.
- I took this because I could prove my maintance of Funds.


Attested means :
There is a stamp like this : "This certifies that this is a true copy of the original Natwest ######" signed by the Manager. I did ensure that I take the Manager Visiting Card as well. # = Post Code of the Bank branch.
Is this a relevant/acceptable document to the Home Office?

seeing the above case I'm confused how best I can represent myself in this category to convince that I have got everything to achive the max points in Earnings category and also for Maintenence of funds.

Hope I was clear to explain this now. Please help me gurus. I'm in dire need of help. I wish I could speak to someone for better clarifications but I do completely understand this might violate the rules of any forum.


Below lines are irrelevant but like to share with all. May be my experience could be useful to others.

Why did this all happen?

I approached 2 branches of Natwest and they turned me down for Bank Statements attested. One Bank even raised the request to re-send the bank statements on Jan 2nd 2010. I called Natwest on Jan 5th 2010 to check the status of the documents. They said there was no such request. She logged in one more request and few days later the same issue. I got fired up and escalated. They took this long to send the Bank statements.


Why did I go to Bank?
I was panicked and went to bank today to get the documents attested as the request to send the bank statements was getting delayed.
While I was getting the online statements attested I received the docuemnts in post today.


Regards,
Kamal.

Use these bank statements and also put the original statement 01 Jan 2009 - 29 Jan 2009 separately and explain in the cover letter that you missed that months statements and you got the copies printed from the branch but, to be double sure you also ordered statements by post one of the salary credit is in that period. Hope this is acceptable. Let em know ur thoughts.

Hi Kamal,

The statements you got printed from the bank and got it signed and stamped, do they have your name on them or it is just account number?

Thanks

The statements you got printed from the bank and got it signed and stamped, do they have your name on them or it is just account number?

ANS: They have just my account number only. Heading View Bank Statement. Its a Black and White prints only. No Colours as you get via post regularly(monthly) and then the transactions.
What the Manager did was when she tried to take the prints using thier bank software initially, they weren't looking any good.
So what she did was, asked me to log in into my online account and she took the prints.
I can see only my account number. She took one more Printout from thier bank software where the details of my account number, sort code, my Address are clearly mentioned and also attested the same paper.
I also took the Manager the Visiting card and asked her if HO would contact her for any reason for checking. She said its okay to contact her.
Not sure Aruni why you asked this question, do you see any problem?

Thank you Ramesh. I have crossed checked the Net Amounts in payslip and Bank Statements. They are fine. Yes rest of the other documents are also captured.

Regards,
Kamal.

Even I have the same problem. I have taken some statements from Natwest and they do not have my name printed on it. So I was just wondering if this is OK. Ramesh, can you please shed some light on this?

Thank you Ramesh. I have crossed checked the Net Amounts in payslip and Bank Statements. They are fine. Yes rest of the other documents are also captured.

Regards,
Kamal.

You should be fine. You have got a letter from the manager and also his visiting card. But, I have just got the statements stamped and signed but, without name. But, it has all the other requirements like bank logo, account number, statement date etc. Also, the stamp doesnt say anything like 'True copy... etc'. It is just square stamp with date, sort code of the branch and place. So, still in dilemma whether to go ahead with these statements or order for the original statements. :?

Guys:

As per my understanding from the HO GUIDANCE

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... idance.pdf

For earnings proof Please read the Paragraph 138 (ii) Page 25:
ii) Personal bank statements showing the payments made to the applicant: Bank statements provided must be on official bank stationery, and must show each of the payments that the applicant is claiming. If the applicant wishes to submit electronic bank statements from an online account he/ she should also provide a supporting letter from the bank on company headed paper confirming that the documents are authentic. Alternatively an electronic bank statement bearing the official stamp of the bank issuing the statements will be accepted. This stamp must appear on every page of the statement. For the purposes of this guidance an online bank account is one that operates solely over the internet and sends their bank statements to their customers electronically (for example over the internet or via email).
For Maintenance funds please read the Paragraph 201 (i) Page 35 and 36:
201. Only the following specified documents will be accepted as evidence of this requirement:
Personal bank or building society i) statements covering three full consecutive months: The most recent statement must be dated no more than one calendar month before the date of application.
The personal bank or building society statements should clearly show:
the applicant’s name;•
the account number;•
the date of the statement;•
the financial institution’s name and logo;•
transactions covering the three month • period;
that there are enough funds present in • the account
(the balance must always be at least £2,800 or £800, as appropriate) covering the three month period before the date of application;


Ad hoc bank statements printed on the bank’s letterhead are admissible as evidence (this excludes mini-statements from cash points).
If the applicant wishes to submit electronic bank statements from an online account these must contain all of the details listed above. In addition, the applicant will need to provide a supporting letter from his/her bank, on company headed paper, confirming the authenticity of the statements provided. Alternatively an electronic bank statement bearing the official stamp of the bank in question will be accepted. This stamp should appear on every page of the statement.
So, the Name issue here if for only the Electronic bank statements from an ONLINE ACCOUNT should contain all the details listed above IN GREEN like name/account/logo etc.. but for Regular accounts with official stamp on every page of the statement is accepted..

hope this helps..

Hello Gurus,

Any other group experts would like share thier opinions on this case. Two people myself and Aruni are eagerly awaiting on this.

Aruni, if you have time I request you to contact Natwest and ask them to resend the bank statements to your home address.
If they resend the bank statements they are not the regular ones.

What is the difference from the regular bank statements and ones that we receive upon request?

The only difference I found is the format. In the Original ones you should be seeing a small sheets with holes on both ends of the paper. The details mentioned are your address on the Front sheet and your account details and followed by the transactions for a certain period.
In the statements that you receive upon request placed, you would see a A 4 thick sheets. Page 1 : showing your address Page 2: The bank Address and your Account details both in detail. Page 3: A line showing the start and end of the transactions you requested for. Below this line your transactions start till its ends.
All the pages display the Blue Colour banner with Natwest written on it but on both sides of the page. Only the Front facing sides have this Blue Colour banner with Natwest written.

In my case for the missing period, i requested for period of Jan and Feb but they sent only Jan. What i did was to ask them to send from 12th Jan 2009 to 12 Feb 2009.

I hope this is okay with the home office.

Gurus and Experts please help on this....
