Bank letter dated next day

[aster10]

Dear all

I would be extremely grateful for help. I applied for Tier 1 visa in the end of May (in New York). I now realize that my bank letter may be deficient. It is dated 5 May 2010, states that I have maintained funds at all times in the amount of 3600 pounds for the period of 29 December 2009 to 04 May 2010 and that the current balance as at 4 May 2010 is 3600 pounds. The Tier 1 Guidance (214(iii)) states that the letter should confirm the balance ON the date of the letter and during the immediately preceding period. My letter does not state the balance as of 5 May, the date of the letter.

I am wondering if you think this is dangerous enough and that I should not not waste time and withdraw my application now and start anew. (Yes, paying the fee again...)

Thank you all in advance! these maintenance letters are a pain...

Dear all

I would be extremely grateful for help. I applied for Tier 1 in the end of May (in New York). I now realize that my bank letter may be deficient. It stated that I have maintained funds at all times in the amount of 3600 pounds for the period of xx.xx.xx to yy.yy.yy - 1 day before the date of the bank letter.

I am wondering if you think this is dangerous enough for me to not waste time and withdraw my application now and start anew. (Yes, paying the fee again...) The problem with starting anew is that I have moved funds from that account and that I will have 3600 on one account between 20 May 2009 and 6 June 2010 and above 2800 on another account between 25 May 2010 and now. Do you think it is an issue?

Thank you all in advance! these maintenance letters are a pain...

Sorry.. I didnt understand this..

Apologies. The bank letter is dated 5 May 2010 and states that I have maintained 3600 pounds between 29 December 2009 and 4 May 2010 at all times and that the current balance at 4 May 2010 is 3600. It does not say anything about the balance on the date of the letter "5 May 2010". Guidance (214(iii)) states that the letter should state that the balance was maintained for 90 consecutive days ON AND immediately before the date of the letter.

Man.... Come on
are you worrying for one day ??? This should never be a problem.

What if a Bank Policy states that for any request that you place, you should give them notice of 5 - 7 business working days ???? Even Banks have their own policy. Iam sure ECO knows that.

And specifically for your query...

if you apply today, say 24th June 2010 - logically speaking, Any sensible Banking guy will not give you the balance confirmation or Amount (Fund) maintenance for the same day on which you place a request for balance confirmation or Fund Maintenance.

Reason being, they always consider the closing hour of each day transaction at midnight 12. So they can only give you the letter the next day, i.e. 25th June considering the Fund maintenance from 25th March (12:00.01 AM) to 24th June (11:59.59 PM).

Even 10 days should be fine, as long as that 10 days falls within the one month stipulated time and you provide the statement for those 90 days fund maintenance period. I personally believe you are very very very very good.

I may be wrong. Laterals can correct this if they found this be misleading.

I dont think there will be a problem. And if there is any chance of problem I would still advise you not to withdraw the application as you have paid the visa fee. If you get the visa thats good, if not re-apply. As this refusal (due to wrong format of bank letter) is not going to affect your visa history. When you re-apply you will get visa next time.

So dont withdraw please.

Thank you, it is just that I hear about people being refused on some very technical pretexts - if their bank statement states "value of cash ISA" instead of "balance on cash ISA account"...

Dont worry too much man, Let us do our best and perfect things. These stuffs are beyond our control and let us not worry for this.
What has to happen will happen

I had to visit my bank for multiple times -

First letter - was addressed to me instead of BDHC
Second letter - spelling - typo error - Instead of "our bank", they mentioned "out bank".
Third letter - was OK (and not good)

You know - It happens !!!
