Official stamps are acceptable, as long as it contains all the necessary information on the statement, e.g. name, account number, balance etc.mandhan wrote:Hi,
My latest month's bank statement still be in post when I go for the ILR next month. I went to my bank today to confirm whether they will print, stamp AND SIGN the up to date statement for the past 30 days. However I was told that they can only give me the print out on an A4 size paper with offcial stamp on each page. They can NOT put any signature on it.
So my question is whether such a statement with only stamp and no signature be acceptable for the ILR in-person application?
I have got all 5 years P60 and last 12 months pay slips starting from the latest month. I am currently on Tier 1 visa.
I tried to search the forum but only got mixed responses. Please reply and share the experience.
Regards.
dont take risk by taking the statement which is more than 30 days old, better approach 3-5 branches to get signed by the banker with seal on it, i guarantee you will win if you try some branches moreover you still have time for your appointment. if one branch doesnt sign but seal, go to another and try, it happened to me as well, i had to create a scene that my visa will be rejected this and that, then they finally did, afterall if couldnt make up with all thes attempts then go for seal without sign.mandhan wrote:Thank you all for the replies.
Actually I get the statement up to 12th of each month and I get it in post 4-5 days later. So the last statement that I have got is for the period of 13th Nov to 12th Dec. Hence, I will not have received the statement for the period of 13th Dec to 12th January in time for the appointment on 14th Jan. Also on appointment day, it would have been more than 30 days since my last statement. If say, my appointment was on 10th Jan, I could have considered the current statement that I have as the latest statement as it would have been issued less than 30 days from the appointment.
So basically I have to go to the bank on 12th/13th Jan and get the statement for the last 30 days printed and stamped (but not signed).
I hope this should be enough.
good luck with your complaints. i am pretty sure it will go nowhere. i dont think you have been treated like a thug. why does home office still have your statement and you have another appointment in 2 days? if you can prove that they have the statements then you should just show that proof at your next appointment along with copies of bank statement.AzimScot wrote:I had an intresting experience with my bank today. Basically, to cut a long story short the home office has my bank statements and not going to give them back and I have an appoitment in 2 days time and I need the last 6 months bank statement the bank said they couldn't do it because of the number of transactions dating back to June!!!
I am making a serious complaint to the home office and banks to the financial ombudsman and watchdog about how I and my wife has been treated like thugs.
