Just want to clear some points as I have seen many threads on them.

1. I was paid by cheque every month in my employment . I used to incur expenses on behalf of my company . Two times I was paid with expenses. So there was a discrepancy on my pay slip and bank statement. I explained it on my cover letter and took letter from my employer explaining everything .

2. Last bank statement (print out on plain paper) was stamped by the bank but not signed.

Happy that everything went OK and now I can concentrate on work.

Should we consider this as the policy or that you got lucky that the CW assigned to your application thought that it was okay? I vote for the latter - so not to be taken for granted.

IMHO ...

I think there is no such policy in writing . However, if you explain on your cover letter and also take letter from employer , it would be easier for CW to come to the conclusion.

Same for the bank statement , if is stamped by bank then it would be treated as an authentic. .

'if its stamped by the bank it will be treated as authentic' in your case it was, but with respect, you only have experience of your case. I have seen numerous cases where statements have been stamped but have not been accepted because they don't have the banks logo.

my initial successful application had bank print outs stamped and signed, without bank logo.

As per Policy Guidance Tier 1 (04/2012)Page 18:-


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
either:
• a supporting letter from his/her bank,
on company headed paper, confirming the
authenticity of the statements; or
• an electronic bank statement bearing
the official stamp of the bank in question will
be accepted.

I couldn't find anywhere, when UKBA is asking signature?

[Greenie]

A signature is not required. The banks logo is.

But if a Person printing online Statement, basically it comes with bank Logo at Right hand Corner

not with every bank it doesn't. Hsbc is one example.
