Entry clearance rejected for my friends spouse

[myTier1]

Hi

my friend is in Tier 2 visa here working for a very big reputed firm in UK

he applied for the visa to his wife.

UKBA rejected saying the financial statements are not within 28days

but the rule says the statement has to be within 31 days. he applied on 29th day.

now he has sent an email to UKBA and waiting for the reply

any advice please?

thanks

Here is the relevant paragraph in appendix E. We can't see the statements or know the date she applied to verify the facts, so that's probably about all you can hope for in the way of advice.

(m) The end date of the 90-day and 28-day periods referred to in (g) above will be taken as the date of the closing balance on the most recent of the specified documents (where specified documents from two or more accounts are submitted, this will be the end date for the account that most favours the applicant), as set out in paragraph 1B of Appendix C, and must be no earlier than 31 days before the date of application.

Thanks for the reply.

Exactly this is the point. the rule says 31 days, but the letter he received says 28 days. i am sure this is the mistake on UKBA side unless they have solid proof why they claim it is more than 28 days
