money held in my father's account in pakistan.
held money(200k) jst for 2 days. get leter n statement from bank.after that my father took out all money.



My solicitor told me that u dont need to put money back in account untill ukba request fresh statement.if ukba requires fresh statement,they will allow some days for provide statement/letter.Coz they know account is in abroad.

Thats the simple way.
Guys dont get panic.
I think you should read policy guidance yourself or the summary of changes effective from 31st of January 2013 and than shoot your solicitor.

He applied second week in July (He doesnt remember the dates)

Biometric on 6th August

He received a query from home office in January third week again he was out couldnt confirm the dates, they gave him 14 days - Query as follows;

He had shown third party investment from Pakistan in his uncles account, so bank letter mentioned his uncles name and only matter was money available in this account is ----- Home office asked him to prove this money is available for him to utilize in his business in UK, he requested another letter from bank sent them the same week and he got visa on 2nd February (He did not maintain the funds... his uncle put money in account on the day and got letter on same day and sent him here)

He did masters in IT in UK and was on PSW and shown IT business software engineer.

Hope this helps

I applied mid July, funds (pakistan) third party which is my father.

I received the similar query in the last week of January asking for the bank letter that has my name written on it. But bank was not willing to mention any other name except the account holder's name.

HO gave me 9 days to reply to the query.

My father has kept the funds throughout and are still in his account.

"I have replied to HO that bank's policy doesnt allow them to write anybody else name except the account holder. my father already has issued the thrid party statment stating that money is available for my business. you can contact the bank to verify the funds."

waiting for response now. Not sure what is going to happen! But hoping to hear some good news!

yes HUMV you are very right I have also applied in the same manner but funds are abroad third party. in most of the South Asia Banks don't write like that they just mention account name funds bank name & regulated body's name. I hope you get positive reply. please let us know the findings of your decision.

Yes, I have seen in most cases banks are not willing to follow UKBA template and that make sense. They just confirm the name of account holder and funds in account holder's name. and statement from third party confirms that those funds are available for the applicant.

But that shouldnt be a big issue. Hopefully!

Hi All,
I hope HO will correct itself by changing the document template soon as they are correcting/clarifying the confusions one by one (time of company registration / about funds). But, in the mean time it is suggested to make sure whether the bank will accept to follow the UKBA template before depositing the funds.

Good luck guys,
RAM
