Just wondering if you can throw some light on what are the possible next steps
Tier 1 dependant visa refused due to maintenance funds and electronic bank statements
Refusal notice says as below
1) Sponsors bank statement from lloyds tsb bank, bearing account no. XXXX 6160. The front page states that the statement is for the period 11/09/2013- 22/04/2013. This cannot be accepted as the most recent statement is more than 31 days old. Furthermore, the itemised statement attached is for the period 22/02/103-22/04/2013 which is for 60 day period and not 90 day period.Sponsors bank statement from lloyds tsb is for period 11/09/2012 -22/04/2013 and this cannot be accepted as the most recent statement more than 31 days old.
2) Sposnsor's bank statement from Bank of Scotland bearing account xxx 5673. I note that the statement doesnot bear the bank's logo and you have not enclosed a letter from the bank authenticating the account. Further more the balance on 25/03/13 was £268.15
Bit background.
I submitted bank statements from lloyds and bank of scotland claiming for maintenance funds from Feb-05-2013 to May-17-2013
I had less than £600 pounds in my bank of scotland account from 11-Mar to 25-Mar, so I submitted my Lloyds TSB account as well.
If I add end of day balance on my lloyds account and bank of scotland from 11-Mar to 25-mar then Sum of the balances in both the accounts exceeds the required 600 pounds!
Regarding bank logos or supporting letter.
My bank refused to provide electronic statements on bank letter head with bank logos so they have printed statement, stamped and signed on every single page. Below guideline from UKBA says it's acceptable though or am I reading it wrong, can anyone shed some light on this please ?
Note: I have got letter from my bank on their letterhead to confirm that cannot print electronic bank statements on banks letterhead at branch.
Appendix C on UKBA website for Tier 1 dependent migrant says it's ok to submit stamped statements (as below) not sure why this was raised as a concern by UKBA, any thoughts ?
(iii) The statements must clearly show:
(1) the name of:
_i. the applicant,
_ii the applicant’s parent(s) or legal guardian’s name, if the applicant is applying as Tier 4 Migrant,

_iv. the name of the applicant’s other parent who is legally present in the UK, if the applicant is applying as a Child of a Relevant Points-Based System Migrant,
