I am not sure if I am writing on the right forum but correct me if I am wrong. I am on HSMP in UK at the moment and have to send the sponsoring documents to some relative back home. As I understand, sending the bank statements is a part of the sponsoring documents. But, I don't feel comfortable with sharing my bank statements with anybody except my wife. Is there a way round this problem or sending the bank statments is my only option.
Best Regards,
Sam
I don't think there's any way round sending the bank statements. I just send the summary cover page of my statement - not the actual day to day breakdown of expenses. I learnt this from my dad. He always sent the summary page to the embassy for us to travel, proof he could afford our fees etc. So naturally, we were not able to know how much he earns or exactly how much he had (he could have more than one account for all we knew etc.) so we were always left guessing. His privacy was secure, but it satisfied the embassies. Never had a problem with it.
Maybe just add some utility bills as proof of address (if you are accomodating them) and a nice letter. Some people say send in your tenancy agreement, but mine is about 15 pages long! Hope this helps
