I've been reading these forums for quite sometime now and have found them quite helpful as people share real life experiences to help others which i think is a good philanthropic effort in its own right.
I am applying for PSW visa from Pakistan. Anyway here are my predicaments (numbered so that you helpful people can reply using the same numbers) :
1. My bank statement has been printed from 12 April 2011 to 16 July 2011. The first transaction between this period occurs on 19 April 2011 and the last one on 14 July 2011. Between this period there are several pages of transactions. The statement only shows the balances on the day of the transactions and no opening and closing balances. Would this suffice as technically i placed the funds on 11 April 2011 and to 16 July 2011 its been more than 3 months/ 90 days. I could print the statement from 10 April to show the 11 April transaction of placement of funds but wouldn't the embassy question the source of funds then (9000 pounds approx)?
2. Secondly the bank statements show the period of transactions i.e 12 April 2011 to 16 July 2011 but not the date of printing of the statements. Would this be a problem ? The bank manager says he can stamp a date on each page but wouldn't that appear to be tampered statements?
3. I also have a bank letter which shows that I have a Term/Fixed deposit for the last 5 months encashable at any time. The bank letter states that I have maintained adequate funds for the last 3 months as well. The amount shown in the letter is above 95,000 pounds. Would the embassy want to see the source of funds as well in this case? I only have a photocopy of the property sale deed to prove this.
4. I'm also planning to apply for my wife (as dependent) with my application. Besides wedding photos and marriage certificate is there anything else i should submit to convince them of a subsisting relationship?
5. Another thing which has had me confused for a while now. My course dates were 10/2009 to 09/2010 with date of award being 12/2010.
I travelled to UK in 09/2009 and finished up everything and came back in 08/2010. The UKBA award points for
69. An applicant can claim 20 points if he/ she can establish that the whole of his/her period of study in the United Kingdom for the eligible qualification was completed whilst he/she had leave to enter /remain that was not subject to a restriction preventing him/her from undertaking a course of study and/or research.
Would they notice the exit stamp on my passport on 08/2009 and object to me coming back one month sooner than the course finish date stated on the award letter i.e 09/2010
Although they do further state
Should i mention this in the application form or not? Thanks people. Please respond soon as im getting anxious over my psw application which i need to make in a few days. This really will be a make or break deal for me71. An applicant does not have to have remained in the United Kingdom throughout the entire period of their study. It is reasonable to expect, for example, that a student may have undertaken periods of overseas study and/or research whilst obtaining the eligible qualification.
A quick response is much appreciated. Thank you for your time
so i had to drive back home, pick them up and then finally give the biometrics... luckily i live 15 minutes away from the application centre.... anyways thats that.... so now keeping fingers crossed....
