relationship evidence and bank statement
 

hi
Just a quick question for anyone who has gone through the visa application process recently, I am going it alone without a migration agent.
I am including a recent bank statement as part of my evidence to prove a genuine relationship along with marraige certificate etc. Do I need to block out any info on it such as balance or account number/sort code for security reasons or is it quite a secure process.
Thanks :)

No, you'll be fine. Blank out the account number if you wish, but the info isn't going to go any further than DIMA. :)

Hi there - ours is in process of being approved now (I hope!) and it didn't even occur to me to black out any info. It's not like I gave them credit card details any way, only bank statements with account and sortcode etc on.
They thanked us for giving such a comprehensive application!
If in doubt I would contact DIMIA, but I've not heard of anyone deleting info. I suppose it if even possible that it would look suspicious.... best to check with them I guess and get it from the horse's mouth.

how many bank statements did you include?
the only thing we have thats joint - except the kids - is 11 years of bank statemtns!! bills were all in my name (dunno why) - did you include a couple from each year or just one from way back and a recent one?

:D

hi
i'm just including a recent one thats just come throught the post as thats all i have, I regularly shredded my others! But we do have joint council tax and mortgage statements so hopefully this will be enough.

Hi

Ive included one from about 4 years ago, really just to prove weve been together for as long as we have.
