Spouse visa-savings statement
Me and my wife applied for a spouse visa on 29th February and biometrics were done on 4th February. We still have not received a decision. (85th working day) We relied on savings which were more than £62,500. The cash is held in a current account and a savings account in my name only. We provided 6 months statements for the current account from 1st August till 31st January. The current account is also where my salary deposited. This is all fine. However, i have just realised that there may be a problem with the savings account statement provided. The statement is dated from 1st August till 17th January. This is two weeks short of end of the month. Will this be a issue? If anyone can help, it would me most grateful. Thanks |
Re: Spouse visa-savings statement
Two problems: your bank statements don’t cover the required six month period and your last statement was more than 28 days old when you applied.

Re: Spouse visa-savings statement
Thanks for the reply. Sorry i was mean’t to type 29th January. That was the online application date and biometrics on 4th February. |
Re: Spouse visa-savings statement
Then you still have the first issue - providing evidence that you have held the funds for five and a half months rather than six.

Re: Spouse visa refused-employee of ltd company
Hi, My wife's spouse visa was refused as i did not provide documents under paragraph 9b. My parents are directors of a Ltd company i work for. Also the ECO said my employment was not genuine as there was differences in the answers regarding my employment, in the interview. I believe this was not the case and i can provide them the documents they ask for. Can i submit new documents as part of my appeal? I had these documents on the date of application. Also, do the home office review the application before going to court? If so, how long does it take and will they notify me of the review decision? Hope someone can help. Thanks. |
Re: Spouse visa-savings statement
I hear an appeal only succeeds if you have included everything at the time of submitting the application. If the omission came from you an appeal is less likely to be successful. In such cases a fresh application is advised

Re: Spouse visa refused-employee of ltd company
Presuming you applied as a standard employee and not as employee of Limited specified company , then you have been rightly refused.
The ECO could have requested additional documents, if they would have made a substantial difference to your application; the fact you were not asked for them, together with the doubt as to it being genuine employment (parents employing their offspring is always a red flag) leads one to believe that an appeal would not be successful. An appeal would take the best part of a year. https://www.gov.uk/immigration-asylum-tribunal |
Re: Spouse visa-savings statement
The documents under paragraph 9b were in possession of my employer at the time of applying. They were not created after. I did not know that they were part of the requirements. Is this ok? Also to prove my employment is genuine, i will wrote a detailed explantation of my job role. The difference in the interview answers regarding my job role made them think my job is non-genuine. |
Re: Spouse visa-savings statement
Your best course of action would be to reapply and address the issues raised in the refusal notice.

I also have savings of above £62,500 for at least six months. My salary is paid into the account which i’ll show. If i just apply through savings will the ECO loom at my previous application and bring my employment back on question? I showed these savings in this application as well which was refused. |

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/british...fe8ccd969.jpeg Refusal letter. It says they cannot be satisfied by savings. Will they look at employment from this application? |

Re: Spouse visa-savings statement
If you have savings of £62,500 then why mention your employment at all? What category did you apply under?

Re: Spouse visa-savings statement
The solicitor who applied for us did not advise us properly. We applied under Cat A and D. After the refusal i have realised that savings and income cannot be combined if im working for a specified limited company. Also i should have applied under Cat F and G. I should have just applied under Cat D. |
