Topic: Anyone with HSMP Approval Letter applying for Tier1 after 1st April
All,
Following is the reply from BHC regarding maintenance of RD:
Quote:
Please be informed the recurring deposits are not acceptable. The funds have to be liquidated and deposited your savings account and held for 3 months before you lodge your visa application.
As a general rule each single applicant (HSMP) as of 1st April 2008 will be required to produce evidence that they have £2,800 and £1600 for each dependant at their disposal. This money should be immediately available in sterling in the UK or there should be formal authority to transfer it to the UK. The funds should be in the applicant's name or in a joint account with a married, unmarried or civil partner. If it is in a savings account, the funds must have been held for at least 3 months. Should the money be in a current account the account must have been active for at least 6 months and show regular salary or other income in line with the applicant's stated occupation. If the money is held in trust it must be at the applicant's disposal and not administered by others.
Applicants must provide documentary evidence detailing the source of any funds that have entered their account(s) within the last 3 months, for example fixed deposits, receipts and/or legal documents relating to the sale of assets.
If you do not satisfy the above requirement, your application is likely to be unsuccessful.

Since RD is not acceptable same should apply to FD also.
Good Luck.... |

Hi,
All those who applied with old rules filing up VAF2 and did not maintain 2800 over 3 months, pls be careful. There have been many cases of rejection coz of the 2800 clause. You can mail them at Chennai.VisaEnquiry@fco.gov.uk to apprise them of your concern, get a confirmation and ask them if application can be withdrawn. Its there discretion....they may allow, they may not allow.
Good Luck... |
