Hello,
Hoping someone could help me out with this. We are all prepared to submit our documents for the visa however I'm unsure of one thing. The guidelines say that statements from my bank can't be more than 28days out of date. They have said it will take 2 weeks to send me the statements which means by the time I get them already half that time is gone.
Given my wife is in the US what is the most efficient way to get this done? My current plan is:
Make the visa application, wait until her biometrics appointment is confirmed. As soon as she has the date for the biometrics I will request the statement from my bank.
Can she then send me the documents and I can post the whole package to Sheffield for processing? Or does it have to be sent by her from the US (i.e. I have to send her the statements first?).
Is there a time limit on when they receive your documents vs. when the application is made? If she submits on say the 1st of October, and then her biometrics are on the 6th and she immediately sends me her documents needed for the application, and I don't get the statements until the 14th meaning the UKBA doesn't see the whole packet of supporting documents until the 16th and the package comes from my address in the UK is that okay?
I presume this is really the only effective way to do it? Otherwise I'm posting things to the US just to post them back to the UK?
If anyone can shed any light on the logistics of this that'd be great!
Thanks!
