Quick Help For Joint Sponsership Letter For Sv

[Bangkokjay]

Hi i have posted a few posts re my application and was submitted last week. I need a bit of help regarding a joint sponsorship letter.

As i have been in thailand for a long time now i don’t have much savings and was waiting for some money to go into my account so never submitted bank statements at the time just explained my situation and said they would be available and taken to the interview.

My mum now is also going to be a joint sponsor for me she has 7k in a savings account. What will she need to send to me?

6 months normal bank statements

Savings account statement (not sure if post office hence she may only have a book not sure will call her today and find out.)

3 Months wage slips.

Sponsorship letter

What should she put in the letter ie: she is my mum and has no problems acting as a joint sponsor for us?

If you can help with the certain things she needs to say.

Also as it wasn’t mentioned on the application she would be a joint sponsor should i just put a covering letter explaining that she has offered to be a joint sponsor and i just want to have as much evidence to show we will be ok financially?

And will my bank statements be ok as printed online but i think only 1 month is available online or do i need originals but i have little savings anyway at the moment and my mum would be more the sponsor for now. I also have a letter confirming i have a job to start on my return to England

Embassy just phoned while i was writing this and have said everything is ok with the application when the statements arrive take them to the reception with her passport between 1-2 pm and she thinks we won't need an interview as everything looks fine Big relief!!!!!!!!! so i expect as long as the sponsorship looks fine she will be issued that day so i want to make sure i prepare it the best i can.

Thanks in advance

Jay,

From what you've posted, it looks as though the embassy don't require any further evidence from your mother. However, if you still wish her to provide the letter etc, she should write that she is happy to financially support you and your wife, should the need arise. She should also provide 3-4 months' worth of pay slips and evidence of her savings. I wouldn't ask her to send her Post Office book, but make a copy and have it attested as being a true copy of the original.

Bank statements are a tricky issue. The embassy have been known to accept internet statements but only where they are otherwise likely to grant the application (as would appear to be so in your case). However, where the application is refused, they have included the lack of proper bank statements as a reason for refusal. The choice is therefore yours, but if you can get the original statements from the UK, then that's what I'd do. If you only get online statements, then you'll have to provide those and explain to the embassy that that's all you can get.

Cheers,

Scouse.

Hi thanks Scouse,

I will get the originals sent over even though there isn't much in my account its more my mums account.

Will she also need to send her current account statements as well as the savings account ones. If it is a bank book i pursume you mean for her to go to a solicitors and get a letter from them confirming they are the same as the original bank book?

Thanks again for all your help through the application hopefuly this will be the last post and my next one will be visa success!!!

Many thanks

Jay,

Yes, have the copy of your mother's bank book signed as being a true copy. Solicitors will charge for this, but you might be able to get it done free at somewhere like the Citizens Advice Bureau. Also chuck in her current account bank statements for good measure.

With regard to your bank statements, if you don't show them, the visa officer might conclude you have something to hide, so, even if you've only got a few quid in the bank, still submit the statements. Your lack of cash in the bank should be outweighed by the fact that you have a job to go back to and can use your wages as a means of supporting both you and your wife.

Cheers,

Scouse.
