1st Contact is pleased to announce that the requirement to produce the maintenance requirement evidence has been reviewed, and that the highly difficult process of producing evidence no older than 7 days at the time of application has been amended and increased to one month.

This news and change is a result of continuous pressure from 1st Contact on the policy makers within the UK Border Agency and UK Visas to review this requirement. 1st Contact had requested the decision makers to consider the difficulty in obtaining the required evidence from their financial institution to meet the 7-day criteria.

Please do not hesitate to contact us for further assistance.

Should your application have been refused on this basis, UK Visa Services will be reviewing such applications and will inform affected applicants in due course.
