They are reading whether the balance was held, whose it is, and whether it can be traced. A lump sum that appears eleven days before you apply reads as a loan even when it is a gift from a parent, and it will be treated as one unless you say so and document it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What counts, in practice: the balance held continuously for the number of days the route specifies, in an account in your own name or a name the rules permit, evidenced by statements the bank itself issued rather than a screenshot of an app. Where the money came from someone else, a signed declaration from them plus evidence of their own source of funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What does not count, however true it is: an investment you would have to liquidate, a credit facility, a balance in a currency the destination does not accept without conversion evidence, or a statement that stops three weeks before you filed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your funds have only recently arrived, the honest answer is usually to wait. Filing early with money that has not seasoned is the most expensive kind of impatience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Almost every refusal we are asked to fix as a second attempt turns on money \u2014 not the amount of it, but the way it was shown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[11,12,10],"class_list":["post-46","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-documents","tag-bank-statements","tag-evidence","tag-proof-of-funds"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scintillawpthemes.com\/demo\/swp-visa-services-pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scintillawpthemes.com\/demo\/swp-visa-services-pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scintillawpthemes.com\/demo\/swp-visa-services-pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scintillawpthemes.com\/demo\/swp-visa-services-pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scintillawpthemes.com\/demo\/swp-visa-services-pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/scintillawpthemes.com\/demo\/swp-visa-services-pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scintillawpthemes.com\/demo\/swp-visa-services-pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scintillawpthemes.com\/demo\/swp-visa-services-pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scintillawpthemes.com\/demo\/swp-visa-services-pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scintillawpthemes.com\/demo\/swp-visa-services-pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
