So your bank statement is only 2 weeks old? How many months of statements are you showing?
Hi @Naturgrl - Greetings!! Can we use the online bank statements to prove the prime funds(Applicant's funds to cover the expenses of stay) in Visitor visa application OR Shall we attach the sign and stamped copy of bank statements in the application. Kindly suggest what works best ? TIA
@Naturgrl / @canuck78 - 1)Can you plz confirm if online bank statements of primary accounts(with which will be covering the expense of visit) are acceptable for the visitor visa application?
2) Do I need to showcase the bank balance certificate too along with bank statements ??
3) also, can we use the ITRs of any 2 years for the employer stability OR does it need to be of continuous last 2 years ITR?
Kindly suggest.Thanks!
1. Your sister’s bank statement over the past 6 months is fine. It should show that she can afford the length of stay without using all her savings.
2. No.
3. She provides job letter with approved leave and the letter can say how long she has been with the employer. This shows ties to return. ITR over the last 2 years is fine.
Thankyou very much @Naturgrl ..You're my guiding light in this process.
1. So, I don't need to get the stamped copy of bank statements and online statements are completely acceptable & doesn't reduce any chance for the approval..right ??
2. For ITR, she has the ITR of last assessment year(2023) and this year's is yet to be applied. So can she show one of the ITRs of previous years 2019-2020?? Would that be okay or does this need to be backup with the explanation why she doesn't have the ITR of continuous plan years.
3. Do I need to mention in the invitatioj letter that she will be staying with me at my rented place. And need to attach my rent agreement too ?? Please confirm.

1. no need to get anything notarized
2. 2019-2020 is much too old. She needs evidence to prove her current financial situation.
3. You can mention she will be staying with you but she should be able to prove she could afford her own accommodations if necessary. No need to show your rental agreement.
Thankyou @canuck78, 1) Would ITR of AY 20-21 also be considered too old ?she has ITRs of AY 23-24 and AY 20-21, and yet to file AY24-25( so wanted to see if any of these old can help for last 2 year ITR docs) or should we wait for 24-25 filing.
2) Also, if you can please confirm- Is there any alternative for CA report? , as she doesn't own any property- can she just share her assets & liabilities in cover letter??
3) Where should we add itinerary plan, should it be mentioned in both invitation and purpose letter??
Sorry to keep bugging you guys, trying to figure all these things. And response from both of you has been
Hi Good Morning - @Naturgrl , @canuck78
Regarding Visitor visa --
As I mentioned my mother is working in Military forces.And NOC from her department doesn't haveany specific dates on it.THey just kept the duration like June to July month[2months],andno statement like she has to report by august.
As suggested only trying to file the visit for 3 weeks, so how should we justify it in the invitation or purpose letter. Can we still show this as short visit OR would that create confusion about our intent to visa Officer considering the open dates on the NOC document?
Your suggestions would be of immense help!! Thankyou.

There should be consistency between all your documentation. Expect longer processing if your mother is in the armed forces.
1. submit the most recent available.
2 proof of rental agreement would also be an option
3. Up to you.
THANKYOU @canuck78 Appreciate all your help !!
My pgwp is expiring in October and not sure by when can i expect the extension, so just concerned-- Is there any requirement regarding the validity of sponsor/inviter's current visa status?? How long my pgwp should be valid or would it raise any concerns in their application's approval considering my case ?? Any thoughts
