If I am applying family visa via Cat D (savings). It stated they will need 6 months bank statement.
The question is, do I have to build up 6 months of real bank statement before I can apply or I can goto my bank and pay them to print previous 6 months on original letterhead paper?
On HSBC at least, you can print out your own statements. I've used them for various things - loans, mortgages etc and self printed statements have been fine.
Never used for the British visa app though. When I looked at it, I think you could get print outs stamped at the bank for extra credibility.
An interesting case where it was settled by being the wife of an EU citizen exercising his treaty rights.

While this case is pretty nasty, i can't help but wonder why this couple was entitled to child benefit. Right to live fine, right to benefits when not even an EU national... Kind of explains why some people voted for Brexit.
