RE Acceptable documents for Proof of funds - NEED HELP ASAP!

[stephiegrace]

Hey guys, I have a question about the bank statements required for the acestry visa.

My parents are giving me 1500 dollars towards my move, and I was told that any large deposit would cause a flag? Also, my account hasn't been that full for the past two months as I just returned home from holidays (the UK ate my savings account!), but it DOES show the despoit of my paychecks, as well! I can provide all kinds of pay-stub copies from work, and I heard that you can use a statement from your bank on the date you apply with your balance as opposed to the three months of statements. Anyone know if this is true?

HELP!

While I cannot say for certain, I did something a bit worse when I applied for my WHM in 2008.
I was due to receive some money the month before I came over which would be more than enough to fund my trip. However, I didn't have enough money in my account at the time I had to apply. I borrowed a couple grand from friends and then put it in my bank. I got the statements printed off and then withdrew the money.
I was still approved.

I actually think it's pretty difficult to get denied unless you're obviously dodgy.

The thing is, my bank statements don't show any savings over the past 3 months - just the deposits of my checks, and then my withdrawls while i lived off of them! What were the statements like that you sent in? Did they show your deposit of a couple grand?

Thanks SO much for your reply!
