The answer is the same as before. Speak to your immigration office. Until you know that you won't know for sure. Some require the bank letter on the day, some allow up to 7 days old. Bank book must be updated on the day. You might need your wedding certificate verified, maybe not. They shouldn't ask for 2 lots of 800k but you never know, if they do your wife won't meet the seasoning requirements. Where is the pension statement from? If it's from Italy it's meaningless as is the health insurance. What's with the reference to overstay penalties?

Reality is nobody can answer all your questions other than your local immigration office.

yeah. For nothing in black or white here. I was just trying to understand if someone went to the same process and the roadblocks.

I will definitely know by Friday.

Pension statement and health insurance I will bring with me just in case.
