I have applied for a UK Visa. In my application I notified that an X amount in my Bank Statement is for a provisional booking for a Car in my home country.(Booking confirmation receipt was also attached with the Bank Statement) The application has been submitted and I am waiting for a response.

I have been notified by the dealer that I can submit the full amount and get the car for an additional amount Y.

Question:

  1. Is it OK for me to make this transaction without jeopardizing my chances of getting a Visa?
  2. Can the British embassy check records for individuals after submission of an application? Or do they just review the statements submitted (If they do then they would not know why I pulled the funds)

Note: I have applied for a Business Visit funded by my company. Y is a good percentage.

YES

YES, they can and sometimes do

The ECO does not expect that your account should be static while waiting for a visa approval. Life is dynamic and that is how it should be. You are not going to be denied a visa because after application you had to move some money.

Read Should I submit bank statements when applying for a UK Visa? What do they say about me? and if you have no red flags mentioned, you are fine.
