Hi, I was under the impression that as part of the evidence of adequate accommodation for my Wife (spouse settlement visa) I could supply the tenancy agreement signed by landlord and letting agent, and a letter from the letting agent on behalf of the landlord stating the property details, confirming...

Hello,

I'd be really grateful if someone who has recently been through the spouse visa application process could shed some light on my original post please.

Thank you

Ok, great, thanks

Hi Casa, yes it is for a Spouse Settlement Visa. I am obviously confused as to what I'm supposed to submit - I thought I needed to demonstrate my monthly costs so that the ECO can see I have enough left over to cover my Wife's and my extra expenses. Will it do any harm to supply these bills, should ...

Hello :) I understand all the rules regarding documents relating to bank statements, latest payslip, employment letter etc. being within 28 days of the date of application. This is no problem. However, my gas and electric bills are not within this time frame. My utility company has supplied me with ...

Thanks SSWSZ. Yes I agree that it doesn't really seem necessary for the notarisation to be within the 28 days (it's dated 9th June, passport valid until Aug 2016). However, UKVI have a number of requirements that I wouldn't have anticipated so I need to check! :? It would be great if one of the Seni...

Alright thanks HarryC.

Good luck with your wedding and application

Hello :) I've had a couple of hitches with getting a document for my wife's spouse visa application. As such, we are going to have to delay our online application for about two weeks. I have already had a full copy of my passport notarised. Does this have to be dated within 28 days of the applicatio...

Ah I see, thanks for the clarification.

So are you in the process of gathering the paperwork to submit your visa application, or have you already submitted your application using the above method for payslips and bank statements, and had the visa approved?

HarryC - thanks for your response but I am a little confused. What I was saying is that I have been earning significantly more than the £18,600 per year with my employer (for past 18 months). The VAF4A Appendix 2 specifically asks whether I've been earning the same amount with the same employer for ...

Thanks for the information SoHopeful - much appreciated.

I was earning over the £18,600 threshold in Dec but I had a slight payrise in Jan - does this mean I should wait for the July bank statements showing my June wages entering my bank account?

Hi Everyone, I get my bank statement on the 12th of each month. My payslips are between 23rd and 25th of each month. As such I was going to submit my June 12th bank statement and my June 24th payslip. Will it be an issue that the bank statement will not show the June wages entering my bank, it shows...

Thanks Casa.

I was aware of the NHS surcharge of £600, but not the IHS number part, so thanks for the clarification.

Other than this, does the documentary evidence look ok?

Hi PariJ, Thanks for reviewing my list and for your suggestions. However as my wife is a US citizen we don't need a TB certificate or anything to support English Language requirement. I don't know what the IHS number is that you refer to - I guess this might not be applicable to an application from ...

Hi All, I'm sorry if this post is a little irritating but my wife and I are about to submit our online application for a Spouse visa. We do not have any friends or family who are willing or able to objectively review the documentation that we plan to submit. As such I would be eternally grateful if ...

Hi All, My wife has been filling out the online application for her spouse visa. She is worrying about the 'what is your monthly income' question and why they ask that in the online application when it's assessed on the sponsor's income. She is paranoid that the ECO will think her monthly income of ...

Please, if anyone can help I'd be really grateful. Will my P60 (earnings from my current job only for the last tax year) and my P45 (earnings from my previous job which ended July 2014) be acceptable for the ECO as proof of my annual income for the last tax year? I can't get a new P60 to include the...

Hi All, I'm sponsoring my wife to apply for a spouse visa to live wit me in the UK. Do I have to submit my P60 along with my banks statements, pay slips etc? My current employer has provided me with a P60 ending Apr 2015 but it doesn't include any earnings from my previous job, which I left a few mo...

1)Tenancy Agreement 2)No Objection letter from property agent (on behalf of Landlord) for my spouse to stay. 3)Council Tax Statement 4)Utility Bill(credit card ,electricity etc) 5)Photographs of the property. I am sole lease holder of the property.If you are living in shared accomodation,then prope...

Also PariJ, just wondering what documents you supplied regarding accommodation for you and your spouse?

that should be fine, as long you have supporting documentations to prove the relationship is genuine and subsisting, Attached below are the list i submitted for Marriage & Subsisting relationship ,hope this helps. 1. Marriage Item Document 1 Marriage Certificate 2 Wedding Cards 3 Photographs 4 ...

There's no requirement for lengthy relationship, only evidence of a genuine one. Neither do you need to show a formal wedding celebration. Ensure however that as the sponsor you meet the financial condition of annual earnings of at least £18,600 as this is mandatory. Only savings over £16,000 (held...

Ok thank you CR001 - that's one less thing less to worry about organising!

Thanks CR001. I'm just very nervous about not submitting something that in this case might only cost £100, and could end up with the application being refused. I have also prepared a Word document with a description and photos of the property and could supply my copy of the move-in inventory (althou...

I rent through a well known agency in my area. Unfortunately the Tenancy Agreement doesn't say anything about the size or type of property. I have asked the letting agent to give details about the flat being 2 bedroom with large living room etc. in the letter they give confirming that my wife can li...
