Thank You Batleykhan,
Is the template for a sponsorship undertaking that you wrote in the following link suitable for settlement visa purposes? :-

Also do I need to get this attested by an oath commisioner?

Thanks Zak, I have the SU07/01 so i'm ok regarding the sponsorship undertaking form. The sponsorship declaration however is something I didnt' realise you needed let alone get attested by an oath commisioner. I would be very greatful if you could send me your template. I dont understand why this is ...

Is a sponsorship undertaking the same as a sponsorhip declaration?

Ok, what about Mirpur. Do you know if they do the same there? This is so frustrating as I have SO many documents and loose bits such as plane tickets etc. Is a sponsorship declaration the same as a sponsorship undertaking? Batleykhan gave an example of one here: http://www.immigrationboards.com/view...

Thanks Kaidee. I willl most likely use the same shipping method as you as it sounds like the best way to go. I'll keep everyone informed of what I do and when. That list of contents has been very helpful. I have now organised my documents in very similar way. It does make everything easy to find and...

My father has written a letter stating that he will allow myself and my wife to stay in his home for as long as we wish.
Does anybody have a template for this letter as i'm just trying to refine it.

Thanks snipered,
Yes i'm going to staple the photos to A4 pieces of paper and photocopy them. Did you put all your documents in clear sleeves in a folder?
How did you number your pages?

In my situation, I live in a 5 bedroom house and the total number of people living here is 4 (including the sponsor). When I include my wife, the total number of people living in the property will be 5. My father will write a letter confirming all of this. I was also questioning wether this will ass...

@IS200 thanks for the info

Anyone else had experience shipping their visa application to Pakistan? How long did it take? Who did you use..etc.

@ Snipered. Thanks for the advice. I will be getting everything photocopied in England. Would you also photocpy the photographs? Or just print them out twice? As for delivery options, I agree with what your saying, but I dont know anybody going to Pakistan any time soon. I need to use a shipping com...

Hey everyone,
Inshallah I will be posting my wifes application to Pakistan really soon. Whats the quickest and securest shipping method that I should use.
Fedex offered a 4 day service, what has everybody else used?

Next question should be an easy one about the letter written by my employer. I quote one of Batleykhans earlier posts:- "Make sure the letter of employment is on headed paper and the letter contains the date you started, the job you do, the hours you work and the yearly salary you get paid and ...

So is a house with more then one family unit a multiple occupancy accomodation?

I have decided NOT to get a housing inspection report based on the advice given. Even though I do live in a multiple occupancy accommodation, there is clearly no risk of overcrowding as it is a 5 bedroom house with 2 spare bedrooms. This will be verified by a letter from my dad. They can easily chec...

@Mrlookforward - Your right that the phots could be of anybodys house so wouldnt add anything to the application. If accompanied by a letter or inspection report, then I think it will do the application no harm. @Batleykhan - You stated that it is not an essential document but desirable in certain c...

I see your point Navalaviator...its racking my brain! Mrlookforward thanks for your opinion and the info. I will let you guys know what I decide soon, lets hope somebody will be able to shed more light on navaliators concerns above. Wether I include it or not however, do you guys think photos are es...

"This is only relevant in multiple occupancy accomodations"

Multiple occupancy accomodations such as mine?, as I live with my brother and parents

Ok next question... Is a housing inspection report essential? I have a letter from my dad detailing the measurements of each room in the house and have taken photos. We live in a 5 bedroom house and the only other person living in it other then me and my parents is my brother. This clearly leaves 2 ...

Thanks ElenaW, thats put my mind at ease a little ..Thanks for the luck, I am trying my best to get a solid case together in order to avoid it going to appeal. Help from people like you on this forum really make this a possibility.

@ ElenaW - Yes I did have a full time job and have been employed here for 2 1/2 years. I have a letter from my employer proving this as well as a P60 and the last 6 pay slips. @ amirtaheri - Thats quite reassuring thanks for that. I am also attaching my payslips and my bank statements. Thank you for...

Thanks Navalaviator.. When I apply I will have £2000 in my savings account and about £600 in my current account. £400 of the money in my current account will go on bills later on in the month however. I know you stated 2500-3000 as a guideline but do you think I should be ok based on past experie...

Hey everyone, Sorry for posting yet another thread but I think my post in the main thread has accidentally gone unnoticed due to the volume of posts. As some of you are aware, my wife is soon going to apply for a spouse Visa from Pakistan and inshallah I will send her all of the supporting documents...

Hey, I'm also in the same situation as you. There is a lot of helpful information on this forum and a lot of helpful people to. My advice is to take your time and make sure you have everything before submitting your case. The more I have been on here the more things i've realised I need or dont need...

Any advice you can give us? What did you leave out the first time. How much savings did you show?
