Ok, so everything is falling into place for spouse visa at the very least.
Can I just check..
I plan to apply for wife initial settlement visa in Jan from UAE, maybe under priority application... for return to UK on April 7th.
We want to collect my step daughter from the Philippines in June (subject to getting the visa approved obviously and I know this is a possible issue).
So I am thinking I will then get all the documents back from wife application and hopefully approval for her visa by March (especially if priority but I know not guaranteed)
I will then update the payslips and bank statements etc so that they are then current again (ie cover the 6 month period prior to application) and forward all documents to Philippines for the application for step-daughter. Obviously along with all the things like marriage cert, proof of financials, proof of residence etc. Her birth certificate and other supporting evidence relating to the step daughter.
Does this sound right, as in can I do what I am proposing? Apply in a two stage process
So what do I do about letter of sponsorship (me) and/or letter of introduction (applicant - step daughter) that I would have provided for the wife visa... I mean how should I word them or what? Or are they not necessary?
Do I still need to provide the call logs and stuff that I provided for spouse visa?
Advice appreciated as I am wondering if I can even do it like this?
Thanks lots,

Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience
