Yes, sure seagul
1. Completed form VAF4A (online one, printed it after)
2. Appendix 2 (completed online and printed it after)
3. Wife's passport
4. Certified copies of sponsor’s passport (by solicitor in London - all pages with stamps must be included)
5. Marriage certificate and translation
6. Sponsor’s divorce certificate and translation
7. Letter from Sponsor’s employer
8. Sponsor’s payslips for the last 6 months (I receive them by post, so used it kind a confirmation of my address too), FY 15/16 P60. I also requested HR to list my salary before April 2016 and after (as I had a pay-rise).
9. Sponsor’s bank statements for the last 6 months (where I receive my monthly salary)
10. Tenancy agreement
11. Property inspection report with the pictures and house plan.
12. Letter from landlord stating agreement for wife's joining in the property
13. Evidence of telephone contact and WhatsApp/Viber messages (only about 2 screenshots every month). Important to show love and affection in conversations. I added a little note explaining that we could send them hundreds of pages of our communication, but to save their time we made 2 screenshots per month for the last 2 years. We didn't translate them from Russian to English.
14. Evidence of funds remitted as well as proof that wife received them - Western Union mainly.
15. Photographs (Wedding, holidays, family photos)
16. Language test pass certificate
17. TB test pass certificate
18. Covering letter from sponsor in support of wife's application (1.5 pages, just giving brief notes to avoid any possible misunderstanding)
19. Council tax bill/Utility Bills/AMEX statements - all on my name here in London
20. Any other documents that may add any positive value to your application - we added our photos from London where we first met, pictures from London Eye (the one they sell after a ride), then me sending postcards to Russia from time to time (they all got Russian Post Office Service stamps to confirm that they were actually send from UK to Russia) etc.
Hope this helps anyone.
Guys feel free to ask, I'll help where I can.
