Good day
You need to provide bank statements and these can be from South African accounts. You need to show that you have funds to support yourselves for at least 2 months or so in the UK. Employment offers would assist your application.
We only require your wifes original passport and a certified copy of your British passport.
Your parents will need to write a supporting letter to confirm the accommodation. They may also send you copies of their passorts and title deeds to confirm that the property is theirs.
Refer to attachments and the websites.

Good thinking. As long as the OP was together with his wife 4 years before applying for the settlement visa, she should get ILE.jazbaati99 wrote:Since you are married for more than four years there might be scope for an ILE visa. Your wife will have to pass the life in the uk test though. So don't really know how ILE works now, may be some senior member can comment?
It was sort of implied in your first post that you were a British Citizen/National. So yes, do make sure that your wife gets ILE. That would save you applying for ILR later on.marvinvv wrote:No V, British Citizen I am not sure what a National is new to this.
It's the same form VAF4, but you don't want a spouse visa, you want ILE (similar to PR/ILR)marvinvv wrote:We are getting there. I sincerely hope I have some to the point accurate information for people on this forum re: spouse visas. This forum and moderators are a great help. M
Actually to make the distinction 'English South African' is quite common in South Africa, it's not a colour distinction, but a language one. It simply means your home language is English and not Afrikaans, Zulu, Xhosa etc..jazbaati99 wrote:As far as I understand the OP is a British citizen by birth (now settled in SA) and his wife is a white South African citizen (although that makes no difference in terms of immigration to UK).
