Is there anything that I need to add or remove?

I have a question regarding the online application which I have printed and added, does it need the applicants picture on it? Or in other words where does the picture go that is required in the supporting docs? I've read in other threads that 2 passport size pics of the applicant are required.

All feedback will be much appreciated.

1) The Sponsorship undertaking form is not required for a Spouse Visa
2) Yes you need to include, passport pics, apparently only 1 but I included 2. I put them in a small envelope (so they wouldn't get lost) and attached to application form with a paperclip.
3) You mention Chatlogs from WhatsApp - is this the when you export your chat out and it comes out in a really long table? If so I don't think that's a good idea as they can easily be edited and manipulated. It's better to take screenshots. I took a screenshots of different conversations in every month since our relationship began to date.

I hope that helps!

Hi TAS01,

Thanks for the reply. Really helpful

1) I have read in a few places that the Sponsorship undertaking form is not required but then again I have also read in a few threads that applications have been rejected due to not having a sponsorship undertaking form :/ It's really confusing.

2) Thanks, I will do the same.

3) Not exported logs. I have screen shot images of our chat since last year and a half.

Good luck with your visa application if you haven't already received it

[TAS01]

No I haven't received it yet, only sent it off last week. Its so nerve racking the wait. But hopefully all will be fine.

I totally agree with you its very confusing, and a bit of a minefield to get your head around everything.

Yeh, I would have sent the paperwork off last week too but ran into a last minute issue with education certificated. Realised the name was slightly different from my Mrs old passport (has her caste at the end of the name). So had to get her to send me letter from the universities stating that its the same person etc.

Did you apply using priority service?

[TAS01]

Nope, We decided not to as by reading all stuff on here and other boards, decided it wouldn't be worth the extra money as there is no real guarantee. Good luck with your application. Keep us posted.

Received all documents back today. Literally ALL documents. Even the applicant's passport size photos :/

I'm pretty concerned that they may have missed out something by the state all the documents are in.

I know receiving documents back is a norm, but do they send back every single document? Even Online application and Appendix 2 have been sent back.

Is this normal?

You should join this forums Facebook group, (type this forums name in fb search box) it's active and everyone posts questions on there for suggestions and whatnot.

But returning the application and appendix 2 forms, seems weird.

Thank, I have just joined. Waiting on approval

Yes, it is very weird :/ I sent them two packs - original and photocopies. They sent everything back, literally every page.

Hi Usmanji

I also recieved my documents back today. Same as you I have recieved everything back, Inc his passport pics and appendix 2 and application form.

Did you send 2 bundles...the original and photocopy bundle?

Hi, I had sent my supporting documents to Sheffield on Aug 15th and they sent me back "everything" as well. I was quite concerned too, but If its happening to several people who have applied this month, I guess its normal!?
