I want to warn you (as it had me panicked) when you "submit" the document it takes AGES to do something and then come back to you. There is a popup which warns about submission (and no going back) then you click OK and nothing seems to happen. Just wait, and wait, and wait. About 20 minutes later (we had around 300 pages in total) the page refreshed and all documents were accepted.
Just a heads up as I was panicking on the day before the biometrics!
I thought the eSolo5 portal was actually quite functional, but the categories don't really match up to anything (they are very generic).
Good luck

Sponsor Financial Docs
Original Job offer email with original letter

Our relationship started mid 2018.
Accomodation Docs
Signed Letter from my father confirming both me and my husband can stay stay at our house with his British passport bio page attached (Both my parents own the property)
Recent Mortgage statement (conveniently came at the end of January)
Property Valuation which also includes how many bedrooms (4) and other rooms in the property.
Are we missing anything guys ???
I included a full property valuation in both my parents name and a recent & original mortgage statement that has been issued on official letterhead and sent by the owner’s (my parents) mortgage provider, also a letter from my dad confirming we have permission to stay, there is enough space in the house, how many of us will be in the house in total and also stated we will have sole use of one en-suite room. We were advised that both Mortgage and Cash buyers are classified as homeowners. If you’re a cash buyer the title deeds is what will be necessary for you to show you own the house, if Mortgage buyer then a recent mortgage in the owners name.
Thanks! Others said the same about the Confirmation statement so I’ve removed it now.geoeng wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 8:26 amFrom a quick glance, nothing obvious appears to be missing. An employment contract is not necessary to include nor is the employer confirmation statement from Companies House relevant unless the sponsor is a director of a limited company based in the UK (though Appendix FM-SE and the financial requirement guidance appear to have different wording in this regard). If the sponsor's employment is already in the UK, all that is necessary to include is payslips and personal bank statements covering a period of 6 months prior to the application date and a letter from the employer; evidence of a job offer is required in cases where the sponsor is returning to the UK with the applicant rather than the case where the sponsor is already working in the UK.
I wasnt sure if you had the above, but that looks like a solid foundation to evidence your parents own the house.AkuaTT wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 10:41 amI included a full property valuation in both my parents name and a recent & original mortgage statement that has been issued on official letterhead and sent by the owner’s (my parents) mortgage provider, also a letter from my dad confirming we have permission to stay, there is enough space in the house, how many of us will be in the house in total and also stated we will have sole use of one en-suite room.

We haven’t included any bills, I’m not sure what the bills will emphasise to the ECO?
Hi clareR,clareR wrote: ↑Sun Feb 23, 2020 1:21 pmI did not have too much trouble with the uploading. It is true that the categories are a bit odd, but they kind of make sense. There was a preview and there was no lag when I was doing it....Once uploaded I was also able to go back and remove and add stuff etc and you can put a description by each file upload so it is clear what it is. At the biometric apptmnt my husband said the person checked through all his uploads also...we did not pay for document check, but they took a look anyway.
Anyone??AkuaTT wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2020 5:55 pmHi Guys!
Might be a bit of a silly question but I’m curious:
In what order are our documents sent to the ECO when self uploading on TLS? Would it be in the order we upload our documents ORR in the order of how TLS have done the categories for example ‘Residency, Employment Evidence and Financial evidence’ are the first three categories in the drop down menu . If I upload docs in Sponsor evidence or family evidence first is that what they will see first?
Not sure if I’m making sense lol, reason I ask is because I am non-salaried and my calculations etc are in my letter of support but Sponsor evidence comes after Financial evidence. If docs are viewed how TLS have listed the categories I’ll split the letter into two so that the first doc they see in financial evidence is my calculations and how I meet the requirements according to the Appendix FM 1.7 etc then my payslips etc will flow from there.
Does anyone have a clue?
Thanks!!
Presumably overthinking this. Template Generic mail that's supposedly precomposed but your own case got a personal touch . Let hope the actual case worker does a favourable job.AkuaTT wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 11:11 pmEvening all, My husband went for his biometric appointment the morning of 5th March and received an email that afternoon that his application has been sent to the decision making centre. He then received the email the next day from the UK decision making centre but it said “ Thank you for your online application which has been received at the UK Decision Making Centre. Your application is currently being prepared for consolidation by an Entry Clearance Officer.” Etc etc.
I know everyone’s email usually says their application is currently being prepared for consideration. Am I overthinking this or?
Ahh okay then, just wanted to double check lol. Thanks!AmazonianX wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2020 12:12 amPresumably overthinking this.
