I am a US citizen, applying in the USA, for a spouse visa going cash savings route. I seem to have hit a roadblock while self uploading scanned docs on the VFS website . . . and their website doesn’t appear to offer much guidance. My questions are:
I only have a few pdf docs to upload, but the categories they need to be uploaded to are unclear. My required docs are:
1. Copy of bio data page for my spouse (This is obviously Sponsor Evidence)
2. My passport (do I need to scan and upload at all? Or just mail it off after?)
3. Evidence of shared responsibilities (is this Financial Evidence? Or Proof of Relationship?)
4. Proof of citizenship for my spouse- her UK passport (do I scan her entire passport? Or mail it off too?)
5. Marriage certificate (This is obviously Proof of Relationship)
6. Savings account statements x4 (sort of obvious, accts in my name Financial Evidence, but one acct is just in my spouses name - would that be Sponsor Evidence? Or Financial Evidence?)
7. Source of cash savings declarations x4 (same question as #6)
The choice of categories are:
Additional Documents/other
Employment Evidence
Accommodation
Consent Letters and Proof of Relationship
Financial Evidence
Educational Evidence
Appendix II
Sponsor Evidence
Also, I uploaded most docs before making my biometric appt. and printed the receipt which shows uploaded PDFs in the File column, but the Description column is blank.
Does that matter?
And now when I upload additional docs, they are there when I review, but not on the receipt when I reprint or re download it.
Does that matter? Is there a way to update the receipt and reprint it?
My current passport is only one year old, all my previous travel history for last 10 years is in previous passport. Should I mail it off too? Or scan and upload to which category?
Finally, I did have ILR thirty odd years ago in an old passport but came back to the USA 15 years ago, and therefore it is invalid - but should I include a copy of that old passport and IRL visa? If so, upload to what category? Or mail off actual old passport with my original.
