Aslo take this out, "and NAME herself is very keen to find employment as soon as possible and start contributing to our income."
She is joining you as a spouse not finding work.
Financial requiremnt is a key issue in decision making so if your salary is +9300 for the past 6 months, use category A and don't complicate it by including savings.
Keep it simple and straight forward.
Thanks that's useful to know about the word count, its difficult to keep it short. Yeah I thought that about the exact dates, I actually temporarily left Brazil a couple of times to visit family and work a bit, 1-2 months each trip. Should that be mentioned?Covee wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 6:27 pmMy letter was around 570 words and on top of this I put together a very detailed list of the all the documentation i included. So the document was around 1,100 words in total (letter + list)
For the list I created sub-headings such as financial evidence, proof of relationship, Sponsor ID, Applicant ID, Accommodation Evidence etc. and listed the title of every documents being provided under these subheadings. This way the person reviewing the application knew exactly what to look for.
With regards to dates, I used exact dates and was very very very careful to make sure the dates matched everything in passport, entry stamps, visas and the dates provided in the spouse visa application form. etc.
Hope this helps.
That should suffice to make up the shortfall. You will need the bank statement(s) for the required duration and a simple letter declaring the source of the savings.
Thanks for the reply.AmazonianX wrote: ↑Mon Aug 03, 2020 6:48 pmThat should suffice to make up the shortfall. You will need the bank statement(s) for the required duration and a simple letter declaring the source of the savings.
If the innate provenance of those funds was that gift which still hasn't been used then ideally still declare it.
Ideally apply from scratch once she reach back home.zimmerman wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 10:20 amAlso, my wife is currently in UK, can we begin the application, register an account, upload a few documents and fill in some details before she returns to her Home country to submit and pay? We were just thinking of getting organised and saving some time as we are together right now. I know she has to submit from her home country as she is just a visitor here, just want to know how far with the application she can get beforehand.
Would it likely cause any issues? As she has already registered an account on the website but hardly filled anything in. We just wanted to get a feel of the application website whilst we are in the same country and upload some evidence we have. She would pay and submit using my bank card in her country- which is the bit where they would judge and see it was applied for and submitted in the applicant's home country? A little confused haha!seagul wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 11:42 amIf the innate provenance of those funds was that gift which still hasn't been used then ideally still declare it.Ideally apply from scratch once she reach back home.zimmerman wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 10:20 amAlso, my wife is currently in UK, can we begin the application, register an account, upload a few documents and fill in some details before she returns to her Home country to submit and pay?

No issue. Even a dummy form can be run by anyone who even don't need the visa.zimmerman wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 12:32 pmWould it likely cause any issues?

Yeah that's what we were thinking. We were just worried if we start uploading stuff now in the UK it might be a problem when they start checking where the application was submitted from. As far as I can tell the key is to submit and pay in the correct place.seagul wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 12:36 pmNo issue.

Thanks,bathanza wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 1:11 pmSupporting letters can never be too long but has to be relevant to the tilea..
Format is correct always start with the sponsor situation and then each FLR M SE rules can be covered and how its met.
Anything that cannot be explained in the small boxes the HO give in an application can never be enough sometimes.
Don't mention it rather just attach the evidences such as tickets, passport stamps, pictures etc as part of subsisting relationship.
Yeah that probably makes sense, thanks.
You actually don't need it because you will find corresponding categories allow you to upload the relevant documents. See below:

Yes provided are 6 months old. The first £16000 won't be counted.zimmerman wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2020 1:06 pm
Ah right I see.
I am right in thinking we can apply under category a? I narrowly miss out on the salary requirements but want to use our savings to make up the difference?
Savings can be used in category a ?
Re this declaration. This gift was £10,000 so is about 1/3 of our combined savings.
No harm in attaching that but form might ask you to declare it.
No need as it might not fall within the remit of prescribed 6 months.
