hi seagul,
one last question as the app is almost ready. do i need to write a cover letter? there are no anomalies or docs we've missed which they've asked for. the only thing that could need an explanation is that the council tax bills for the last 2-3 years that i've uploaded state the date issued as the date i downloaded them off my council's website (so October 2020)-on the top of the bill though it states the years it's for. is that worth writing a cover letter for?
if you do recommend i write it, who should it be from i.e. me or my wife (the applicant)?
thanks!
If there is no ambiguity with the case then you can go ahead without the covering letter but still no harm in attaching it especially spotlighting the financial calculations (if you wish so).
That letter can be written from either of you.
great. thanks.
i will add a cover letter but i don't want to go over board with what i include. please highlight from the list below what you recommend i should include:
1. how me and my wife met.
2. my citizenship status and how much i earn.
3. where we live and that i've attached docs showing i have a mortgage on it.
4. clarify the 'date issued' discrepancy on the council tax bills.
5. in the app, i selected the option that says "Not the same amount continuously, above the
financial requirement amount" when it asked what i earn. this is because i have a gross salary plus a commission that's paid 3-4 times a year. should i include this commission explanation in the cover letter to explain why i selected that particular option?
6. in one section, it asked for details of any previous addresses. i added that we stayed with my parents for 1 month after her arrival. given this was more than 2 years ago, is there any point in adding this to the cover letter (as they're only concerned with the last 2 years)?
please excuse my long questions. just being over cautious
