One question I had, it asked in the applicationDo you hold a valid national identity card?

We put Yes and put in my wife’s Peruvian national identity card. Do we need to also upload that in any of the sections?

[mark2019]

******** CORRECTION********

Declaration for Spouses signed and filled out by SPONSOR! (NOT APPLICANT)

[bathanza]

National ID card isn't required as part of application.

Document list looks good. (You've reminded me to upload the checklist!!)

[AmazonianX]

What is important is to ensure uploading all supporting documents, under which or what category doesn't matter as CW will view all.

Declaration for Spouses signed and filled out by SPONSOR! (NOT APPLICANT)

@@mark2019 please desist from starting new checklist topics in the General Immigration sub forum, they have been removed!! You have already posted the question here in your existing topic, it is not necessary to start multiple new topics in other sub forums asking the same question.

[mark2019]

Apologies.

I just wanted confirmation from one of the Gurus to ensure the list of documents I have is correct and am not missing anything

[mark2019]

I have just noticed on the checklist there is one that says;

Documents supporting my other reasons to stay in the UK.

What documents is this referring to? I have only supplied what is in my checklist posted above.

Thanks

What have you filled out in the section where it says about the other reasons to stay or how it would impact if there was a refusal?

Do you have a copy of your previous application and what you wrote then?

You can simply write a cover letter which covers all the requirements of a spousal 5 year route and how you meet all requirements and wish to stay in the UK as you have rights to do so as a married partner of a British Citizen (if indeed that is the case or/other scenario that they give)

[mark2019]

We simply put that we have cemented a life here and that my wife has a strong bond with my family, has a job she likes and has met some new close friends.

We weren’t going to supply anything to cover that though. Is this something that we should do?

Thanks

[mark2019]

We put for “why we can live outside the UK”;

Established a solid life in UK, I have a mortgage and we have friends and family here.

For “Factors that make it difficult to establish private life in country of applicants birth” we put;

Economy is currently very unstable, lack of employment and there is political unrest.

To be honest we weren’t going to put anything to cover these sections, should we add something?

Thanks

[mark2019]

Could an expert please kindly assist me with this?

Thanks

The questions ain't make or mar and your responses are good.
Stop overthinking

[mark2019]

Thank you AmazonianX

Yes I have been over thinking it, I know we pass all the criteria, just some questions are odd. I couldn’t work out if I should tick the “other reason wanting to stay evidence” on the checklist.

I just ticked it anyway.

Biometrics on Friday, so just now got to wait

[mark2019]

Hello Guys,

Last thing that has come to mind, does applicant need to upload previously held passports or only current?

Thanks

Upload travel records that relates to your UK immigration history.

[mark2019]

Just so I’m clear, I should upload all passports used since we started our Finance visa?

Thanks

[bathanza]

Current passport is scanned for the applicant. I don't see anywhere in the mandatory docs or supporting that previous is needed.

You need to add in travel information SINCE you've got your visa in the 2nd section where they ask travel history. They'll have records on their side

[mark2019]

Understood.

We have input our travels on the application form and have also scanned all pages of both passports showing stamps going in and out the countries. Is that all that is required?

Thanks

That's shouks be sufficient.

Hello Guys hope you are well.

We are about to go to our appointment today at 6pm.

I went on just to check all documents are uploaded and came across something and was wondering what it means?

Most of the documents 90-95% have the option of on remove next to them, where I can delete the document if required.

5-10% have the word submitted next to them with no option to remove.

Is there any reason for this? Could it be as our appointment is today they are slowly submitting all the docs?

Thanks

Just prepare and attend your appointment. Any further steps that needs to be done will be taken by the UKVCAS personnel.

Biometrics all sorted and documents have all been submitted. It is now a waiting game.

Any idea what the current processing time is for the extension?

Thanks
