Hi there,
I am a UK citizen looking to have my Indian husband live with me in the UK.
I am just at the point of researching all the documents I will need for the application and I have a multitude of questions regarding what is needed.
Regarding the section on proof of relationship - we first met 2 years ago on the internet (sounds lame I know but you can't help where you find love lol), however I don't have the emails from those first couple of weeks of messaging each other, and because he doesn't have a computer at home and my laptop was stolen we graduated very early on to speaking on the phone almost every day. Will this be detrimental that I cannot produce those emails? Also I can supply 2 years of phone bills from my side as I have done almost all of the calling, however I use 0844 numbers so that I only pay around 0.5p/min and the phone bills just show this number and not his actual mobile number that I am calling. He has a pay-as-you-go mobile so cannot show calls he has made to me (which were rare anyway as they cost 10 rupees a minute). Can this be used as evidence or will they not consider seeing this number called every day for two years as proof of us speaking to each other?
We just recently got married also. We decided on just myself going over for the ceremony in India and that we would have a seperate blessing here in the uk at some point for my family. Will that count against us that my family were not present for the civil marriage? We did not have a big wedding at all, but we do have lots of pictures of the civil signings and the blessing in our church and I have my receipt for my dress and the cake which we got.
Regarding proof of finances - I have a pretty good job here in the uk and have enough to support both and I also have plenty of savings. Everywhere I have looked at what documents are needed for this section noone seems to mention supplying employment documents for the applicant. I can supply numerous documents about my own finances that show we will not rely on public funds in any way and it was also mentioned in another post about not putting in unecessary documents so I was wondering if my husband needs to match all my employment documents with his own indian ones or if mine will be enough and just putting in his CV along with his qualification docs? Also I have letters of job offers for him (admittedly they are not great jobs, hotel work and the like) will these be necessary if my finances are good?
Any help from some people who have experience in this or can provide any help at all would be very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
