1) Is it compulsory for me as the applicant to submit my birth certificate, in addition to my passport? I will be applying for the visa in India. However, I was born in Kuwait and I'm not really sure I have a birth certificate Embarassed I have something that's scribbled with unintelligible arabic and I'm guessing that's all there is to my 'origins' Laughing
No its not an requirement.
2) Is it necessary for all of the sponsor's documents to be the originals? Or is it acceptable to have them as some sort of notarized copy?
Fiance is in the UK and isn't exactly sure when he can fly down, and I'm paranoid at the thought of sending such originals through the post Confused
All docs must be originals. Only notarized copys of sponsors passport is allowed
3) Which brings me to this question, would it be to my advantage to have him here with me when I make the application? I know I'd like him here for moral support, but considering it could take up to three months for a decision, does he really have to be here if all I need to do it turn up at the centre and hand in my application?
No he doesnt need to be there at all.All you do is to hand your application in and then sit tight and wait for an outcome
4) Apart from the sponsor letter, is there a sponsorship undertaking form that should be included? Confused
Not required
5) Should his flat be surveyed to show it is big enough for the two of us? (and it really is fairly big!)
Yes it needs to be done and you have to send it with your application
None of those things matter. I've never met a single couple that actually had an engagement party hehe. As long as you can show that your relationship is genuine and that you've met that's all that matters.MisfitMeL wrote:Thank you Elena!
Another question that's been on my mind. Bf and I have decided to marry, so I guess that makes us engaged, however, we only decided this over emails/chat and there isn't going to be a 'ceremony' or party since we are apart. There isn't even a ring. Would any of this hinder my application when it comes to proving that we are really genuine?
I wonder how long I can single handedly keep this thread going?
Not forgetting that your BF/fiancee has to show that he has made an attempt to make some form of arrangements for when and where the wedding will takes place ( eg booking arragments for the civil marriage in a registry office/hindu temple etc), wedding cards/inviataion etc to best your best palies like me and Elenae.g. emails, chats, pictures, phone bills, flight itineraries etc...

Thanks for setting my mind at ease Elena
Batley, we are planning to tentatively book our civil wedding at the registry and use that as additional evidence. But we weren't thinking of making invitations until I get there

And RattleSnake, I'm afraid BatleyKhan is right, you'll have to provide a nugget of wisdom that will help me get my visa and only then will you find something special in the post for you!
