After much researching online, I stumbled on this website and thought I would share my application details as well and get your best wishes.
My husband is a British national, and after getting married in January 2012, we applied for the spouse visa on April 27th with the following documents:
Applicant's Info:
Old and New passports
Birth Certificate and Tenth Certificate (Proof of Age)
Last employment contract (currently unemployed)
Last few payslips
Bank Statements for the past 6 months
Tax Statements for the year 2010 and 2011 (Canadian ones) as I lived in Canada before moving to India although I am Indian
Sponsor's Info:
Old passport (VISA stamps to prove that we were in a long distance and met every so often)
Photocopy of the new passport and Indian VISA copy
Pay slips for 6 months
Bank Statements for 8 months
Tax slips for 2 years
Savings statements- most recent ones - issued yearly
Employment Contract in India
Language Proof:
Degree Certificate (official)
Research paper from final year in English
University Transcript and Statement of Results (unofficial)
Print out from UKBA Points Based Calculator
Maintenance and Accommodation:
Rental Agreement from UK with an accompanying original letter explaining that it was done while the client was abroad
Budget Sheet as both of our budgets are not typical as he still got paid in UK while working in India, and I had a job for four months before I resigned etc etc
Marriage:
Marriage Certificate Original, and photos from the day
Relationship evidence:
Lots of emails
Facebook messages
Emails from other friends and family asking about how both of us are doing
Lots of photos from each and every trip that we have taken together
Skype chats
Gmail chats
Travel tickets
Hotel bookings etc
I hope I covered everything that they could possibly need and am sincerely hoping that I wouldn't be denied a VISA and if I am- God knows what I might do next!!!!
Does anyone have any idea how long it might take after it says that it is under processing. Also, is there a way you can find out what stage of the processing it is???
Thanks so much guys, and wish you all the very best and hope all of you hear good news soon enough!
