5 Her letter to explain or relationship
6 Her bank stament
7 My passport Copy + Signed By Solicitor

10 My employer's letter - Basically saying my wage, date of employment and im still employed
11 Provisional Marriage Booking form and Hotel Booking Details
12 My Mothers letter as she owns the house we live in authorising she will allow her to say in this house
13 My Payslips 6 months (Copies + Solicitor signed)
14 My P60 (Copy + Solicitor signed)
15 My bank statments (6 month) (Copy + Solicitor signed)
16 My Visa card statements
17 My Telephone Bills (BT)
18 Our MSN chat history / Emails. Photos together

Also she thinks the following will help

19 Our friends letter
20 Chinese wedding book bills
21 Her parent's letter
22 Wedding Designs
23 Her wedding dress pic



Ok so this is our list we think we need. Ill reference to each point to the number if thats ok

7 / 8 - Colour copies are ok right? Im going to get each page signed etc by th solicitor. I just not too keen on sending my passport + birth certificate to china.

9 Do i need to go into detail of costs. Ive mentioned costs which i will be aware of but not actual money values here. I have over 20k saved so maybe this isnt needed?

13 / 14 - Also is copys + sigend ok? Originals can be provided if its majorly better any advice?

15 - I can provide originals here if really needed but again copys + signed is preferred so i can keep my originals.

16/17 Any idea how long I need to provide for these?

18. Is it better to print every single email and msn chat? our chat is so big like 500+ pages it seems a bit rediclous but if it helps with her application we can do it. We can provide a CD with documents maybe this is ok? Also best to print out all the photos or just a selection and maybe provide the rest on a CD?


20. Should this be mentioned? We intend on going back to china to get Married there later in the year. Do they really need to know this and would it infact hinder the application?


Our wedding is booked in the UK for 16 June..just hoping it will all go through by then. Its going to take me about another week to finalise everything I need.

Thanks for any replies.

It sounds like you have sufficient evidence, I put letters from friends and family supporting the relationship in the evidence folder as advised by my solicitor who put my application together, I also put the receipt for my wedding dress in the application too and a letter from the vicar saying he was happy to do the wedding on 23 June. I had hundreds of mobile phone bills which were highlighted and it took me three days to complete so put as much evidence in it as possible.

My fiance has an interview next week, it took three weeks to get it so if I were you I'd try and find out how long the process could take in China as it may be a while if they need to interview or if they are busy at the moment.
