Hi, I have an Australian girlfriend and we wish to live together in the UK. It appears that the only way we can do this is to get married. We've discussed this and have agreed that we would be happy to marry.
She is going to go home and apply for a fiance visa. What kind of supporting documents are required. Am I correct in thinking you have to prove that she won't need to claim public funds, we have enough money to live on, we have somewhere to live and that we have met.
Would the following be enough documentation from myself and am I missing anything?
A cover letter explaining our relationship, how we met, what we intend for the future etc.
Copies of my passport and birth certificate.
A letter from my employer confirming I'm in full time employment.
Copies of some of my pay slips
Copies of my savings certificates.
Letter from my landlord confirming where I live, size of house etc.
Plane tickets from when she has visited me
Copy of stamp in my passport from when I visited her
Photos of us together.
Will this be sufficient info? Does it matter that we haven't booked a registry office or anything for the wedding yet?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
