Also, I organised it so well. I used many pos-its, pocket folder, sent application in 1 binder and the doucments all divided into sections (using dividers) in another with a full list of table of contents. I made is as easy as possible for the case worker to review the application package. Every single document was in a clear plastic pocket folder/insert. It was a good looking package

Congrats! you have shown some good points and things to learn. Albeit such an organised application is not always possible for some applicants when they submit through lawyers/legal representatives which is a pity. Although I am sure what you did always make a good impression since case workers are also human and may like to see more organised application!

@ Misskin , firstly many congratulations for your visa. You mentioned about two letter before receiving your visa. what does the second letter says ? does it says about delay cause of interview or verifications checks ?? as many of us received " necessary to interview letters .

@shk786, the letter said: "although we would normally decide your application within 8 weeks, unfortunately this is not goign to be possible in your case. A decision has been delayed as a result of further checks."

But clearly, this didn't happen and it was a mistake on the part of Home Office.

Hi guys, I am going to attend the interview coming Saturday. my husband gave me 25K into my personal account and my brother in law also transferred 10K into my account (that he had borrowed earlier from me), so I am wondering do I need to have a notarized declaration letter of that source of money, or, I simply can say, he gifted me and now its entirely I own and control.

Please suggest.Every little will help.
Thanks a lot.
