Online Application

Thank you.

It was a really stupid mistake that I am kicking myself over now. Hopefully when this document comes. I can submit straightaway as everything else is ready.

I ordered my title deeds from Land Registry. They are dated 28th October. Do these need to be within 28 days too? Or is that just for the financial documents?

The date on it is fine.

Hi everyone

I finally got the document I was waiting for regarding my premium bonds. I will be submitting in the next couple of days. Please can you help me by checking the below document list as I really don’t want to have to cancel and resubmit again due to any errors I make. Please can you let me know if I need to add something and if the dates on documents are all ok.
I also wanted to provide a little history – I have an arranged marriage with my husband, arranged by our parents. He is based in India. We got married in November 2019 in India.

[CR001]

• Home Insurance Certificate

• Letters of Support – My father, brother, sister, husbands brother

• Applicant Support Statement

• Applicant Aadhar card (India Government ID card)

None of these are required. Letters of support carry no weight because anyone can write anything you ask them to.

• Applicant Degree Certificate

Why are you submitting this if she is using the A1 test to meet the English requirment?? Ukvi don't care about her qualifications.

• Confirmation of employment letter

• My mobile Phone bill – proof of address

If you are relying on savings, why are you submitting an employment letter?? You will just complicate things if you submit the letter and no payslips and banks statements showing your income.

ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS

• Appendix II form

• SU07 Sponsorship form

Not required. The online form has the financial questions so appendix 2 not needed. SU07 is NOT required for a spouse visa.

Thank you CR001.

With regards to my husband's (applicant) passport - he hasn't used it so no stamps or visas. Do I need to upload the blank pages to show this or is it okay to just mention this?

Still scan and upload ALL pages.

[fizzy2020]

Thank you for the answer... I will scan all the pages. I have a few more questions below:

• Is it the same for my passport (sponsor)? All pages need to be scanned - even blank ones?

• Is it okay for me to combine documents into one pdf file? For example,I have combined all the accommodation documents in one file with a list of contents on the first page.

Thank you for the answer... I will scan all the pages. I have a few more questions below:

• Is it the same for my passport (sponsor)? All pages need to be scanned - even blank ones? Photo/biometrics pages only from sponsor's passport will suffice

• Is it okay for me to combine documents into one pdf file? For example,I have combined all the accommodation documents in one file with a list of contents on the first page.

for sake of good order, such crucial requirements better not be muddled up. Ensure legible,within size limits and sequential as per date to make life of CW easier.

With regards to my employment letter, I included this because a part of my cash savings is from my regular salary. I thought they might want to see proof of my employment because of that. Will it not be necessary then?

Hi all

Most of the photos I have included have been sent to me by others especially of our wedding time. Is it ok if I annotate the photos in a word document with the date instead of screenshots of the photos with the date (as this date is reflecting when the photo was sent to me)

Yes you can annotate them and get them uploaded in compliance with requirements as per format and size.

Thank you AmazonianX for your help. Thank you everyone who has helped me.

I am close to submitting but after last time, I keep checking everything again as don't want to make mistakes. Just wanted to confirm, is it only the financial documents that have to be dated 28 days before date of application? Are there any other time conditions for other documents?

[Lagado]

Your employment letter has to be within 28 days too, If you do plan on submitting that

[fizzy2020]

Thank you Lagado

Regarding planned date of arrival in UK in the application form - if I put April 2021 and my husband gets visa in March 2021, does that mean he wont be able to come until April?

In previous situations, HO will try to work around the date you indicated as time when visa vignette will be valid from. However, once granted applicant is not excluded from travelling within the date vignette is valid from whichever date this is.

[fizzy2020]

Thank you

On the application form, the following question is confusing me:

"Does (sponsorname) have a confirmed offer of employment in the UK starting within 3 months of their return?"

I am not sure how to answer this as I have a job already and where are they asking I am returning from?

The above is a question for BC who are returning from abroad with their spouse and needs to meet they criteria of having a guaranteed job starting within 3 months of their return to UK to meet financial requirements.
Go over your application as it appears you have answered one of the questions wrongly and hence the questions you subsequently got..

[fizzy2020]

I checked everything again. The question comes in the finance section after I have declared I am relying solely on cash savings.
In addition I checked the rest of the application and everything is correct. I even wrote no to will i be travelling to uk with applicant. I have declared my British citizenship and shown my British address. Im not sure why this is happening

[fizzy2020]

Hi all, please can I have some advice regarding the below:

I have responded no to the question on the application "Does (sponsorname) have a confirmed offer of employment in the UK starting within 3 months of their return?"

I have also included the below in the extra information part at the end. Please can anyone let me know what they think. I have checked the application and there is nothing to suggest I dont live in the UK plus we have wholly relied on cash savings.

" With regards to the question "Does (sponsorname) have a confirmed offer of employment in the UK starting within 3 months of their return?" - My wife, (sponsorname) lives in the UK and has always lived there. She also works there and has worked at her current role since (date). We have included an employment proof letter."

Then I don't know what is a miss. Review again and if same address it in cover letter.

Hi everyone, thank you for your help. I am finally ready to submit today. This has been a very stressful time but this forum has really helped. I am usually very confident but have been the opposite in this process. I just had one final question about my bank statements:

I have over 6 months bank statements up to 24th December 2020 stamped and signed in branch on 31st December 2020. I am submitting today on the 7th January. Do the timings meet all the requirements?

I know it may seem stupid to ask this but I just need someone to check that I have calculated everything correctly.

Yes, the timing meets up as the last statement is still within 28days of application submission date.

Hi all
Thank you so much for all your help. My husband received his passport with visa today. It took under 8 weeks.
