Your list looks good to me.

Nothing at all to do with the visa application ..... the Travelodge booking in central Birmingham .... no doubt the rooms are well sound-proofed but it is in Broad Street in the heart of the entertainment district .... lots of pubs and restaurants ... and people out enjoying themselves until quite late, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. Assuming you have made a flexible booking you might want to book somewhere a little quieter, given your family situation ... once you have got the visas in the passports.

Are you going to be working in Birmingham? If so and your want some advice what hotel to book for your initial stay in the UK, send me a PM giving details of where you will be working and I shall come up with a few suggestions.

Hi John (Moderator) / Uchmando / People booked rooms for EC..Kindly advice

Can i book room in 'Travelodge' under 'Flexible Rooms' and give the same as proof with EC Application? For Flexible Rooms we don't make the Payment during booking. Is payment receipt to be shown during EC?

Regards,
srib

I think that as long as you have a credit or debit card acceptable to Travelodge, yes of course.

Other applicants have not needed to show a payment receipt. Merely written confirmation of the hotel booking is enough.
