Hey Guys,

I did searched before posting my query.
I ll be applying for my wifes dependent visa. So, to take it further I was looking for a format for the Sponsor letter from myself and Cover letter for wife.

If you can guys can point me to the thread or provide me the cover letter, that would be great.

Another query is can i print the VAF 10 form in color or it has to be in black and white, cos i only have a color printer sorry for the stupid question.

Hi,

I did read some of the cover letters some times back and saved it as fav on my laptop, but lost it all after my computer crashed. I was just looking at a pointer to those existing docs. Hope somebody will help.

Also, can I take color printout of the VAF 10 form.

Regards..
