Application test-run?
« on: October 30, 2014, 02:01:06 PM »
Hi. I have been working on the supplemental forms for my spousal visa application, but have not yet looked at the application itself. I am afraid to register and begin one and then not be able to finish it at that time. I would, however, like to see one ahead of time. Am I able to register and begin and application, but not submit it at that time? Save for later, you know?

The online application is much easier than the Appendix 2, so if you have already been working on the appendix, the online form will be a piece of cake - it's just a generic form asking for your personal details.

Here you go, the VAF4a paper version of the online application is here:
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/274029/VAF4A.pdf

It's not exactly the same - a few questions are phrased slightly differently, but it's useful to use for reference to prepare before you fill out the online form.

It's found on the same page as VAF4a Appendix 2:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/application-for-uk-visa-for-family-settlement-form-vaf4a

You can also start the online form and keep saving it until you are ready to submit it, so you don't have to do it all in one go - some people start filling it out several weeks before they will apply.

The online form is very generic and no where NEAR as in-depth as Appendix 2, as ksand said.  Looking at the paper copy of VAF4a will give you a good idea of the information you will need to compile (helpful so you can work out your international travel history before it is time to type it in online).  The only section I can remember not being on the paper version is the section about your employment information.  I was glad that I had filled out the VAF4a prior to logging in online because I was able to have all the information in front of me when I was filling out the real application.  Good luck!
