Okay, so moving over my madness away from the priority processing thread at the excellent suggestion of KFdancer, I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row, so that if I'm rejected outright, I can be ready to go right back in. Alternatively, if they need additional info from me, I'll have it ready to roll, as well.
In my original application for a spouse settlement visa, I included (can't remember the order):
-marriage certificate
-USC passport (current and previous two)
-copy of UKC passport bio page
-application itself
-appendix 2 financial requirement forms
-signed sponsorship letter
-letter from my husband's new employer with start date and salary information
-correspondence with letting agency indicating we were taking on a lease in Oxford (the contract was not finalized-it has since been)
-copy of lease from the US demonstrating we had been living in the same house
-IHS fee receipt with biometrics stamp on it
-priority processing receipt
-return label and envelope
What I believe to be missing (and would be able to provide if they ask for it):
- proof of savings at or exceeding 62,5kgbp: 401k and bank statements dating from January 2017
(I did detail our savings and banking info on the appendix 2 forms, but neglected to include the statements as proof of my claim. )
-payslips from previous 12 months employment in the US for UKC
-tax filings from previous two years showing shared assets after our marriage
At present, I have received two emails from UKVI: one on 11 July indicated they had received my application (delivered 26 June) and it was "in process" and one on 2 August, indicating my application was "not straightforward" and may take longer than the targets. For the record, I have no criminal record or any history of being refused a visa.
So, given all of that, if you all can help me with anything else I might have missed and need to be ready to provide, I would really appreciate it!
