Thank you 

Looks pretty good, but you have a bit too much, so I would take out some things - 5 folders seems a bit excessive.

- You don't need driving licences

- You don't need mortgage statements (unless they are one of your 6 documents)

- You don't have to include savings accounts unless you are using them to show you have enough money (i.e. if one or both of you already makes enough, you only need to show those statements) - but you can include them if you like.

- You only need 3-6 months of bank statements and payslips (6 months to be on the safe side), so just May to October... you don't need them from March or April.

- You don't need P60s or letters from employers, just bank statements and payslips.

thanks Ksand.

i will take some stuff out and maybe put the documents in folder 2 and 3 in the same folder.

visa approved!!!  

my appointment was at 11am. we got there at 10:30. The staff at Solihull PEO were so lovely! my visa was approved by 2:30pm. The process was so simple and easy. It is definitely worth the £400 extra. I don't think i would have managed the stress of another postal application!

Naturalisation is next!

Thanks Ksand and everyone else for the help.

Congratulations !!

Glad I could help .
