Joining Family in the UK visa checklist

I'm applying for my visa to join my husband in the UK, I'm American, He is british. We've already paid for the application and I have my biometrics appointment scheduled for 2/16.

I would really appreciate if someone would double check my list for me and give opinions, as i'm starting to panic now with sending the documents being so close???

I'm worried I might need more for proof of relationship. Any comments would help. Thank you in advance.

Your list looks good .

I'm not an expert in self-employment documents, but it looks like you have it all covered.

In regards to relationship documents, what you have is perfectly fine - the only thing I'd say is that you have too many photos.

You only need to include 1 photo, maybe 2 at most, to show you have met at least once in person. I would just include 1 photo from early in the relationship and 1 recent photo (from the wedding if you married recently). Only the two of you should be in the photos, no one else, so take out all the photos with family members.

In regards to email/Skype screenshots, you only want to include about 2 sheets of paper for each - if you're covering 5 years of emails, I'd select maybe 12 emails per year (1 per month), listed on 1-2 sheets of paper. For 1 year of Skype calls, I'd go with maybe 1 call per week, or 1 call every 2 weeks.

Application done online and printed off(will be stamped after bio appointment)

The application won't be stamped at the biometrics appointment, you don't need to take it, although you do need to send the print out as part your application.
They stamp the biometrics appointment letter. Just take that and your passport.

TY for the responses

Is there a specific order these documents/sections should be placed in? I haven't come acrossed any sort of template for that in the UKBA information pages..  And am I literally just stacking everything in a pile, I read not to use folders/binders/dividers etc. Would separating with a colored piece of A4 be okay?

Another random question, probably just me overthinking again, but when doing my application online I selected Settlement>Settlement>Wife for category and type.. is that correct?

Just put them in a sensible order, in a pile. You can use paper clips or rubber bands to separate the sections if you like.

Don't forget to include photocopies of everything you would like returning to you (and I'd also make copies of the application forms for your records).

Yes, that's correct.

Do we send all previous/expired passports with the application and take only the current one for the biometric appointment

thanks

Yup

Quick question..

I sent my documents out to Sheffield on Monday. I received confirmation of package arriving on Thursday morning. And now I've just received email of decision made today.. is getting an answer that fast normal? Or should I be panicking?

I paid for priority processing.

Totally normalfor this time of year especially with priority.

I received my decision made email just a few days after they received them and that was this month.
