Sponsor Letter Feedback?
« on: December 20, 2018, 10:09:40 AM »
Hello could someone please give me some feedback on my sponsor letter thus far?  We think we hit all the points good but I would love to hear your feedback on any changes/additions/removals.  THANK YOU!



Dear Entry Clearance Officer,

I am writing to confirm that APPLICANT, as shown on their passport, has been my boyfriend for the past two years and is now my legal husband since our wedding on DATE in USA LOCATION.

I am a British citizen and have been living in the United Kingdom continuously since my birth.  I am currently employed as JOB TITLE at JOB COMPANY with an annual salary of £SALARY AMOUNT per year and have held this permanent position since 16 July 2018.

I first met APPLICANT through a dating app called Tinder in July 2016.  He was working at JOB LOCATION for 2 years as a part of the Armed Forces on official military orders.  I lived in X CITY and he lived in Y CITY.  We matched on the app and connected immediately on many of the same interests such as music and love for travel.  We met up for our first date after a week of talking through Tinder and WhatsApp on July 22nd to have dinner and talk at a Prezzo in Ely, halfway between both of our homes.  After numerous dates and trips to countries like Italy and Spain, Andrew asked me to move in with him in Y CITY where I lived with him from November 2016 to November 2017.  November 2017 was the month his orders ended and he was required to return to the United States.  Whilst he was in Z CITY, United States, we talked everyday and I visited him every month and he visited me to keep regular contact and our relationship strong.  We both knew we wanted to get married from the very beginning but we were waiting for his military contract to end.  We decided we would set the date for DATE.  He got selected last minute for a deployment to X COUNTRY for 6 months on DATE.  We talked every day through numerous apps to include Messenger, WhatsApp, Skype, and Facetime.  Once APPLICANT returned to the states in January 2019, we got married in USA LOCATION on DATE.

Our plan is to initially stay at my parents’ home at the following address, X STREET, VILLAGE, CITY, COUNTY, U.K., POSTCODE, where there is a very spacious room waiting for us.  APPLICANT will be applying for numerous jobs in the area including a civilian position at ARMED FORCES LOCATION.  He has a security clearance and a lot of experience in the field due to his military career.  In the meantime, we will be looking to purchase a suitable home together in the area after he has settled in the country.  Eventually, we would like to start our own business as well.

Over the course of our 2-year relationship, we have overcome the long physical distance between us and we are ready to build our life together in the U.K.  We are hoping that once our application is successfully approved under Category A, the start date of APPLICANT’S spouse visa can be arranged for x March 2018 so that APPLICANT can catch a flight over to London where I will pick him up.  We look forward to our future together and are excited for the possibility to call the U.K. our home.

Yours sincerely,

Okay, your letter is a bit too long, with too much focus on your relationship. It should be short and sweet, facts only. It’s not about persuading them how much you love each other, it’s about stating how you meet each requirement of the application.

I would shorten it, something like:

To Entry Clearance Officer,

I am writing this letter in support of my husband’s application for a settlement visa to join me in the UK. I am a British citizen and have lived in the UK since birth.

I am currently employed as JOB TITLE at JOB COMPANY with an annual salary of £SALARY AMOUNT per year and have held this permanent position since 16 July 2018. Therefore, I am meeting  the financial requirement through Category A.

Once the visa has been granted, we will live at [address] with my parents. This is an X-bedroom property and there will be a total of Y people living there, so it will not be overcrowded.

Applicant and I first met through an online dating app in July 2016, when he was living in CITY for 2 years on Military Orders. We first met in person on DATE and we entered into a relationship on DATE. We saw each other when possible and took a few trips to Italy and Spain together before living together in CITY from November 2016 to November 2017, after which he had to return to the US. Since November 2017, we have talked daily using Messenger, WhatsApp, Skype, and Facetime, and he visited me in the U.K. on X DATES. We got engaged on DATE and married in CITY, COUNTRY on X January 2019. We would now like to settle in the UK together because REASON.


Yours faithfully,
Your Name
