Just wanted to post our list here to make sure we are on the same page as everyone and in the correct order

Printed Copy of Application
Appendix 2
Receipt of IHS surcharge

Council Tax bill for sponsor
Three savings account statements stating we are using ONLY cash savings to prove financials
2 pictures of the wedding
3 pictures of us as a couple
hotel, flight proof
copies of whatsapp chat

return shipping label
copies for things we want returned

Just going to rearrange everything into the correct sections for the application package:

Applicant Documents
- Receipt of Priority Processing
- Return shipping label
- Letter of contents from applicant (include an explanation of fiance visa refusal)
- Printed Copy of Application
- Appendix 2
- Stamped (as of tomorrow) biometrics appointment confirmation 
- Paper work from fiancé visa refusal (refusal letter)
- Receipt of IHS surcharge
- 3 Passports (1 current, 2 old)
- 1 passport photo of applicant

Sponsor's Documents
- Sponsors letter of support
- Copy of sponsors biometric passport page ONLY

Financial Documents
- Three savings account statements stating we are using ONLY cash savings to prove financials - do these cover - 6 full months, and not a day less? You must have 6 FULL months of statements from each account

Accommodation Documents
- Official copy of the land registry

Relationship Documents
- Official Wedding certificate (the licence is what you get BEFORE you get married, the certificate is what you get AFTER you are married)
- 2 pictures - 1of the wedding, 1 as a couple
- flight boarding passes/etickets (don't need to send hotel information, just flight tickets)
- any letters/cards you have sent to each other
- copies of whatsapp chat (no more than 2-3 pages in total, covering the entire relationship)

Photocopies (though there's some confusion over whether you only need copies, or whether you should send originals AND copies)

Thank you!

We added the fiance visa refusal explanation

Bank statements cover full 6 months to the day all three!

Wedding certificate duh!!! 

Took out some pics!
Whatsapp is 4 pages covers the whole relationship



Final question, presentation? Should all staples be removed? Should things be in plastic sleeves with dividers? All rubber-banded together or in a binder?

THANK YOUUU!

No binders, no plastic sleeves, no staples (as they have to scan each page).

Just put everything in sensible piles and place in the package. Some people have been printing the barcode separators from the VFS Global website and using them, but there's still some uncertainty as to what they actually want.

I suppose our question now is should we copy everything (plane tickets etc)  onto A4?

The wedding certificate is a real document, we have more than 1 in our possession so this one we don't really care if it comes back or not but should we put it on A4 as well?

Also the photographs should those be copied onto A4?

1. No to hijack the amazing ksand24, but we included original plane tickets into our application.
2. Put it on A4? Is the marriage certificate not printed on an A4 page anyway?
3. The photographs of you both at the beginning of your relationship and your wedding day? These should be printed on proper photo paper
