Also, can i just include the housing report as i paid for it xD. We had too many photos, were removing most of them. just wondering if our checklist was including everything really? Should i add biometrics confirmation under the applicant documents too?
Yes, add the biometrics confirmation... The applicant will print it after submitting the application, then take it to the biometrics appointment where it will be scanned, and then the applicant includes the form with the rest of the application documents.
As I said, without having all of your situation in front of me, I can't be certain you have
everything, but you need to satisfy:
Financial Requirement:
- payslips
- bank statements
- letter from employer
- optional contract
- option most recent P60
Relationship:
- 1 or 2 photos of just the applicant and sponsor together to prove they have met in person at least once
- marriage certificate if married and applying for a spouse visa, proof of intention to get married if applying for a fiancee visa
- divorce decrees from prior marriages, if there are any
- evidence of how the couple has kept in contact while separated, and proof of co-habitation while living together, spanning the duration of the relationship
Adequate accommodation in the UK:
- either Land Registry document or a tenancy agreement
- if renting and the applicant isn't on the lease, a letter from the landlord saying the applicant can live there.
- if living with relatives/friends, proof of their home ownership or tenancy agreement and letter(s) saying the applicant can live there and that the home won't be overcrowded.
Plus all of the application documents and receipts.
