Okay..so my fiance and I just applied for our visa last week and are still waiting on the outcome...however, I am providing a list of all of the documents that we included.....
did we go overboard? absolutely! We know that it was a lot but we would rather provide too much documentation than not enough..Hopefully, this list will give you some ideas--take it or leave it! Also, my fiance is on benefits for his disability--so, those sections may or may not apply--we put each section in a folder and put it in a brown holder/folder with labels! Hope this helps/gives you some ideas and GOOD LUCK!
