Sponsor info:
-His passport
-Letter of support for the visa
You also need a passport photo of him as well, with his name on the back.
Financial info:
-PAYE (April 2014)
-6 months bank statements. [we have 5 months of originals but can't find one month, have a stamped printout copy from the bank. Will that be okay?]
I'm assuming you mean his P60 from April 2014?
Yes, the bank statements should be fine (if it's been printed by the bank, it doesn't actually need to be stamped... it's only online statements you have printed at home that need to be stamped and signed, to prove they haven't been forged).
Relationship info:
-Tickets from international visits (2012-2013)
-3 photos together (could be more if needed, but we're figuring one from shortly after we met 3 years ago, one from travelling together about 1.5 years ago, one from the registry office wedding)
-Pre-marital education certificate (we completed a course together)
-Marriage certificate (have already confirmed with the registry office we'd like an extra one on friday)
You only really need the marriage certificate and 1-2 photos, but as you are applying in person, there's no harm in taking it all and seeing if they ask for it.
QUESTION:
I'm terribly confused about all the proof of address requirements. The new FLR(M) form asks for them, does it apply to us? I have sufficient mail to me, but not for my partner, so I'm really quite worried about that one. He didn't change his bank address until the last couple of months to our address instead of his parents (who live quite close by and whom he was living with whilst I was in the USA). His NHS letters go there because he requires medication deliveries and has had the same delivery schedule since he was quite young, so it's easier to have them deliver to his parents, and have his parents drop things off with us later, as they're home more than us.
I believe it does apply to all FLR(M) applications now, although your tenancy agreements should count for two of the documents.
You do need to show proof that you both live at the same address as each other. It seems a bit silly if you are on a fiance visa, because you won't have been living together for long.
Is there anything at all that he receives in the post to your address?
I would take everything you possible can to the appointment... If you can't provide the required 6 documents in each name, you should explain why not.
Otherwise, are things looking okay? Thanks again for all the help you all have provided!
Yep, they look good to me.
You just need to add a passport photo of him and scrounge up as many documents in his name, sent to your address, as you can find (even if they aren't on the list of suitable documents, I would take them anyway).
