Please could someone tell me if this is ok for my letter of support as a sponsor for the visa?
To the Entry Clearance Officer,
Re: Fiance visa application for [his name] [his d/o/b]
I am writing to confirm my support of [his name]’s application to enter the UK as a fiancé of a British citizen. I am a British citizen and reside and work in the UK. I have been engaged to [his name] since early February 2018, and we intend to marry at [Location] on 30 June 2018.
I am currently employed through [my employer and position] and have been employed here since September 2016. I work a contracted minimum of 36 hours per week with an hourly wage of £13:46 (previously £12:93). My salary is therefore varied but I have at all times in the last 6 months earned a total gross salary per annum of at least £24,000.
I currently reside at [my address], where I have been privately renting from [my landlord] since September 2017.
Neither [his name] nor myself have been married previously, nor do we have any dependents.
Our relationship began in August 2013, when we met while travelling in China. We have been in a relationship continuously since that time, keeping in touch daily and visiting each other’s respective countries at least once every few months. During my time as a student I was also able to stay with [his name] for three months every summer. We have spent quality time with each other’s families in Mexico and the UK, for example during Christmas holidays, and have also spent time with each other’s friends. In order to ensure that we wanted to get married, [his name] left his job in Canada to live with me in London for 6 months (as a tourist) in August 2017. At the end of this period we decided that we wanted to be married and became engaged. Our decision to be married and reside in the UK is due to my chosen career path of becoming a solicitor in the UK, and the relative transferability of [his name]’s skill set as a [his job].
In support of [his name]’s application, we have enclosed the following documents:
1. Evidence of my identity: Certified copy of my UK passport.
2. Evidence of [his name]’s identity: His US passport, his Mexican passport, and a document certifying the fact that he changed his name in 2015. We have not included his previous Mexican passport as it was lost during a move. He does not have a previous US passport.
3. Evidence that I fulfil the financial requirements of a sponsor: 6 months’ stamped bank statements for my current and savings account, 6 months’ weekly pay slips from my employer, and a letter from my employer confirming my employment and salary.
4. Evidence of adequate accommodation: My tenancy agreement, a letter from my landlord, and a recent utility bill.
5. Evidence of our relationship: Flight itineraries for some of our travels together and visits to each other, chronologically ordered photos of us travelling and with our families together.
6. Evidence of our intention to be married: Receipt of registry office booking with [Registry Office] for 30 June 2018, emails with potential venues for our reception, and emails confirming the booking of a wedding photographer.
We hugely appreciate your consideration of our application, and trust that we have provided the necessary evidence for your approval.
Yours faithfully,
[My name]
