Spouse Visa Help!

We definitely don't want that. I was confirming that what we have is not legit, it sounds like it is  His bank will send us the legit bank statements. We are looking at him coming to visit me now as it's delayed now. So I guess that's a positive thing with the delay

That's a pretty fabulous positive! 

Since we are waiting on one more document (bank account statements from his bank) I'm going through everything to make sure we have no more setbacks and I can send it in as soon as we get those documents. I created a "table of contents" I will put in it this order, let me know if I should switch it around. I'm planning on putting each section in a different folder or let me know if I should do something else. If I am missing something, let me know! Thank you!!

Do not use any folders or anything like that. It only makes Sheffield's job harder. Just place everything in order and gather into one pile. You can use paperclips or string/elastic bands for each section if you like.

Just going to rearrange your documents slightly into the order they need to be presented:

Admin Documents
- Priority receipt (if purchasing
- Return shipping label
- cover/contents letter
- online application
- Appendix 2
- stamped biometrics receipt
- receipt for IHS surcharge
- current passport
- previous passports
- passport photo

Sponsor Documents
- copy of sponsor's passport photo page
- letter of support for the visa

Financial Documents
- payslips (6 full months if using Cat A)
- bank statements (6 full months if using Cat A)
- letter from employer
Optional but recommended:
-   Employment Contract
-   P60

Accommodation Documents
- Tenancy Contract
- Letter from Landlord

Relationship Documents
- marriage certificate
- 1 or 2 photos of you together
- boarding passes/e-tickets from flights
- letters/cards
- no more than 2-3 pages of Facetime/ Video Calls
- no more than 2-3 pages of Facebook Messages
- no more than 2-3 pages of  iMessage/Texts
- no more than 2-3 pages of Whats app texts
- no more than 2-3 pages of Whats app calls
 
Photocopies of everything original you want to be returned to you

Okay that's good to know, I will do that. Thanks for the new order of the documents, I'll be sure to put all of them in that order.

So next steps. We get our last document by Friday or next Tuesday hopefully. (fingers crossed it will be sooner) Then we will be able to send it all out together.

After looking at the online application like 50 times, we think that it looks good. Can I sign it now and book my appointment for my biometrics in the next two or three days? What is your advice on that?

Just working on the timing for everything! thanks -C

Do not submit until you have that last document that you're waiting for!

So I have to wait for it and then go get my appointment done? I can't go do that a few days before?

You should wait until you have all your documents in hand before you submit the online application in case it gets lost on it's way to you.
When you have submitted and paid for the online application, you will be directed to book your biometrics appointment, usually you'll be able to get one within a few days. Once booked, some of our members have tried walking in earlier than their scheduled appointment, it's not guaranteed to work but everyone that has tried it, has managed so far. 

Okay, I will do that. Thanks for the advice. It's just so hard to stay patient, I just want it in the mail now! It needs to be right though. I'll be patient

Good for you!  I know how hard it is but a little extra time spent now can save a lot of heartache (and money!) later on! 

Trying to stay positive?

Also if I only have one page of whats app calls. (we didn't use it that much) should I not include it? or is one page okay?

We have all of our documents and we are ready to submit!!!

Unfortunately, I can't get an appointment for my biometrics until WEDNESDAY! I am almost tempted to go in tomorrow or monday and see if they can take me. Do you think I should?! I really can't wait that long to do it

As long as you have an appointment, you can try walking in earlier. Everyone who has tried that so far has been successful.

Okay, I'm going to try tomorrow. EEK. Wish me luck!!

Thank you!

Also, quick question. How will they know its priority? Is that through UPS/Fed Ex etc?
