Welcome to the forum
.
As larrabee said above, DO NOT submit the online application until you have thoroughly researched the visa requirements, have gathered all the supporting documents, your husband has mailed you all of his supporting documents and your documents package is filled and completely ready to mail to Sheffield.
The documents requirements are pretty strict and if even one document is missing or not in the right format, or is even 1 day short of 6 months, the visa can be refused.
You need to meet 3 main requirements for the visa, and provide the specified documents for each of them:
FinancesFor Category A (he has been with his current employer for at least 6 months and earning at least £18,600 for all of that time), you need:
- 6 full months of ORIGINAL payslips (either printed by the company or accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the company) showing at least £1550 before tax on each on, the latest dated no more than 28 days before the date you submit the online application
- 6 full months of ORIGINAL bank statements (either mailed by the bank, or stamped by the bank on EVERY page/accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the bank) showing the deposit of every payslip, the latest dated no more than 28 days before the date you submit the online application
- a letter from his employer, dated no more than 28 days before the date you submit the online application, stating ALL of the following:
i) current employment and salary
ii) length of employment
iii) length of time earning current salary
iv) type of employment
Optional but recommended as they may ask for them:
- his original job contract
- his latest P60
AccommodationYou need evidence of guaranteed accommodation for you both to live in in the UK. The documents required will depend if your husband rents, owns, or lives with family/friends.
RelationshipYou need to provide:
- original marriage certificate
- 1-2 photos of you together
- boarding passes from trips to see each other
- cards/letters sent to each other
- evidence of regular communication while apart, such as email inbox screenshots, Skype call logs etc.
