Fiance or Spouse Visa - Our journey to marriage

Looks good .

You don't need the receipt for the certified copy of the sponsor's passport (note: you only need the photo/biometrics page of the passport, not the whole thing)

In regards to relationship evidence, will your spouse be providing the evidence of your emails/messages/calls etc.?

thank you

Yeah we have a google doc setup of all the facebook messages, facetime call logs, so she'll print those

Also is there anything specific Nationwide need to add to the bank statements? Just their official stamp and signed?

The guidance states the bank statements must:

(v) be:
(1) on official bank stationery;
or
(2) electronic bank statements which are either accompanied by a letter from the bank on its headed stationery confirming that the documents are authentic or which bear the official stamp of the issuing bank on every page.

The guidance states the bank statements must:

Okay so I got all my printed statements stamped and signed. But in regards to my October statement (11th september - 31st october) They gave me one that does not visual represent my other statements.
She gave me an Account Summary Statement that is stated for internal use only and also stamped to verify its authorisation and then a customer statement with all my transactions up until the 1st November.
The Account Summary Statement indicates my address, account number etc. The customer statement just states my account number, but those are signed by the bank.

Also they are double side printed (part of statement on side, the rest on the back, is okay?

Will this all be okay? Here are examples below:

Account information report:


Account enquiry statement - this feels a little extra thing that may confuse things?


Example of the statement she printed note: double side printed

I was gonna add the bit in bold to my sponsor letter:


I am currently employed full-time at Sensumco Limited as a Platform Manager, and have been employed there since 1st September 2013. My current salary is £28,000 and I have been earning this salary since 1st June 2017. I will therefore be using this salary to meet the financial requirement under Category A and I am including the relevant supporting documents as evidence. Please note: The October statement was printed by Nationwide Building Society and stamped and signed. It is double side printed. The Account Information Report verifies the account and the October statement.

It all looks fine to me, and I would include everything as it is. Not quite sure what you mean about the account enquiry statement confusing things though... but definitely include it.

I don't see any reason to add anything to your sponsor letter. The fact that the October statement is stamped and signed by the bank should be self-explanatory.

Yeah it confused me, but her advice was that since it says at the top "Internal use only" is only used in banks, so would help certify the legitimacy of the statements and also since the statements themselves don't have my address, she advised to do it?

It’s up to you . If you want to add it to the letter, go ahead .

I'm not completely sure, but I can't find anything in the document requirements that states the bank statements must show your address.

It doesn't actually state what regular bank statements must show, other than that they need to be either official, or stamped electronic statements.

However, in the section regarding submitting an alternative document to a bank statement, it says that document must include:
- your name
- account number
- bank name and logo
- required information regarding transactions and funds held

Well the account information report does state:
-Name
-Account Number

The account information report and statements are signed, but the statements just say 'Customer Statement'. So I think the account information report is almost like a cover sheet for those statements that has all that information. It states:
-My account number

It doesn't have an official logo though.

Is it worth going back to them and getting a Letter stating they are all official documents?

If it will ease your mind, then I would see if they can write a letter. You may be fine with what you have, but if you're worried, there's no harm in being cautious.

Yeah it definitely will just with what seems they are so strict on things, i just don't wanna leave anything to chance

Update folks!

The envelope parcel arrived in northern Minnesota (via DHL)  today after 5 days of postage from Belfast. For anyone else considering DHL or shipping to middle America

Visa application and biometrics appointment has been paid for too so it is now to the VFS postage stage!

Those previous moments were very stressful haha!

So we are just a little confused with the new terminology on their on how to pay for the postage and by-pass or get round the 'premium centre' stuff?

1. Should my spouse register with VFS before processing payment?
2. Where do we go to pay for the postage?

1. You have to register with VFS Global in order to pay for priority and shipping labels

2. You purchase postage (the shipping labels) on the VFS Global website.

Basically, you go to the Premium Services section on the VFS Global website and select USA - Application Support Centre. Then you add the $793 priority service and/or shipping labels to your cart. Then when you go to check out it will ask you to register. You’ll need your online application GWF Number in order to register and to purchase the services.
