Hey, everyone! After much strong-arming of a variety of people (property management, past employers, current employers, etc), my husband and I are about to submit my spousal visa application. I'm going to post our FINAL checklist, which I've gone over at least 10 times, but definitely could always use another set of eyes!!
Applicant Docs:
Stamped Biometrics receipt
Visa receipt
Printed online application
Passport and photos
IHS receipt
Return shipping label
Appendix 2
Sponsor Documents:
Cover letter
Copy of passport (certified by the post office)
Financial Requirements:
Offer letter from current job
Contract from current job
Employment letter from current job
Bank statements from past year (stamped, dated)
Pay slips from past job (stamped, signed)
Pay slips from current job (stamped, signed)
Accommodation Requirements:
Tenancy agreement
Letter from property management company
Relationship Evidence:
Cover letter from applicant
Marriage certificate
Annotated Photos (3x of just my spouse and I)
iMessages
Flight receipts
Letters/Postage
And now, for my last minute questions:
What's the deal with the return shipping label that's needed? Do I purchase all of that stuff at my biometrics appointment or beforehand?
Should I highlight the dates in the iMessages I printed to make it more apparent? Do I need to write anything else below the screen captures (i.e. the date)?
The man at Rite Aid didn't know what millimeters were and the passport photos came out a bit... wonky. They are rectangles as per the measurement requirements, but his cutting skills were sub-par. Will this be a problem? Do they need to be absolutely perfect?
Cheers to you all for your help!! I absolutely cannot wait to get over to the UK with my husband and maybe meet some of you great people there as well!
