I just thought I'd give you my thoughts on your questions.
I went through the process over Christmas with my Thai gf and had no issues with the application and the Visa was granted.
Your situation mirrors mine!
It sounds like you pretty much have everything covered.
I haven't read the previous replies, so apologies if I repeat the same info.
As well as the documents you've listed, I also included letters from my employer and my gf's employer that confirmed we work for them and also which dates we'll be returning to work on. These were certified by the companies.
The bank statements I provided were not certified by the bank.
I also submitted a brief itinerary of what we planned to do, along with estimated costs. In my sponsor letter, I explained that I would be covering all costs of our activities.
Ask your mum to send you a letter of invitation to stay at the house (you are staying there, right?) and detail that there will be no charge for accommodation (if this is the case).
Do you currently rent your home here or have a mortgage in her name? Either way, it's worth submitting proof of this too, as it only strengthens the fact that you live together and need to return here.
I didn't submit any photo evidence whatsoever. I had no issues with the Visa being granted, as we demonstrated that we will be returning after a couple of weeks. As long as you do the same, and it sounds like you have, I don't think you'll have a problem.
Good luck! It's still a little nerve racking in that waiting period!
