UK Spouse Visa

[marty175]

Hi guys, looking for some advice please. So currently we are applying for our spouse visa through www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk. I also think we print and complete APPENDIX 2 (VAF 4A DECEMBER 2013) FINANCIAL REQUIREMENT FORM and bring this to our appointment right?

Do we also have to complete PERSONAL DETAILS FORM (VAF4A DECEMBER 2013) FAMILY SETTLEMENT APPLICATION FORM and bring this to our appointment?

btw www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk is super buggy at the moment and very frustrating ^^

Cheers all

Yes, the sponsor (you?) completes the financial appendix and the applicant takes it to the appointment along with the specified financial evidence from the sponsor.

Complete VAF4A online, and when you've finished print it. The applicant signs the printed form and takes it to the appointment along with all the other supporting documents.

Guys,

Please could I offer some input here and also request some advice as this does seem to be rather confusing? I have just completed the on-line spouse visa application through www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk. as this is now a mandatory requirement in Thailand, and there is no mention during the process that the form is VAF4A at all. The option to select VAF4A does not exist and you are forced to select Settlement - Settlement - Wife, which appears to be the only form applicable to the UK Spouse Visa application. I have tried to get confirmation on this, but can find no other mention anywhere. I sincerely hope this is the right form as I have submitted and paid for it now, and completing it was an excruciating test of endurance anyway due to its numerous bugs, which made it a totally miserable experience. The completed printed document which is a .pdf file contains further errors, as the applicants details inherit the sponsors contact telephone numbers during file conversion from the on line form to the final .pdf! It is shockingly poor really considering its importance and if anyone could advise me if I can amend the errors on the printed form I now have, without incurring any penalty or problems with staff at the VFS when the submission is made, I would be more than grateful.

Finally, the first mention I have heard of 'APPENDIX 2 (VAF 4A DECEMBER 2013) FINANCIAL REQUIREMENT FORM' is when reading the above posts tonight, which is a quite a shock. I was convinced I had everything in place as I had followed the route on the UKBA website to the on-line application, but I obviously missed something vital. I have also added an update regarding my application under my original post on UK Spouse Visa Questions. I was aiming to get this done by the middle of November, but my wife fell ill and was hospitalised which has delayed everything by about 6 weeks!

Any advice is greatly appreciated as always. Thank you.

Hi CC rocker. The VAF4A form http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/visas/vaf4a.pdf is the one you completed through the website mentioned. I believe applications used to be made via paper and so the VAF4A was used but now you just complete it online which you have done. And yes it is an annoying process the website it full of bugs.

APPENDIX 2 (VAF 4A DECEMBER 2013) FINANCIAL REQUIREMENT FORM http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/visas/vaf4a2.pdf

This is essential ^ You complete this and print and bring to your meeting in bangkok and submit with everything else.
