UK Spouse Visa Document check

[nuakmuaynina]

Hi everyone,

I am getting together everything for my Spouse visa and I just wanted to make sure I’ve got all the documents needed. Appointment is in 2 weeks. We are submitting:

Me:

Colour photo copies of current passport all pages( does this need to be certified?)

Black and White copies of old maiden name passport ( this has a lot of the visa stamps in to prove our relationship)

6 months bank statements

6 month wage slips

Employment contract

Employers letter

Tenancy Agreement

Council Tax Bill ( saying I’m sole occupier)

Photos of property inside and out

Selection of photographs/messages/phone records to prove relationship

Marriage Certificate and translation

Sponsorship undertaking form

Cover letter from me

Him:

Passport

Tabien Baan and translation

Passport Photos

TB Test Cert

English test cert-although I think I just need the electronic number from that..

Does he need a letter or anything from his employer? I would of thought as he is leaving (potentially) it wouldn’t matter…

Is there anything I have left out? Am trying not to over whelm the application with too many documents-that’s already a lot as it is!

Thank you

Nina

I thought that it was a year's worth of bank statements and pay slips. P60 as well.

[PeeJay1959]

6 months if it is with the same employer, P60 so far as I know is optional but worth including so long as it shows over £18,600, otherwise it looks good.

This is what we provided, in separated indexed files, along with copies of everything. Think we went the "overkill" route! 55555. Visa approved without any problems, though, within 30 days, so not too bothered.

No it's not, as another member has said it's six months worth of pay slips with the corresponding bank statements, a P60 isn't an actual requirement as the decision maker can grant the application without it, but it can be submitted if the applicant desires.

[nuakmuaynina]

There is no point submitting my p60 as before February this year I was self employed, and am not submitting my tax return until next January, so it doesn't have all the information.

On the notes of the form it says 6 months if I have been with the same employer, which I have.

What I want to know is does my passport copy have to be certified? Also employers letter for my husband?

You can self certify your passport.

As you're husband is going to settle in the UK a letter from his employer is irrelevant as he will be leaving that employment, I'm assuming you're referring to his job in Thailand.

[nuakmuaynina]

yes that's correct, his job.

Ok great. thanks for your help.

If anyone spots anything I've missed please let me know. I think I've been thorough enough, without being overkill. There is a lot of conflicting information on the web!

Have you read the specified evidence appendix?

Make sure you have everything in there relevant to how you are meeting the financial requirement.

BTW, the sponsorship undertaking form (SU07) is not normally required for this type of visa; ECB12.3 Sponsor undertakings on maintenance and accommodation.

As with undertakings from an applicant (see above), the ECO should only require an undertaking from a sponsor in exceptional circumstances or for certain categories eg parents, grandparents and other dependent relatives under Rule 317 of the Immigration Rules. (see Maintenance & Accommodation - MAA)

But if you've already completed it you may as well include it.

Excuse me for sounding dumb but if a P60 is not obligatory and only 6 months pay slips and statements are used then how do you verify that you are exceeding £18600 pa.

I take it they are trusting on the letter from the employer. Which begs the question why does a self employed person have to supply a years worth, if say they are exceeding £50k pa. Does it matter whether this is over a year or 6 months? It seems that an employed person is trusted more than a self employed person.

I have no idea why being self employed makes things more difficult. The reason I got a contracted job, was in case I needed to make an application for my husband for a visa- we were planning to settle in Thailand but circumstances changed, as I did not want the hassle of all the documents and extra evidence ( not to mention expense).
