Good morning house
Please another question, do we need to submit my husband's employment details? Since I am the sponsor

We filled the part about his employment

TravelRe: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by Kenttoday: 6:15pm On Feb 18, 2019
Thank you so much for the response

Yes it has been submitted.
So just a cover letter will do ..? As we cant recover the refusal letters

Lexusgs430:
I am taking the position that online form is already submitted.....


Simply include a letter in your document package(submissions to Sheffield), explaining oversight.......

Ensure with all your other documents, every i is dotted and t's crossed........

Good morning gurus in the house

Please I need your advise

So while filling the form, we put the latest USA refusal details to the form but forgot to add an earlier refusal usa detail too... Please how best can we go about this?

Biometric hasn't been done yet neither have we submitted supporting documents
TravelRe: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by Kenttoday: 4:42pm On Feb 18, 2019
Hubby applied through some agent while back and he doesn't have email correspondence

Mrschubby:
Sorry about your refusal. I really don’t knw how those things work but did they send you any email for the refusal or is there any other proof?
TravelRe: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by Kenttoday: 2:34pm On Feb 18, 2019
Thank you so much.

We lost the refusal letters

Mrschubby:
You can explain it in ur covering letter and send the refusal letter as well.

Similar names but not exactly are Uduakobong/Uduakabasi which means God's will, which is similar to God's desire. Then Ewongobong/Ewongoabasi meaning God's promise smiley

Thank you. This link is so helpful

evenda:
yes i think it should.. i am using this website to calculate mine .. it is helpful to calculate the 28days rule.

I haven't applied yet, but it does state in the requirement list to have a letter from employer... mine was from HR stating my employment details, salary and start date

TravelRe: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by Kenttoday: 3:22pm On Feb 13, 2019
Good afternoon all

I have another question please...

The 28 day rule, please can you advise..
My last payslip was paid on the 25 jan and say I planto apply on Friday the 15th, is this stil within?

Also, my payslips are on company letterhead, do I still need letter from employer to validate


Thanks in advance
TravelRe: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by Kenttoday: 3:20pm On Feb 13, 2019
I really appreciate this ... thanks so much.

Hi,...better safe than sorry, I would advise you fill the SU07 form and submit it with your application as submitting it will not affect your application negatively if at the end of the day there is no need for it. But if it is the other way round, then there could be a problem.. I submitted this with my husband's application and so did my brother in law and the form was not sent back with the other documents. I have attached the link to the form below.

Thank you so much

justwise:
I don't see the need to add those in bold.

1.Regarding accommodation all you need is tenancy agreement and letter from the landlord/letting agency that the accommodation is suitable for a couple.

2. I don't know the purpose of letters from friends and families.

3. Wedding website is not needed.

4. Priority receipt for application is not needed but you need to write priority on the envelop containing the documents, priority applications are sent with a different bag at the visa centre

In addition to what justwise stated, sponsorship undertaking form isn't necessary for spouse settlement Visa. It is only needed for settlement of adult dependent relatives.

TravelRe: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by Kenttoday: 1:02pm On Feb 01, 2019
Happy New month all.
I am here again with questions

Please regarding the accommodation requirements, I need advise
I currently stay with parent in a two bedroom house with two living rooms

I have my own room. My brother who is not living with us is on the property name as shared owner. Same house is being occupied by two young children under 10 years old and another adult over 10 years.

Will this be regarded as over crowding please?

Another option is to use another relative house who has 4 bedrooms, 1 living room which is open space to the kitchen. This house accommodates 1 couple and one daughter and two sons that are over 10 years. Will this be okay to use?

Property inspection report, not required........

NB : But, can I be a fly on the wall, when hubby arrives?
TravelRe: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by Kenttoday: 2:50am On Jan 12, 2019
Myself and hubby in either a studio or 1 bedroom flat

Lexusgs430:
How many occupants?... huh
TravelRe: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by Kenttoday: 2:34am On Jan 12, 2019
Thanks so much for the quick response.

Do I also need the property inspection form

Lexusgs430:
I don't think a minimum accommodation length is required, it partains to length of employment........

So in essence, your accommodation requirements would be meet with your new address, but all other submitted documentations, has your parents address listed........

Just ensure you submit a tenancy agreement, letter from landlord etc............

I believe you are good to go, regarding this issues raised..... Ensure you tick all other boxes on all other aspects.........
TravelRe: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by Kenttoday: 1:43am On Jan 12, 2019
Thanks for the quick reply, I am so grateful.

I am planning to move before applying to meet the accommodation requirements, so possibly a week or so before putting in the application.

Lexusgs430:
We have known past applicants submit via priority, despite been refused by the UK and USA previously...... If you want to confirm, read through thread.......


Are you saying by the time you submit your application (having your old address), you intend to move to a new address afterwards?..... huh
TravelRe: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by Kenttoday: 7:32pm On Jan 11, 2019
Good evening
Please I need some advise.
We are preparing to submit the spouse visa my husband and we wanted to use priority. Can we still use priority if he has been refused usa visa previously?

Also, my bank statements and payslips has my current address (living with parents) but will be moving to a studio or 1 bedroom flat. Does it matter if an old address is on it please?
