teejay231: The only documents you need for accommodation proof during a spouse visa application are letter from landlord/tenancy agreement and property inspection letter if shared housing or land registry documents if it's a personal property. Utility bills and council tax letters are only required in the next stage FLR and final ILR as proof of cohabitation. If you want to include you can go ahead but not relevant. Teejay231 pls I'm confused.. my wife lives alone with our 3 year old daughter in a council owen property... she pays rent and all bills... not on any kind of benefit. So my question is will she need a property inspection letter for our application or the tenancy agreement, rent statement and council tax bill will do. Thanks for your time |

Lexusgs430: She can attempt to get a letter from her housing officer, consenting to your stay (they don't always issue it). She can still try though...........
She should submit her council rental agreement + council tax bill + rental statement......... Thank you so much I will work on this. |
Travel › Re: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by Phoenix77: 10:55pm On Nov 23, 2017 |
Lexusgs430: Is she a direct council tenant or subletting? Does she reside alone?
She would surely require the tenancy agreement... She is a direct council tenant... pays rent and no housing benefits. |

deebaby05: God is good ooo and thanks @justwise for this forum and to the wonderful people of this house. Our Visa has been issued. Still waiting for 2 for my daughter's but I believe it will be issued also. Though I had submitted my application b4 I got this thread, I was able to use lots of advices. Like 3 weeks or so ago, I had to tell hubby to get his co tenant to write a letter that he's aware of our relocation and is ok with it and that the accommodation will not be overcrowded.
Timeline Biometrics 31st August 2017 Parcel to Sheffield delivered 8th Sept 2017 Sheffield mail 10th Sept 2017 Tls mail for decision and pick up 22nd November 2017(59th day) Visa actually issued 17th November 2017 but valid from 24th November to 24th December 2017

knwuna: Greetings all, Please i need your advice on the below:
I got married to my wife who happens to live and work in UK..She has her bristish passport too. she is currently making plans for me to join her in UK but the issue now is that she is heavily pregnant and we cannot meet up with the travel requirement that she has to earn £18,600 per year. I have no idea with the traveling things. Please i need your advice on what to do please or best way to go about it..please. NOTE: She earns less than £18,600 per year. she has rented her apartment. What should we do..pls Congrats on the baby.... I was in the same shoe, as wife had to stop work while she was pregnant. We had no choice but to wait till she delivered, nursed the baby, get back to work for 6 months and now putting in the application. But if your wife does not earn up to £18,600 annually even before the pregnancy, you guys need to wait until she gets a job that meets that threshold, work for 6 months with the same employer, have a condusive accommodation for you guys and have well over #1m in savings to process your visa and run your application. I'm sorry, that looks harsh but there is no other way around it except she or you has an amount in savings combined with her annual income to meet up the threshold that you guys can defend. Then your application is good to go��. |

Mamalicious: Hi phoenix77,
Its better you go tru britsh council site. Once u register and choose the required exam and date. It wuld bring out a center for you. Rem u av to do a bank draft for payment. A week to ur test date u wuld recieve an email with ur exam location and time as well. Gd luck Rem its A1 life skills test. Just speaking n listening. Very easy test which wuld nt last for 20 mins. Thanks but I'm on the British Council site now and I need to know if I'm to select the academic module or the general training module as it does not display the life skills options please which do I go for. And secondly does it have to be taken with the British council as the dates being offered won't meet up with my application and set it back by weeks. Pls From the people who have had this experience and taken the test in Lagos. Are there any approved study center anyone knows off and that was accepted by the embassy. This test thing is really stalling my application. Thanks |

Lamakinde: Remember to chose settlement - Husband or Wife Actually we all learnt through reading up because of different circumstances relating to each applicant. For starters as the applicant, you will need your sponsor to be earning £18600/annum if you are without child or if your child is a British citizen. With a child it increases to £22,400 and additional £2400 for subsequent child. Docs from Sponsor and needed by Applicant P60 of that year Six months account statement Payslips Letter from the employer on letter head signed stating the year of employment, Remuneration Utility bills e.g.Council tax, energy Letter from Landlord/Receipts of payment stating he/she is domiciled at the residence and permitted to live with the spouse. Communication Proof (Phone records from service provider , WhatsApp conversations, Facebook chats, IMO e.t.c. Original Marriage certificate (Not Nigerian local govt) Federal Marriage Registry or UK recognised. English language Proficiency (Either IELTS life skills A or if you have a UK degree or You can process a UK NARIC assessment of your Nigerian Degree taught in English) Original Tuberculosis Test (You can do this at IOM i.e. International Organisation for Migration) Lots of pictures at every meeting point, marriage pictures etc. Copies of visas stamp for all travelling to meet. Letter from Applicants employer if employed Bank statement( just to show you have a life) All docs is original. Lest I forget, docs from self employed sponsor differs a little. Thank you so much... I will get on to getting my support in docs ready |

Aphrodite007: That is easier for me. Ask as many questions. He members here would pick anyone they can answer and answer it for you. But to start from the beginning and advice what to do is just quite complicated.
Google VAF Appendix 2 and fill the form. When you’re done, then go here, https://www.gov.uk/apply-uk-visa scroll to then end and create an account. Then log into your account and fill it. When I’m back at work, I will copy and paste my list of supporting documents, so that you can make yours similar.
Also you need to get a sponsor letter/introduction letter where your sponsor will explain how you met and how they have been visiting you.
Gather up some photos of both of you Cos you need them. Gather up a few of your chats on WhatsApp, bbm, whatever and wherever App you chat on- (I munched a few of mine at least 4 screen shots per month, I munched my whatsapp call log too as proof, then packed plenty kissy photos and my wedding photos for them).
At the moment, my hubby is trying to get a letter from his office stating his salary and how long he has worked for them, then he will also try and get a document from his agency about the house. He has all his payslips and would get his statement of account few days before sending the documents to Sheffield.
Just ask questions when you’re confused. Thanks so much I really appreciate I will get on with this now and ask questions later and do I need to take d English test? So I can get that out of the way before the application is ready.. or what do u suggest. |
