to apply spouse visa

[Bluebirdjones]

Sorry, am new to this site, so more than likely this question has been raised / replied to before , but .....
We're in the process of gathering the various doucuments to get my girlfriend a fiance visa, so

1. My house ..... obviously the Building Society hold the deeds, so do I need a copy, or will an annual statement from tthe Building Society be sufficient.

2. I need to send a six-monthly bank account statement. I'm also (obviously) sending a photocopy of my passport. These two together are a fraudster's dream. Therefore, are u allowed to "blank" out the actual account number / sort code, but obviously leave my name ?

Thks in advance..... and I'm sure I'll have more questions over the coming days.

for the info VBKELLY... yes, I'm aware of all this, but it's the answer to No.2 I'm really looking for.

I'm sure others on here have had the same thoughts, the same concerns ... so am I allowed to "blank" out the actual account number(s) of my bank accounts ????

BluebirdJones - I think you can block out the account numbers. Others have mentioned doing this.

Are you a City fan? Just BluebirdJones seems a familiar name in the fanzine world.

[Bluebirdjones]

Yes, I'm a dedicated City fan.

Yes, I worked on the fanzine in the early days.... added a few articles, proof-read it, sold it at away games etc etc.... but Mike Slocombe is/was the main man.

Appreciate the info re:bank account numbers.
(I'm obviously assuming that this info is not "shared" with other Govt depts ?... the less they know about me & my financial "arrangements" the better !)

and i thought you was worried about ID theft

i didn't think a UK bank would tell or confirm anything with The embassy, because of the data protection act, but i know in other countries the British embassy can contact a bank and ask about the account and transactions

and what you worried about, got something to hide

Quite right....

Isn't being a city supporter a thing to hide from everyone...???
