Hi everyone
We would like to send our congratulations to everyone who got their visas granted recently.
We submitted our fiancée application last Dec. 22, 2008 and just yesterday (Feb. 18, 2009) about 3:30pm, we received a txt from vfs saying, “processed passport returned through courier”. Then today (Feb.19, 2009) around 1:30 pm the courier service came, and we opened the package and we got the visa
We think we wouldn’t have had this success if it weren’t for this forum, so thanks to all the help from everyone
We agreed as well to post the list of documents we’ve submitted to help others who’s under the process of their application
Our weak area was our financial section. On the first bank statement we had an overdraft of -£1800 but had moved this to a final balance of £1100. It worked out as an average about £420 excess money per month over the period of the bank statements. With this we were open about the reasons behind the overdraft and told the honest truth.
This is for anyone who has applied or is about to apply for a visa, an overdraft does not mean a failure and as long as you are honest and are showing positive signs then it is possible to be granted.
So here’s our list of documents:
