I have not regularly sent any money since i returned to UK

thanks for any advice
Sorry dashing about today so not had time to remeber what section 5 is.

If i remeber correctly for my wife it had a section to write any more to write.

Which basically said please refer to my wifes cover letter.

She wrote a cover letter with my help, which described why she should have the visa (basically like the sponsors cover letter) that it would be easier for you to be together in the UK due to your commitments in the UK. His family would be ok with out him what skills he would have if he decided to work although you could support him so he did not need recourse to public funds.

For my wife i talked about her English skills how she had taken a course, that she with the help of me had done research on the area she was to live in with me and there was plenty of places where work might be avaiable.

Some people add more there others dont i belive..
