Sponsorship Letters

[scuba888]

Hi Guys,

I am new to this forum, My fiance will be applying for her visa in a few weeks time, we seem to have all the relevant paperwork but I need some advice on how to write a sponsorship letter. Do you guys have any pointers as to what to include, what not to include, any example letters I can use or refer to?

Thanks in advance

Hello scuba888 & Philip,
Basing in my husband's sponsorship letter which i sent together w/ the rest of the documents needed for my visa application, it's just a simple letter stating how our relationship started, the happenings during his visits in Philippines, our ways of communication to each other & telling the embassy how he loves me & willing to support & take good care of me for the rest of his life... that's quite simple guys. I hope this tip could help you both! Goodluck!

Write an informative letter telling that you want your partner to join you to be in the UK with main details requesting that she'll be with you, then make a cover letter that basically tells them how you met fell in love the ways you kept in contact places youve been together etc.. basicly your love story.

you are spot on..........

[andypaul]

All of the subjects and also your chance to answer any questions or satisfy any doubts the eco might have with the application.
i wrote a couple of pages as a genral cover letter, with an extra two pages on our finances and made a little brochure which showed our flat all the measurments. To prove along with deeds the accomdation satisfactory.

Its your chance to avoid an interview or a denial.

This letter if you are like me will take a few weeks to create, edit and fully proof read.

A letter of this type is said to increase the chances of entry clearance being granted...also offering to be interviewed if reaquired during the settlement interview is a good sign..even if you are not asked to do so.
