document copies ???

[andypaul]

just relax.... just provide what the UKVAKS asked from you...
no need to certified it all...yes you need to provide the original and one photocopy of each. as for your passport and birth certificate photocopy will do. yes as for your fiance passport you have to.

better provide the other stuff too as eveidence of you communication as long as you met her no worries. as for me i provide other documents although they dont asked for it... better to give them everything...
i applied my fiance visa sept. 29 then got it oct 5 so fast no interview...amazing.

i also provide my PRC id, SSS ID, NBI cert, documents from my employer, CFO certificate, my tor and diploma.

good luck....

Good point about putting any diplomas, qualfications or documents from employers as part of the evidence.

As one thing that may help the application is showing that the applicant will have qualfications/experience that will help find employment in the UK.

My Wife showed she had an Ilets qualfications which showed her english skills were of the level required of nurses and others when entering the UK on work visas.

If you are trained as a teacher or another skilled profession it will show that you have vauable skills which are required in the UK.

We provided orignals of wage slips,bills, and evidence of accomdation etc with copies (not certified) in two sets clearly marked orignals and copies. They will keep the copies and send back the orignals, so make sure you have a duplicate of any important documents both in the evidence folder and with your self in case they get mislayed.

Your Passport unless you send it in with the application will need to be copied (every page is best), your advised to have the passport certified by say your local solictor posts on here have said prices vary from a box of biscuits to 20 pounds.
Many inculding us did not get the pages certified and had no problems but i was lucky enough to be in phill when the application was made so could have taken it along to show if required by the embassy.

Again some people have just copied the importnat pages of the passport and got away with it, others just copied all the pages inculding the blank pages and others have got the pages stamped to say they have been certified as true. Its your choice, but if we had to do it again i would ensure all pages were copied and certified just to ensure the ECo has no reasons to doubt anything.

From reading over the years various peoples application stories, it is noticeable those who have taken care to provide all possible evidence in a nicely clearly layed out order seem to have had less problems.

I'm sure the ECO's or the support staff will only be glancing though them from what i remeber we had contained a a5 sizechecklist send back with the passport and orignals, which had the various types of evidence they needed to see for the various visas avaiable. Which i have written about in the past on here and thought it funny as it had been photocopied on a bit of a page with the requirments for an amercain visa on the rear side!!
