Tony.. I reckon your answer was so good you should think about starting a UK-Phil consultancy..
This time next year Tone,we`ll be millionaires..
Hi welcome to the forum...
Here are some list that might help you.
- Search for the application form ( Settlement form VAF4 Oct 2007) You can find this on the UK Border Agency website and print that off. You might need to photocopy the application form for you to practice and not make mistakes on the actual form that you are going to submit. Its best to have written all the information so the embassy could see that you are capable of writing.
- CFO certificates of attendance. I was told you need to staple that on your passport together with the sticker all the time when you have your visa. Because even if you have the visa and you havent got these certifiactes and sticker the immigration at the airport will not let you go. Tough
- Old passports if you have any
- Evidence of adequate accommodation ( You need to give the description of the house, photos, how many lives there, proof of agreement, etc)
- Copy of husband's passport including the pages with stamps. Need to be atested by a consul or a solicitor.
- Husband's bankstatements from the last 6 months
- Husband's payslips from the last 6 months
- Husband's employment certificate from the employer/company he works with
- P60
- Proof of financial support
- Proof of communication like emails, phone bills, love letters and cards, your wedding photos, receipts, etc
- Wife's NSO Birthcertificate
- NSO Marriage Certificate
- Husband's birthcertificate if you can provide
- Annullment/ Divorce papers relating to any previous marriages
- Letter of support from husband (you can ask for help from the forum on what to put on it)
- Wife's certificates or diplomas to show the level of education.
- JOb offer if theres any
Im sure our friends here in the forum will provide the rest of the information you will need.
Dont know about the process as im just about to apply for a spouse visa soon. They said it takes about 4 to 6 weeks.
Goodluck!
I'm a cruel and heartless bitch but I’m damn good at it!

This time next year Tone,we`ll be millionaires..
I'm a cruel and heartless bitch but I’m damn good at it!

I reckon your answer was so good you should think about starting a UK-Phil consultancy..
This time next year Tone,we`ll be millionaires.., it was my suitcase that i had the dried fish in
they will require you to show the original payslips, bank statements except for his passport. Full copy and atested by a consul or a solicitor.
They will send you back the originals apart from your birthcertificates and marriage contract.
I'm a cruel and heartless bitch but I’m damn good at it!
what if my husband telephone bills are paperless?so we can only download them and print out them out,will this do? what if my husband went to the solicitor can they not look at his wage slips and provide a letter to say that these are true copy of there?
what its means LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM HUSBAND?
Your husband will be required to act as your Sponsor. Accordingly, his Letter SHOULD, in effect, be a declaration that he will provide adequately-suitable living accommodation and ... equally important ... support you financially in the UK - without recourse to Public Funds, i.e., Government Benefits.
Good Luck with your application ... andto the forum.
also say a little aqbout how you met and since then what you ahev been doing to help and support each other over the period of time , what she means to you and what you mean to her , you can never say to much about love and romance in this letter but also pratical things like arthur has mentioned too, if you are stuck i have a copy of mine just read that and see if that helps you
hello! i really thankful cause it really could help us some replies u give us,could u give us the copy so that we can read it i think it could help us.
give me your email address machanic i will send you a copy
steve can i have a copy also, i havnt a clue whhat to write, if i see your letter it will guide my down the right path
we applied 3 years ago
things might have changed but there are 3 main things you must prove
1:relationships is genuine (photos, flight tickets etc)
2 :you can 100% support your asawa without recourse to public funds (statements/payslips etc)
3:the accomadation is adequate for both of you/children (stop people bring wife + 6 children and living in 1 room bedsit) example you need an extra room for your privacy not bedroom or kitchen and kids need some where to play

can anybody advise mw about my phone bills, they are ticketless so therefore only available online to print out,will this be accepted for the spouse visa?
i dont know if your phone bills will be ok
many companies offer paperless billing and it saves you a few quid.
but you need original statements/bills (bank,gas,water and electricity etc) in joint names mr&mrs in the future for ILR
so i avoided paperless billing
Hello again,gud evening to all here.could anyone help me to answer my question.do i need to get the copy of my stamped pages of my passport by solicitor to say that its genuine copy and original?

thanks stevewool my hubby got it already,its could help us.
im hoping so soon i could submit my application once my documents complete already,i need to wait of documents from my hubby.
There is no need to do that. Me and my asawa got confused about that before so i rang up the British Embassy in Manila to find out and we were told that its not really necessary. Besides they only follow whats on the guidance list. Just a full copy of the sponsor's passport including the pages with stamps on it.
I'm a cruel and heartless bitch but I’m damn good at it!
