Fiancée Visa Application – Cover Letter Example

[KeithD]

When you apply for a Fiancée Visa you need to include a very detailed cover letter, you cannot supply too much information in this letter, but when it comes to the additional documents do not supply endless pages of chat. The letter should contain at least 500 words. These are additional documents that the official form does not request but will help your application.

Answer the following questions, not necessarily in order, and write the answer from the heart, not as though it is a test!

· Describe the history of your relationship going back to the first time you knew of each other, and supply proof of this if possible (screen prints/logs).

· Mention details of your courtship? IE. How many times you contact each other, etc..

· How did you come into first contact with your fiancée?

· Describe the nature of relationship?

· Why did you pick your fiancée?

· What attributes, features do you find most attractive in this person?

· Explain you current employment/salary/savings.

· Mention your education.

· Mention your family, what they do, finances. IE. Houses owned. Who works, etc.

· What are your plans for the future with your fiancée?

· What are your plans for the wedding ceremony/ honeymoon?

· What are your plans for living together?

· Where do you plan to live when you are married? – Kind of house, where, buy/rent location and so on. It is usually good to supply a letter from the landlord saying it is OK.

· What do you expect to happen within the first year of marriage?

· What do you expect to happen after a few years of marriage?

· After marriage, do you have plans about work?

· Are you planning a family?

· Do you have plans for vacations together?

· What plans do you have for social, hobbies, educational interests?


Then in addition to this letter, provide supporting documents, such as:

Photos of the couple together – About 10-20 is enough. Photos in front of recognisable landmarks in the Philippines are best.
Travel Itineraries of visits.
Passport Visa Stamps from the UK resident. You can have copies stamped by a solicitor if you wish to give them authenticity.
Telephone Bills. These can be landline, mobile, Skype, etc.
Copies of Emails/Letters/IM's/FB.... Logs Only, although you can include a couple of chats, although you do not need to supply the actual chat, and not all logs if you have loads, just samples from each month.
Flight/Hotel Receipts
Engagement Ring Receipt/Pictures

..... Anything else you can think of that may help.

The objective is to fully dispel any doubt that the reviewer may have that the relationship is genuine. Once convinced that the relationship is real, the petition should move along smoothly.

You can also use this as a guide for a Spouse Visa, and sponsors letter.
