Hello Ann,
Good Morning! I actually applied for a family visit visa since I'm already married to my British national husband. I should have applied for a settlement visa but visiting and spending more time with my hubby will make our settlement application more powerful. Plus, I have lots of things to sort out before settling down in the UK
You are applying as a general visitor? But you are engaged right? Why don't you apply for a fiancee visa? As far as I know, UKBA is really strict when it comes to general visit visa... You have to show them enough financial evidence from you and your sponsor, UKBA needs to see that your visit/trip will be funded accordingly & you won't recourse to public funds.
To answer your question on what documents did we submitted, here it is:
-Your sponsor's passport biodata and Birth certificate
-My hubby's personal bank statements
-My hubby's business account statements
-Our savings acct statements
-Payslips from the company I'm working for
-My school credentials and Previous work COE's
-Our Tax Returns
-Evidence of income from property or land (from both of us)
-Airlines Itinerary / travel agent bookings
-Pictures and Evidence of our genuine relationship
-Evidence of how your trip is to be funded
-Marriage Cert and Birth Cert
-Letter of sponsorship
-Cover Letter (from me)
-Tenancy Agreement
-Emails, Phone Bills, Chat Logs
Make sure that you submit everything because appeal is such a pain in the ass
