question about co-sponsors when applying for my wife's visa

[mary_drew]

thanks for the information that you have provided terpe.

yea it looks like i will have to bite the proverbial bullet and give them a cal l, if i don't get an answer from them i can always try the local CAB or local immigration advisor to see if they are able to help or give any further information.

You are probably right that the co-sponsors may need to reside in the UK but you never know so its always worth looking into.

Again thank you for the information you have provided.

Hi ....... Sponsorship Undertaking form SU07/01 clearly states at the beginning of the form:-

The sponsor giving this undertaking must be resident in the United Kingdom (see Note 1)

Note 1: The sponsor should provide evidence that he/she lives at the address given above. This evidence should include one or more documents from the list below. Please note that applicants must also provide evidence of their sponsor's ability to maintain and accommodate them without recourse to public funds.

• Certified copy of deeds of sponsor’s house
• Letter from building society/bank confirming they hold a mortgage for the sponsor
• Housing association/council rent book or other council letter confirming address of sponsor
• Bill from a utility company (gas, water etc.)
• Local authority letter (council tax)
• Letter from any government department

Hopefully, this answers your question.
