you missed off the cuddy toy and the kitchen sink

now that everything and more than you need,
that's the way to do it.. little chance of refusal when you've planned and researched like that..

hi 5olidsnake,

thanks for the bery informative reply..it really helps us double check our documents..

btw, i have a denied visit visa application last May of this year, and just last week my fiance comes here in the Philippines to see me and meet my family..The question is can i still used all the documents of my sponsor, re mortgage, birth cert. payslips and other documents to prove that he can support me?since it was only last May?on ur reply u said u have a consent letter from Cynthia's aunt though it is more for cfo purposes so it will be ok if i dont submit my own application letter?i am worried coz im not good in making letters that's why if ever Cynthia did can I asked for help on that matter too?Also, did u printed out all ur emails and yahoo transcripts or just few samples of it?

Hope u dont get tired answering me..I do appreciate every information I got here from u and some friends Ive got a chance to talk here..And I am very glad that we found this site..

thanks,
kimmi

hi kimmi
yes you can use some of the old sponsors documents like payslips/mortgage statements but 100% you MUST supply 6 months up to date documents prior to the date of application.

and ok not to supply consent letter. some documents on the above list are not a requirements.

cynthia never wrote application letter, just a filled in VAF2

we printed most of our emails, 26 A4 sheets of paper

captured screen shots of yahoo messenger archive around every week or so (we chat nearly everyday) and printed these, they did not contain much of the conversation only a few of the opening lines and showed the dates above that we have chatted.
EXAMPLE

(i kept a 3rd copy of documents here in the united kingdom, just in case a document went missing. brings back good memories just looking at them, basically tells the story of your relationship, how it developed over time.)

hope this helps you
