Hi Joe

(1) Yes, the Trust Deed shows up on my last 6 monts bank statements, hence the reason for asking about declaring it.

(2) In Terms of Air tickets and the Visa, I will pay for the Visa with my Mastercard (which is Fully Paid off) and then, I will pay that off in February / March, and then use the Mastercard again to pay for her flights. I will mention this in my letter of sponsorship also...will that be helpfull / acceptable ?

We are just having a small wedding, so costs will be minimal.

Can I send you a copy of my letter to see if its acceptable ?

Many Thanks

Others know better than me im sur on the matter of iva's.

But my view wud be to mention if it is noticed and you have not mentioned it will at least delay your application as they will think hang on what else have we not been told?

Think of the money side as if your creating a new business or showing the bank your worthy of a loan. Basically show you have taken everything into account and your in control of your money matters. Which from what i read you have in fact more than most.

All they are looking for is that the applicant will not be a burden to society and public funds, which is fair enough i guess.

As she will not be, as your detailed accounts will show then they should be abale to give you a big tick on that section.

that's one thing andy, they ask how much savings you have, but not how much debt you have

yes say i had £5,000 in my current account, which i transferred from my credit card, then i applied for a new CC which was interest free for 9 or 12 months, then when i had my 6 months worth of bank statements, paid the CC card off with the money in the current account..

people needs to plan for after the wedding to, and not for just b4 !!

Indeed many people think sorted we got the visa, but for many particularly now its very hard to bring a person to a country and support them.

i meant instead of planning their wedding, plan how you are going to get your visa to, like evidence and especially 6 months worth of good bank statements

many spend all their efforts planning to get wed, plan your visa first !, then you will not have to wait months after your wed to apply because of poor savings, sort your money out first, in most cases its not that you have to save the money its the 6 months waiting

Well wedding, visa, and just coping after that is a struggle. Not many phills are going to walk into jobs as many members on here have in recent years. very little credit about to tide you over if expenses are bigger than expected. Well we all know the rest
