Also it asks if I rent or own the property we live together in. We currently live with my parents so we don't rent or own the property. when I check neither it requires documents from the property owner. As my parents rent the house from the council will I just need a letter from my parents saying they are happy for us to live there with them? as always, thank you

That's great thanks.

Also it asks which types of income will i rely on to meet the financial requirements. As I'm using my cis income as salaried income what would I check, Employment or self employment? If I choose employment it asks employment questions like name of employer, would I just put the company I do work for. I mainly only work for one comany under the construction industry scheme.
As you will have to supply the Cis payment slips and letter from the cis contractor which means you will have to provide their name & detail.

Most seems superfluous when you are only required to supply these covering the last 2 years.

Their mortgage statement and title register will be needed (if they own) otherwise the noc letter need to be from the actual landlord.

My parents rent the house from the council. It's a 3 bed house so big enough for us. We used this house on our first application for her first visa. The immigration advisor we used did a property report.

Just one more thing, the monthly cis statement that is missing was because of the lock down so I have one month missing due to this. So only have 5 cis statements for the last 6 months. Do I add the 7th month?

It may not offset the need of 6th month's statement and might not fulfill the criteria.

Okay thank you. I got the self employed furlough grant but don't have any paper work to show and add to the visa. What would you recommend I do? Thank you

There was a temporary concession in place. Help yourself in reading and translating about it from the below link:

With those 5 months I have earned 15900. As that is still above the requirement could I send those 5 or will need to be 6?

I will read the document you sent thank you. I skimmed through it at the moment and see it says that 6 months before March is acceptable.

Apart of the earning, the supporting documents should strictly be in compliance of what official guidances says, which is to supply the payslips/cis statements from last 6 months with no exception.

Well as per what it says on tin must work, albeit nobody yet has shared any of his/her experience as such by following it.

Hello everyone.

So I've finished submitting my wife's application online and the last step was to book a biometric appointment. I've followed the booking link and when I got to the dates and times it says on each time the price of £110, I haven't clicked on any of them yet. Is this right? We've paid the NHS fee and visa fee, I didn't realise about this £110 fee. This is on the ukvcas. Co. UK Web site.


Also how are all the supporting documents sent, paper or are they uploaded?

Thank you again.

Thank you again.
All the documents are sent electronically which you can continue to scan & upload until the date of appointment. If you can afford then may select that appointment, otherwise keep delving for free one which pop up mysteriously and gets occupied very frequently. Converely, You might also receive invitation for using the app (if selected) in lieu of attending the appointment.

For applications submitted from 24th September 2020, applicants won't have the option of being invited to use the IDV app as UKVCAS, for now, have stated that they have resumed normal service.

Except if i have read wrongly on the forum, it appears no more IDV app option for applications made from last week of September.

Hopefully, this time they (UKVCAS) don't flip-flop their steps.
