Hello fari none of your payslips should have less than £1550 if you are applying on category a

Add more than 15 photos(wedding with family and honeymoon plus any other that u took after wedding

Please include the p60 and a house inspection report stating the house is not over crowded and it can accomodate the applicant.

You have to pay the visa fee online, one form you have to fill online and they other one you have to fill by hand, i would say get help from a visa advisory service to be safe

The employer letter should state the start date of employement,type of job (permanent, contract etc?)
Gross annual salary etc with the phone n email of employer

I cant remember how many photos I included but there was so many! Pictures of me and him out and about at restaurants etc I wrote on the back whereabouts and dates Including pictures with his family, his family with mine, every time I visited, I provided attested copies of passports of a few of my family and cousins who also attended the wedding and the solicitor the dates matched as mine because they attended with me to the wedding, I put pictures of my uncles family and him sitting with us, the reason for this is because he had witnessed the nikah, the solicitor wrote it on cover letter for me,

Aww thats nice to know your with your spouse. What airport did your hubby land at? Which ever country you want to visit that countries embassy will give you the visa. So its the embassy you get in touch with thats what I was told. Good Luck.
