Hi,

No although the application is completed we were advised on here for my partner to pass the IELTS course (July 7th) first before applying?

I can see from your e-mail then the steps she will need to proceed. Is an IHS payment required even though the initial fiance visa will be for 6 months?

We have completed the appendix 2 which she will present at the Biometrics appointment. With regard to additional documents to be presented at that meeting would you recommend any of the following;

1) Her pension certificate with stamp. (she has just retired after 25 years with the Mexican health service)
2) My rental tenancy agreement.
3) Inventory of my rented property
4) We both have shared ownership houses in our respective countries. Hers with family and myself with a housing association although at the moment my ex partner lives there.

Thanks very much for your advice

The IHS payment isn't due for a fiance visa. This will be paid when applying for FLR(M) once you are married.

True. But when applying online she might be prompted to pay by the system. It redirects for some reason. I had to pay the surcharge but got it refunded about 2 weeks after the decision had been made on the Visa.

Hi

My bad I should have pointed out those were the completed steps for my spouses application, so you had an idea of how to print the auto generated form.

As Casa pointed out this is not payable for Fiance Visa.

1) Her pension certificate with stamp. (she has just retired after 25 years with the Mexican health service)- what is this in support of? because UKVI looks at your income to sponsor the applicant from the UK
2) My rental tenancy agreement. - you will need this to prove accommodation element, also a letter from the landlord saying you have permission for your Fiance to be living there and giving the details of the accommodation like number of rooms. Also Council tax/utility bills.
3) Inventory of my rented property - not needed
4) We both have shared ownership houses in our respective countries. Hers with family and myself with a housing association although at the moment my ex partner lives there. - Again you need to show how you will accommodate your fiance, i presume you will not be living at this house and the rental place listed above so not needed

Thanks very much for your advice

Thank you that makes things very much clearer to me.

For the time being i will plough on but too anybody that has shared their wisdom we are both extremely grateful.

Hi,

We have been told with the new rules that supporting documents now need to be separated by Barcoded categories for example proof of finances; sponsors docs etc. However the PDF requirement i have viewed about this relates to the Philippines not Mexico and includes a Tuberculosis section. Will my partner have to wait to generate the said forms when her online application is sent. Or would you advise downloading the Philippines form and using this is an index so she can start putting documents in the right categories.

Hi,

There is some confusion between my partner and i as to which official documents we will need to present.

1) Appendix 2 of VAF4A...I know this one is required so no issue.

2) Personal details VAF4A....is this required?

3) Appendix 2 VAF 4A financial requirement form....is this required?

Yes to all three.

[sprinter1967]

With regard to the documents i am submitting do the 6 months of bank statements also require any official letter from my bank?

And as we are using my financial route to apply is there any need for my fiance to supply her bank statements etc?

My partner has her IELTS A1 Life skills test booked for July 6th. She has checked with the approved college in Mexico that is the requirement for the UK Fiance.

Would you say this is the correct one?

Hi,

My partner was married before and the marriage was annulled and she has the translated document to prove this. Should we produce this certificate at the biometric meeting or any stage of the visa application?

We realise it is necessary to produce to the document at Registry Office here before marriage.

[Casa]

It will have to be submitted with the rest of your documents with the application.

Hi,

I have asked my Estate Agents for a letter confirming my fiance has permission to live there. First of all they asked to see a copy of her passport signed by someone of standing confirming it is my partner. I have sent that but now they have replied with the following...Hi David

Without her Visa all we can do is a letter stating that once we see sight of her visa she will become a permitted occupier

They say this is a new law. Can you confirm this is the case and the letter as above will be sufficient for the Application?

They are correct, but the letter they have offered should be sufficient.

My fiance is at the online application stage and has arranged her Biometrics for 14th August in Mexico City. She is at the register at commercial partner stage but despite completing the section and paying fees for scanning and courier of the visa the section does not go green and the next step of printing the online application also remains black. Is this just a matter of waiting and once VFS check the details it goes green? Please help as the contact tab just send you back to the Visa4UK gov site. It seems every step we take on this journey the stress levels are increased lol. Your help would be appreciated.

[sprinter1967]

If anyone can offer any advise on the above post it would be greatly appreciated.
I am concerned as we are running out of time with the Biometrics meeting being arranged for the 14th August.

Hi,

Regarding the Barcoded Seperators that VFS Global now supply. We are applying using my wages to meet the financial criteria and this is how i see it...but maybe i am wrong!

TUBERCULOSIS CERTIFICATE
Not applicable to Mexico so not supplied.

EDUCATIONAL EVIDENCE
Ielts test and my fiances university certificates

ACCOMADATION/PERMENENT TEMPORARY
Is this only to do with my (sponsors) accomadation in the UK or is my fiance to give her details?

CONSENT LETTERS AND PROOF OF RELATIONSHIP
Sponsor letter from parents/Birth Cerificates/Marriage Annulment Certificate/Marriage venue booking/reception booking/e-mails/whatsapp messages/photo timeline/proof flights/accommodation/gifts

SPONSOR EVIDENCE
Sponsor passport/Form SU07/12 Sponsorship undertaking/Sponsors Letter supporting the application/Letter from Landlord confirming applicant will be added to tenancy when visa is shown/Landlord letter confirming length of tenancy and type of property/Electric Bill/Gas Bill/Council Tax bill.

EMPLOYMENT EVIDENCE
No idea what is supposed to go in here as at the moment my employment details (sponsor) will be in the next section under Financial evidence. We could put my fiances employment history and certified pension certificate but as this is not relevant i am not sure?

FINANCIAL EVIDENCE
Appendix 2 (VAF 4A) Financial requirement/Letter from my employer/P60/6 months payslips/Bank Statements/ List of monthly direct debits and standing orders/

ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS/OTHERS
Please advise as currently empty.

APPENDIX 11
I am presuming this is an index like list of all the documents supplied and which separator they have been placed?

[sprinter1967]

We now have a week to go until the Biometric meeting in Mexico City.

Despite completing the VFS partner details on the online application this and the printed off documents remain black and have not gone green like the other 4 sections.

We are running out of time and ANY help at all with the previous posts would help.
