Hi,
My soon to be husband and myself are planning to move to the UK together (we are getting married in 1 month). I am transferring with my company with expected start date of my role to be 20 April.
I know I can't submit my application prior to 3 months before we wish to move (therefore would be submitting this 1st week of January).
I want to ensure I prepare and submit all the correct documents for this.
We are going down financial route A as I earn enough money in Australia and will have a job offer earning enough money in the UK as well.
Documents to Submit:
Sponsor Documents:
- Full Copy of Austalian and UK Passports (I have citizenship in both countries).
I am also a NZ citizen but do not have a current passport - should I also photocopy my old NZ passport or provide my birth certificate?
Also 2 Passport Photos
- Sponsor Letter
- Letter from my Australian and UK Employeer Detailing how much I earn.
Financial Documents:
- 6 months salary slip - signed by a senior manager at my work - dated within 28 days of submission
- 6 months bank statements - printed out but signed by bank officials - dated within 28 days of submission. Also highlighted to show salary payments into my account.
- Savings account statements - in joint names - showcasing savings (which aren't necessary for route A but thought would be useful).
- Letter from Australian employer about length of time at company and current salary.
- Job Offer Letter from UK based company - showing start date and salary amount. My company head office is in Oxford, as we will be living in London and I have permission to work from home I thought it might be worth having this stated in the letter.
Accomodation:
We will be renting a 3 bedroom apartment privately from my aunt. I will submit a letter from her stating that she is happy for us both to reside and there will only be the 2 of us inhabiting the property. This property is based in London.
English Language:
- My fiance has a Bachelors Degree from an Australian university. Plus he is Australian so that should suffice.
Evidence of Marriage:
- Our Marriage Certificate
- Photos from our small wedding (just our parents and ourselves) and the lunch following.
Does it matter how big the wedding is?
Proof of Relationship:
- I can provide 4 years worth of message and call logs.
- I have a multiple page word document with photos of us together, with each of our families and at friends events.
- Hotel booking and flight information from joint holidays
- Joint Lease, Joint Bank Accounts, Shared Insurance information
- Letters and Invitations to Events together
- Letters from family and friends testifying that we are in a true and honest relationship.
Application Information
- His Passport and 2 UK Passport photos.
Is there anything I am missing or would be important to add into this? Or anything that sounds like it would damage our application?
Many thanks in advance.
