Want to ask a question about savings in Pakistan
From this page (https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/provide-information), you only need to provide "copies of the photo page and any visa or entry stamps in your previous passports" so I would just scan the photo page and any other pages that aren't blank for each old passport.Mfamily wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2019 10:18 pmThanks geoeng
Want to know about old passports should i scan All pages of my old 2 passports or just need stamped pages and visa pages for scanning? As i got 3 uk visit stamp and 2 Saudia visa stamp on my passports and 3 Dubai entry stamp and one Qatar entry stamp and one Bahrain entry stamp waiting for clarification
If the original documents required for scanning then should i send my previous original passports to my wife for scanning stamp and visas pages to UK?geoeng wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 8:55 amFrom this page (https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/provide-information), you only need to provide "copies of the photo page and any visa or entry stamps in your previous passports" so I would just scan the photo page and any other pages that aren't blank for each old passport.Mfamily wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2019 10:18 pmThanks geoeng

Yes, that's what I would do.
I would provide the originals for scanning. Paper size is rather non-standard across the globe and I'd expect they can accommodate that wherever you're going for scanning. Many of my documents were not A4 size and I've never had issues as document size can be reformatted during the scanning process if necessary.
That should be fine.
Not so.then they'll not be original and originals are required for Scanning
Specified documents may be originals or copies.
The same rule also states "if the Entry Clearance Officer or Secretary of State has reasonable cause to doubt the genuineness of any document submitted by an applicant which is, or which purports to be, a specified document under these Rules, and having taken reasonable steps to verify the document is unable to verify that it is genuine, the document will be discounted for the purposes of this application." And the guidance document for Appendix FM Section 1.7 Financial Requirements states "any documentary evidence must be the original (not a copy) unless indicated otherwise in Appendix FM-SE."
The Rules trumps that guidance (or any IDIs) to the extent of any inconsistency with the Rules.
The guidance is entirely consistent with the rules in this regard and I don't disagree with what you're saying. The rules give ECOs a wide latitude in their ability to request additional information and conduct verification checks. Providing copies when you have the originals is like paying with pennies, you may be entirely within the rules to do it but it just slows the whole transaction down.

Follow whatever instructions VFS Global has, clearly in this case they want to scan copies. As has been noted, copies are acceptable as per the rules. If the Entry Clearance Officer has any doubts about a document, they have to try and verify it and will ask for the original if necessary.Mfamily wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2019 5:48 amI think in this situation i need to send them photocopies and they will scan for me photocopies and send me all my documents photocopies back to me. In this situation they will scan photocopies of original documents and if my wife go for scanning then why she needs original for scanning
Keep in mind we can't access the form and don't know what answers you have previously given, so might not be able to provide an explanation. If you answered anywhere on the form that your sponsor was employed, it may think you are trying to include employment income either from the UK or overseas as employment income can be combined with cash savings to meet the financial requirement. If this is the case, I suspect you could either answer the questions or just say your sponsor isn't employed; saying your sponsor isn't employed may make the application easier to fill out and their employment status is irrelevant anyway if you are relying on cash savings alone.Mfamily wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2019 4:16 pmBut when i complete financial page by clicking on cash savings route then in the end of this one question they ask i don't know why they ask this question
''Does(my partner my sponser) have a confirmed offer of employment in the UK starting within 3 months of their return?''
And also i didn't see anywhere in the form category D as i know category D is cash savings
Thanks geoeng need explanation

Fair enough. Since it doesn't matter anyway, I'd just answer no and move on. If you answer yes then they'll be looking for supporting evidence that will just confuse the situation.
They aren't intended to be trick questions. Just answer them honestly. If you are unsure of which answer to select because of a complicated situation, pick one answer and explain the situation in a cover letter. You are required to prove the following and this is what the questions are intended to do: you must have met your partner in person, you must have a genuine and subsisting relationship, you must be in a valid marriage (or equivalent partnership), you must intend to live together in the UK. If you provide sufficient evidence to satisfy those criteria then you should be fine. If you are married, you are not required to have lived together previously so the answer to that specific question is rather irrelevant except that it helps prove a genuine and subsisting relationship; in your case, you can prove this by providing evidence of time spent together and of conversations when you were apart.
