Hi,
Can someone please advise in the list of documents required for the UK Spouse Settlement visa, we need to submit rent agreement as residential proof which consist of many pages (more than 20) , do we need to submit all of them with our application or just the pages consist of signatures from both the parties. Also,
attaching the support letter from my husband let us know if this will work for us.

Re: Application for a Wife Visa by Mrs..............................

To whom it may concern,

I am writing in support of my wife, Mrs............, in her application for a Spouse Visa to join me in the United Kingdom.

We are legally married and our ceremony took place in India on 29.............

We first talked through a arrange marriage matrimonial website, jeevantsaathi.com in March 2016 and connected through facebook. We kept in touch using facebook/hangout gmail for few months. I then visited India and we met in July 2016. After that we continued our long distance communication through social media.

On xxxx 2016, we met with each other families for taking the proposal further. After that we decided to give it bit more time so I came back to UK and we continued our communication online.

In end of Dec 2016 I visited my parents in India, I ended up staying for couple of months because of personal reasons (Initially i got food poisoning, post that thought about staying back and sorting about marriage which was proving to be difficult in long distance). I took work from home/leave without pay. I was able to met Rakhi couple of times during this stay to know bit more about each other and take a decision about how to take it further.

Beginning of July 2017 we thought of getting married at around end of 2017. Our families discussed the details and the date was finalized for 29 November 2017. I came back to UK and joined my new job which was closer to home so I can save travelling time to get more time for personal life. Have been working there since then.

Post marriage we went to Maldives for our honeymoon for around 6 days. After that I came back to UK and Rakhi has been staying with my family since then.

At present, I am in full time employment as ............. and my current salary is .........., which I have been earning since March 2018. Before that it was........... I will therefore be using this salary to meet the financial requirement and I am including the relevant supporting documents as evidence.

I am currently staying alone in a rented flat and Rakhi will be staying with me till the time we plan to buy our own house. I have included relevant letter from Landlord and also my tenancy agreement.

Hope this give information required to support my wife's application.

Your Faithfully,
[/b][/b][/b]

There is no such thing as a wife visa. Its either referred to as a Spouse visa or Settlement visa.

Maybe add a little bit on the forms of communication used to stay in touch whilst apart such as telephone, whatsApp etc.

Applicant only give biometrics and submits passport at VFS.

At vfs she takes
- appointment letter
- copy of application just to show and not to submit
- passport
- 2 x passport photos

Everything else goes to SHEFFIELD, which can be sent directly from you from within UK

There is no BRP appointment - BRP is a card that you pick up from a post office after arriving in UK.

Biometrics appointment is made via visa4uk - its contained within your application and part of one the steps such as paying for IHS.
