And our visa was granted

Very true Although if the visa is issued, I will happily purchase a couple of Oyster cards via the link provided lol...they will be sending the passport back, so hopefully have some positive news soon!

Hi. It so happens that a number of documents regarding our spouse visa application need translating. For example: 1. Marriage Certificate 2. House Sale Contract 3. Certain Bank Statements In this sense, I was wondering how the translations should be structured. Does every document/collection of docu...

I guess this was a bit of a complex question :) Our approach is to pretty much form the most comprehensive audit trail possible. What is true is that since the sale of our house (overseas), we have held over 62,500 GBP in a variety of accounts. Although money was distributed into various financial a...

Hi, My wife will soon apply for a spouse visa and we are struggling with the financial requirements at the moment. Back in May, 2020, my wife sold her house, and then the money was spread across 3 investment accounts (in her name). We will show cash savings (at least 62,500 GBP) by liquidating our E...
