Ok I have all my bank statements from September 01 2019 to February 29 2020. I went in-branch and had them print them off for me and then stamp only the front page of each monthly statement. Is this ok as not every page is stamped, only the front ones? Can always go back and have them stamp each instead.
This was discussed already in this thread but I'll post the wording again -
"Bank statements must be:
(1) on official bank stationery; or
(2) electronic bank statements which are either accompanied by a letter from the bank on its headed stationery confirming that the documents are authentic or which bear the official stamp of the issuing bank on every page."
If they are on official bank stationery, there is no need to have them stamped at all; if they are not on official bank stationery, they must be stamped on every page (or accompanied by a letter).
Unfortunately I can't help much with regards to the application process for locations outside the UK as I've never applied for a spouse visa that way and don't have any experience with the providers of those services or their systems.
Perfect! And finally, we will be submitting in just a few days. Would anybody mind taking a brief look at all the documents we plan to submit? Would appreciate it - the help on this forum has been fantastic.
I have all physical documents in a folder in the UK but scanned them all onto PDF which we'll upload each file.

How do these documents look? Pretty confident everything is there. Only concern I had originally was my salary is lower than 18,600 per year but with overtime it's approximately 24,000 per year. I have had my employer state my annual salary of 14k however addresses that I have been doing overtime from Sep 19 to Feb 20 and gives a total sum of the six payslips. Each payslip is at least 1,550 gross pay. All bank statements will show NET deposits (less than 1,550)
