Property inspection report

Post by BradAnne » Mon Sep 21, 2020 10:35 am

Hi good morning

For the Property Inspection Report. Would the Entry clearance officer be satisfied with the conditions below:

Upstairs: 2 bed rooms.
Bedroom 1: Grandma and Grandad
Bedroom 2: Me (Sponsor) and my wife (Applicant)

Downstairs: large living room

All rooms above are larger than 50 Square feet

Would my grandparents need to show proof of ownership to the inspector?


I know its probably fine but I don't want to leave anything to chance.
Thankyou in advance.

You all seems related to each other and if so then property inspection won't be needed unless you voluntarily want to. In addition to it, mortgage statement, titled register and noc letter will be needed assuming grand parents are the owners.

How many photos to show for genuine relationship?

Post by BradAnne » Wed Sep 23, 2020 5:18 pm

Hi all.

For the spouse visa, how many photos should I include. So far I've got 15 pages which may be too many?

Jan/Feb 2018. 3 pages. 25 pics

Sep/Oct 2018. 4 pages. 45 pics

Jul/Aug 2019. 3 pages. 32 pics

Mar/sep 2020. 5 pages. 37 pics

Wedding. June 2020. 2 pages. 16 pics

Have I gone overboard with these pics?


Basically I've found the pictures where we look the happiest etc. And around in different places.

Would this be an issue using this many pictures? I could reduce the number of pages for each meet to 2 and remove pictures and enlarge the ones remaining?

And if I'm advised to reduce the amount. When it comes to balancing pictures between me and her looking the happiest and pics with her family. Which way should I tip the scale?

And do I need to print any of these out or just upload them to their website as a PDF?

Thankyou kindly.

There is no set limit but these along with other subsisting relationship evidences must be as much as possible. These can simply be copied pasted on ms word file which then can straight drag into the ukvcas portal without printing.

For self upload there is no limit to the quantity you can use. Have them well spread over the period of relationship and wedding. Where possible, annotate them to describe occasion and who you have in the picture if more than you and spouse.
Pictures is not a stand alone factor to establish genuineness of your relationship, other documents you will submit all come together.

Thankyou again for your reply. I've been using Google sheets cos it's easier to organise the picture locations. When you say AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, does this apply to our messages from fb? I could fill 1000 pages easily if so.

Thankyou very much for your reply.

Other documents I have planned are:
- Friend & Family support letters
- Travel itineraries (bookings, boarding passes, flight tickets, leisure tickets such as Disney Land etc)
- call log (as screenshots)
- chat log
- birthday cards & Christmas cards etc
- gifts related (screenshot of Pacrel2go page where it shows I sent stuff to anne) & pics of fb thankyou posts of gifts
- support (money sent on transferwise)

Do i need anything else?


When it comes to uploading these documents, is it all split into sections or something so I just upload a PDF of all of these to that section? I read somewhere that the upload system is buggy and it's best to have them scanned at some place? Are the bugs outdated info?

Apologies for the many questions.

- Friend & Family support letters
These are irrelevant and carry no weight at all. Anyone can write a letter stating anything you want.

I would suggest to only submit what is required by the rules and not what you believe will be beneficial, it will simply be disregarded and often create confusion and cause the important docs to be missed.

OK I understand, thankyou for the advice. I won't include those letters and will just stick with the other evidence.

How many pages of call, message, booking history for spouse visa?

Post by BradAnne » Sun Sep 27, 2020 8:51 pm

Hi all.

Just gathering evidence together for when we start the spouse visa process.

Have a few questions beforehand, if someone would be so kind as to clarify a few things for me 🙏😊

- Should I put onto word ALL booking confirmations from accommodations we've stayed at together or just the main ones?
(should I keep it as 1 per page or squeeze 2-4 on the page?)

- How many pages should I have of FB messages? (right now I'm in the 100s)

- How many pages should I have for call log?
(currently have 40 pages of screenshots cos can't download call history on fb, there is a site which claims to 'Extract your call history from your Facebook data' at messengerhistory.com, but I don't know if it's legit nor do I like the idea of it having access to all my messages)

Thankyou all very much

Better to include all pages. Simply click on each confirmation follows by prompting the print option which will enable you to save it in pdf format.

Can I submit evidence in landscape?

Post by BradAnne » Mon Oct 05, 2020 1:39 am

I'm not sure which route I will take to submit the evidence, whether scanning or uploading. But for either, is it OK to have evidence in landscape format for photos and call logs etc?

This is for the spouse visa

Thankyou in advance.

If I may ask, why landscape particularly?
Whichever orientation you use ensure it is legible.

For screenshots particularly, I can fit more pictures on landscape than portrait. Thankyou very much
