https://www.gov.uk/apply-to-come-to-the ... pplicationWhen to apply
The earliest you can apply is usually 3 months before your:
planned travel date for visit visas
course start date for study visas
employment start date for most work visas
Get an estimate of how long it’ll take to process your application.
Settlement applications take up to 6 months and must be approved before you come to the UK. If you’re given permission to settle in the UK, you must travel before your permission ends.

Providing any earlier date wont accelerate the visa process.Mallu_Desi wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2020 7:17 pmThanks Seagul.seagul wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2020 7:11 pmhttps://www.gov.uk/apply-to-come-to-the ... pplicationWhen to apply

Ideally I prefer her to arrive in UK as early as possible. Would you recommend to give earlier date than January 10 on the application form?
Which ever date you give after submission of course, does not mean there will be quick action or delay in the processing. Should the result come before your intended date of travel for wife, you can make her flight earlier. Good luck.Mallu_Desi wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2020 7:30 pmThanks Seagull. I guess, I just need to give a date after the submission date.

You do not have to submit all. You can show a dated couple of shots per week/month spread over the duration of the relationship.Mallu_Desi wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 5:40 pmDear all,
I am in the process of submitting supporting documents.
Can anyone please advise me how should I submit whatsapp chat logs? Do I have to submit everyday's chat logs? There are around 250 screenshots of chat log.

No video evidence is considered rather the photographs only.Mallu_Desi wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 5:25 pmHi all,
Do I have to provide video link of the wedding? I have a highlights video under 10 min on YouTube. So, I can just copy the link into a word file and convert it into the PDF.

No because only the documents dated until 10th October will be mattered.Mallu_Desi wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 5:37 pmThank you Seagul.seagul wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 5:32 pmNo video evidence is considered rather the photographs only.Mallu_Desi wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 5:25 pmHi all,

I submitted the application on 10 October and got the date for biometrics on 28 October.
I will be getting new bank statement/ payslips by this time. Do I have to include this when I submit the evidence on VFS website?

I am in the process of writing the covering letters for the Spouse visa appication.
1. Do I have to write two covering letters (one from applicant's/ my wife's prospective and another from my prospective). I focused mainly about subsisting marriage, accommodation and employment in my covering letter as sponsor. Do I have to include same information in applicant's cover letter as I want to avoid the repetition. No, usually one should be enough covering all relevant areas
2. Do I have to include a separate list of supporting documents? No, you can just highlight same on your cover letter.

I submitted my application on 19 September and submitted docs, biometrics done. But I’ve just notified my 6 month bank statement is dated 25th September with transactions up to 21st September as I went in branch after submitting application. Bit silly of me. But I thought it would be good to show the IHS and Visa fee transaction on the statement - you think I should be worried?
Please post in your own topic instead of tagging your questions onto another members thread. It is consider unfair to other posters and creates confusion.
Can anyone please advice me about what date should I put on as drafting date of the letter? Does it have to be the same date of the application day? Or before/ after the application date?Mallu_Desi wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 9:58 pmDear Immigration gurus,

Really doesn't matter but providing the date of application probably would be more appropriate.Mallu_Desi wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 5:37 pmCan anyone please advice me about what date should I put on as drafting date of the letter?
