Hi, I recently married from abroad and am starting a spouse visa application myself. I have a few questions:
1) How many photos do we need to submit? We don't have many of our wedding due to many reasons but we do have a few photos of us together in various locations. I've been to see my husband four times this past year and so have my tickets etc. I also have screenshots of our google maps timeline which will show all the various places we were at and so both our screenshots would show we were together in the same locations (such as the registry office, shopping malls, restaurants, etc). So what's the minimum amount of photos to include? By the way we have a very lengthy Whatsapp and Viber call and video call history as we call and text each other a lot every day. We do have a genuine relation and want to live together.
2) I am doing this application myself (I'm a British born citizen) but I would like to get it checked. Can anyone recommend anyone/a company to check this and scrutinise it thoroughly as we absolutely categorically cannot get a refusal.
3) I have been in my present employment for 3 months now and receive a salary of £19,000 p/a. We are hoping to rely on cash savings between us ( I am due to receive some money soon from a property I am selling so we're just waiting on that) so combined in both of our accounts we'll have more than £62,500. However I will also be submitting my wageslips. Do I also need to send my contract of employment? As my contract is temporary until July2021 however my wageslips don't show my employment is temporary.
4) My husband tried to come to the UK on visitor visa last year but got refused. Will that have any impact on the spouse visa application? Of course we will mention them in the covering letter but will it have any influence? If so what's the best way to address this? It was a very traumatic and terrible time for us when he got these refusals as we thought he would be able to come here on a business visa (he owns a company) but the Home Office refused so we are now going via the spouse route.
Would it be a good idea if we mention these previous refusals and state he is now wanting to set up this same company as a UK branch as his brother's will continue to operate the branch in their country.
5) What possible advice can any of you give to make our application as solid and strong as possible?
Many thanks
