Family visit visa success

My wife just recently successfully applied for a family visit visa to accompany me to visit my brother in the UK and I thought I would share what documents we supplied to get the visa. The visa was ready in 5 working days.

Background: we have been married for 2 months and live in Cape Town, South Africa, from where we also applied for the visa. I am a South African and British citizen and my wife is just a South African citizen. She applied at the VFS application centre in Cape Town and supplied the following documents with her application:

Wife's documents:
Application Form
Passport + photocopy
Itinerary of our holiday
Lease agreement + photocopy (to prove intent to return)
Unabridged marriage certificate + photocopy
Letter of employment (to prove intent to return)

Documents of relative being visited:

Photocopy of relative’s residence permit

Documents from spouse (myself):

Hope this helps anyone out there in the same situation.
