Casa,

if I am right in understanding Sprinter1967 has child from a previous relationship. In that case the financial requirement would be just for the spouse at £18600

@sprinter1967, is this correct?

i am sure some others can pipe in, in case im wrong

in that case you can just add the actual place of birth of the form, and the in the further information explain the passport does not have a place of birth listed.

Does your spouse have a birth cert? maybe you can include that to show it

This will ensure you dont miss 28 day rule on financial docs You will need to fill in appendix 2 by hand, and this is where you state your relationship details and how your me...

If it has been more than 10 working d...
