Yes I am paying £874- i assume this includes the ceremony fees.

Hi, 1) Do I leave section 6.5 (about spouse photocopies..) i.e not tick as I am applying alone. I believe section 6.7 need to be not ticked and crossed as I don't have any special circumstances. Please correct me if I am wrong. 2) Is this the correct fees form: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/site...

Items 4, 5, 6 & 7 are not required. Its a good idea to keep your application to the point and not shove unnecessary documents. When you apply through NCS they photocopy all your docs including passport and return the originals to you there and then. Any manager of a vat registered company be a refe...

If you can submit 6 months of statements showing salary it shouldn't be a problem. I'm assuming that all of the statements will show sufficient to meet the minimum annual earnings of £18,600. The calculation is made on the lowest monthly earnings and multiplied by 12. Hi Casa- I may apply for a spo...

Hi - I recently had my ILR approved and I
was in similar route(WP then Tier 1 G).The
CW asked for employer letter or p60 for my time as WP.
I had Neither but had the 5 years hmrc letter. The CW
accepted it. So you must submit either of the two to
be on safer side.
