1) This is a brief list of what we're planning on presenting as supporting documents - do you think there's something we're missing or might not be necessary?
Personal documents:
1. Applicant's current valid passport and previous passport
2. Applicant's birth certificate
3. Applicant’s parents’ birth certificates
4. Applicant's criminal record certificate (no criminal record)
5. Sponsor's current valid passport
6. Birth certificate
Proof of genuine relationship:
7. Marriage certificate from Argentina (supposed to be recognised by the UK)
8. Statements from a friend of my husband and my mother-in-law
9. Some pictures of both of us and pictures of our wedding and honeymoon
10. Receipts for our travels together (our honeymoon and trips here in the UK)
Financial proof and suitable accommodation:
11. Sponsor’s 6 last payslips (they're not stamped because of COVID)
12. Sponsor’s bank statement for the last 6 months
13. Sponsor’s current employer letter
14. Sponsor's P60
15. Tenancy agreement for the flat where my husband currently lives
16. A letter from the letting agency endorsing both of us living together
17. Gas, electricity & internet bills and Council tax bills
I'm also including my IELTS exam (an A1 level) and I shouldn't need a TB test (Argentina is not included on the list of countries with TB).
2) All the documents from Argentina (except for my passport) are translated by an official Argentine translator and certified by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Argentina. But the documents from the UK (my husband's birth certificate, for example) are simple scans. Is this format right? Or have you certified the documents somewhere?
3) Before getting married, we spent most of our relationship appart, but talking constantly. Should we include our Whatsapp conversation or phone calls? If you've included them, which format did you use? Because I could take screenshots of the conversations with my phone, but I don't know if that would be useful.
PS: If you have the information of any visa adviser that we could hire to just take a look at our documents, that would be appreciated too! All the advisers we found offer to handle the entire process themselves but we can't afford it. We could use a simple phone call.
Thank you for reading and thank you in advance!
