Today I got my Spousal Visa - used the premium service in Glasgow.
Changed from a workpermit

Submitted - FLR(M)
5 months payslips (no bankstatements)
Passports x 2
Marriage Cert
P60 ( wasn't nessesary)
Letter from bank about my current account - proof of address (not nessesary)

Thats it.

Everyone in the office were friendly informative and willing to help.

Well done - congratulations and all the best for the future...
Why were you concerned to begin with, by the way?

gamma911 · Post by **gamma911** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 11:46 pm

My concern was that I did not have bank statements as my account is online only..

Well, who said that you could not print out your statements online and then submit them?

gamma911 · Post by **gamma911** » Wed Jul 11, 2007 8:03 am

hmm didnt know that, thought the general consensus was that you needed originals

Jeff Albright · Post by **Jeff Albright** » Wed Jul 11, 2007 9:56 am

Those are your originals - you open up the website, print them out and send them. I would have done the same.

ah ok didnt know that

On a different matter do you have to show your partners income also when switching from a work permit?

The rep behind the counter mentioned something bout that but I didnt have any and it was ok?

I mean being on a wp I can support myself without my partners or public fund help

Jeff, I had an FLR(IED) application stalled and the HO asked my acquaintance to send the original bank statements or certified copies for the case to be decided.

Also during that time, I had come across guidance notes that stated that printout from the internet will not be accepted even though admittedly it had succeeded in some cases as well.

I know what you mean - there are some ridiculous rules at Work Permit division. I know someone who got their HSMP refused because they provided a certified by their employer copy of P60 and they did not accept it, although the employer was the one that gave them a copy and never supplied the original...
