Can you provide me list of docs which your wife provided for her application?
Not here. This is a TIMELINE THREAD ONLY.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

I thought I'd share my timeline so others can learn from the experience of my spousal visa application.

Online Application: 08/01/2018

Biometric: 09/01/2018

No calls to sponsor or to sponsor's work.

Email received from 4th of April.

Passport Collected 05/04/2018

Granted!

Something to note: I forget to enclose my employment letter. I was confused it for my contract.

I sent it to them and it was only received on 01/02/2018. I had to call and email to ensure the second evidence is attached to application. I didn't stop until I received a confirmation from them that it's been linked to my application.

So if for any reason any of you forgot to send anything. You can still send.
