couple of queries

[aishpe]

couple of queries:

1) when UK sponsor is flying to india for marriage - does UK sponsor need to submit passport copy page showing india entry stamp or not mandatory as marriage certificate there?

2) if UK sponsor changed his job 2 months ago but earning £45k+ does UK sponsor still need to submit 12 months pay slips and bank statements or 7 months will suffice

1) You can include the visa page but it is not compulsory. Submit photographs of you wedding in India plus other time spent together. The picture will be proof enough that you were in India. In order to make it easier for the ECO, glue two or three on a A4 size sheet with a small description underneath. This way they won't have to fiddle around with lots of small pictures.

2)The rules require that you MUST submit the 12 months worth or pay slips.

- Regarding your first query, I would say full copy of passport should be submitted and this should preferably be a notarized copy. there have been few cases of rejection where this was not submitted.

- On second query, Yes, more so in your case. If you have been with the same employer for over six months earning the same salary then last six months salary statements and bank statements is sufficient. If there is change in employment or salary level (even due to promotion) then the full 12 month salary statement & bank statement must be submitted.

Most importantly, the net pay in salary statement should be the same as bank statement. If you were paid back travel expenses or other work related benefits, this must be explained with a letter from the employer.

Hope this is clear.
