Will this application be from inside or outside the UK?

Thanks, I found the Full list as I was missing many things....

1. Provide a signed, dated visa application form (VAF4): (u can Apply Online)
http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/resources/en/ ... 3073/vaf4a

2. Provide the required photographs:
http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/resources/en/ ... Photoguide

3. Provide your passport

4. Provide an original NIC card with 1 photocopy

5. Provide a valid TB certificate if planning to come to the UK for more than 6 months -

6. Provide valid proof of you meeting the minimum English language requirements. There are some people exempt from the English language test requirement, you will need to explain why and show documentation
supporting this. Original Certificates/Degrees are a must.

7. Marriage Pictures

8. Evidence of marriage ie Marriage Certificate (original + Translation)

9) Intervening Devotion (Telephone contact etc)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sponsors Supporting Documents
10) Sponsor's Identification (Passport, BRP Copies attested by solicitor)
11) Tenancy Agreement (Atleast 6 Months must be left)
12) Housing Inspection Report
13) Financial Standing

The application must be supported by evidence which demonstrates that the applicant will not become reliant upon public funds. In the normal case, this takes the form of the sponsor/applicant (or co-sponsor)
providing:

Bank statements for at least the previous 6 months; showing regular deposits and withdrawals from the account (the last statement should ideally be no older than 4-6 before application is lodged) AND

Letter of Employment clearly stating the sponsor’s job title, National Insurance number as well as the numbers of hours worked per week and the gross yearly salary.

Salary slips for at least the previous 3 months before application.
The sponsor’s most recent P60 (in the absence of salary slips and if it is available).

If the sponsor is self-employed, he must produce certified copies of the previous two years' tax returns accompanied by a notarized version of his business accounts.

If there are disproportionate deposits and withdrawals in the bank statements, they should be explained in the sponsor's letter.

Consulates are reluctant to accept bank statements printed out from e-banking accounts because these can be so easily forged. Properly headed original statements can usually be obtained by visiting a branch office.

If the financial standing is marginal, and if the applicant has plans to work in the UK, a job offer letter can be included to bolster the application's strength; and failing all other evidence, the applicant may attach a
CV (or academic credentials) which demonstrate favourable prospects. Note however, that this is generally the weakest form of evidence.
