Size/amount of file accepted at Delhi VFS for Spouse Visa?

[Simi2]

Hi everyone,

I'm going to submit our application at Delhi in a few weeks and wanted to ask - has anyone submitted a large file, say 3 inches thick of A4 sheets (not including photo copies) at Delhi VFS? Do VFS Delhi have an upper limit as to how large your file can be? Or will they accept the amount of documents submitted? I read somewhere a U.S VFS has a weight limit for file sizes. I'm trying to find out now so I don't have to pull out stuff (and my hair!) on the day. My husband and I have an age gap so we need to cover the genuine marriage bit thoroughly and we have fours years to cover.

Thanks a lot.

Why is your documents list so enormous? What exactly are you submitting? How big is the age gap (HO don't really have an issue with this)? Why are you worrying about the US VFS if you are not applying in the US?

Hi, thank you for your reply.

I'm thinking if the U.S VFS operate a limit other VFSs may have the same rule.

In real terms the age gap is 5 years, but on paper e.g birth certificate, passport etc my husbands date of birth is 13 years younger. It can't be corrected as there is no alternate proof. So rather than explaining to HO we thought go with what is written and provide docs to prove it is not a sham marriage for purposes of gaining entry to U.K.

The I.D file is succint containing our I.Ds, proof of work/career, proof of finances, housing, English test, t.b.

The relationship file contains proof of correspondence from start of relationship in 2012, so emails, proof of postage of greeting cards n gifts, flight tickets to meet eachother, photos, more emails. 2013 - wedding invitation cards, flight tickets to wedding in Kenya (where my husband was working on work permit) for me and my mother, photos, guest wedding cards, tickets for honeymoon, hotel receipts, photos, joint bank account, civil marriage photos, photos and proof of living together (8months). More emails for when I returned to U.K and postage proof for gifts etc for 1st anniversary, proof of him sending me money. 2014 - proof of my relocating to India and then 2 years of docs re living together in India, plus family photos, my tickets back to U.K to visit my family x3. 2016 - flight tickets, passport stamps, photos for holiday in Europe and Dubai together and back to India. This is the kind of stuff I have included.

Hey,

Yes I applied on 12 May 16 and my file was more than 800 pages A4 size.

Hi Windtalker,

Thanks a lot for your reply, it's given me some idea. I've also heard from others that if the file is too big Vfs will use two courier bags with the same reference number, so I will be fine. Wishing you a successful outcome.
