Spouse Visa from Indonesia - Sheffield and other Qs

Post by nas2017 » Sat Sep 30, 2017 10:57 am

Hi everyone

I am a British National (born and living in the UK) and just married my fiance a couple of weeks ago (in Indonesia). We're now preparing everything for my wife's Spouse Visa Application to the UK and I have a few questions as I am new to the whole process - would be grateful if anyone could help out with some answers:
  • I have heard some people say that all our documents will need to be sent to Sheffield. Is that true? My wife's documents are still with her in Indoensia, so will she need to post them to me, here in the UK? Or will she have to present her documents in Indonesia?
  • I'm also collating my documents together. What's the best way of showing evidence of our relationship (which goes back 3 years)? I have phone records, whatsapp messages, photos.
Many thanks to your help.

Hi everyone

Anyone out there who can help with my questions? I'm sure this isn't the first time this has been asked?

you can either use scanning service at the VAC or send documents to Sheffield

Thanks for the reply.

In terms of accommodation, I have a copy of the Tenancy Agreement - does this need to be certified by the Housing Association (I live in rented accommodation with a housing association)?

Also, what does a Property Inspection Report contain? I want to organise one but not sure who to go to and what detail should be contained in the Report.

Can anyone help with these questions?
