UK Fiance Visa success story in 12 working days

• Hello readers
  
  I am putting down my story for others to read as I believe it could be helpful to those who plan to embark down the UK fiancé visa route. I’ll try and be as brief as possible.
  Background – 27 Indian male applying for fiancé visa for getting married to a 25 UK citizen – permanently residing in the U.K. Relationship – long distance, previously I had been in the U.K. on a student visa followed by a 2 year FTI (Fresh Talent Initiative) visa. Total time in the UK 3.5 years.
  I recently put my application in for the Fiancé visa or Settlement form to move to the U.K. I put the application together myself. Here is what I included
  The 2 most important parts as I see it
  1. Evidence of financial strength of sponsor (UK citizen) to support the primary applicant through the duration of his fiancé visa (6 months)
  2. Evidence of relationship
  
  1. We showed 6 month original bank statements of the sponsor. We both tried to show as much funds as possible to show that I could support myself if need be without using the sponsors funds and also that we have some money for the wedding.
  2. We included the receipt for the wedding venue booked - Strong point
  3. A sample of our printed wedding card.
  4. Photographs from our time in the U.K. and 2 other countries where ,my fiancé had visited me while I was out of the U.K. – Strong point
  5. About 6 months telephone bills.
  6. Copy of our employment contracts and pay slips, passports, the sponsors house and vehicle ownership papers – (helped) , approval for of stay for sponsor and myself (helped) , letter of undertaking by sponsor for myself (mandatory) , my UK degree certificate, letter of approval from the minister who will be marrying us in the U.K. – (helped).
  We were quite meticulous in our paperwork and organized our documents well with an index for the supporting documents. We wanted our application to be as easy as possible during assessing time. If anyone has any queries, I would be happy to help.

• UK fiance visa

  Thanks for the above post. Im British and I hoping to have my Mexican fiance join me in the UK so we can get married and settle down.
  
  I would be really grateful if you could answer a question I have??!! With all the supporting document off your sponser, did they have to have an apostille on the documents to make them legal or were copied accepted?
  
  If you know the answer, I would be grateful if you could let me know!!
  
  Thanks and good luck with your life here in the UK!
