Hello,
I was wondering if I could have some advice on whether I have correctly interpreted the visa requirements for the Family of a Settled person Visa, through the Unmarried partner route.
My boyfriend will be the applicant, and I the sponsor.
I am 20 and my boyfriend 23. He is from New Zealand and I was born in Britain but moved to NZ very young and lived there until I was 18.
I have checked and I am sure we meet the requirements but I have come across the forum and want to double check our eligibiltiy.
My boyfriend and I meet in 2010 and began dating in 2014, back when I was 17. After 1 year we moved over to Britain in May 2015 where we have lived for 2 years. I am currently in the UK and my boyfriend has flown back to NZ last week as his 2 year YMS visa has expired.
My questions are:
DO we meet the living together requirement as we lived together from 14 May 2015 to 14 May 2017. This is exact as this was the period for his YMS visa. We did not live together prior to this as I was under 18 and lived with my parents.
As I am a British national I meet the requirement to be a sponsor, does my age have any effect on this?
Financial requirement: I earn a Salary of £16452.00, although with overtime my p60 shows I earned £18420.00 last year.
I have £10,000 in cash savings. this has accumulated in my account over the last 2 years so there are no direct source of funds. Do I need to provide more than 6 months bank statements or will they be happy to accept I have had roughly £10000 in my bank account for over 6 months and then dont need source of funds.
My bank statements are online statements that have been printed. I have taken these to a branch and they have stamped the first page of the statement with the official 'I certifiy that this is a true document' stamp, because I have so many pages for the statements, each additional page is stamped with a bank stamp and dated. Will this be sufficient? My employer has given me a signed HR letter to confirm my contract type and my salary. I also have an eP60.
I have copied my passport and birth certificate. These have been certified by a barrister of the New Zealand High court when she was here in the UK visiting. Will this be acceptable?
My parents are the landlord of the flat we live in. DO i need a separate letter from them stating that my boyfriend can live there (to meet his accommodation requirement) and that he lived here between certain dates ( to help with co-habitation requirement) ? Or can this all be on one letter.
I'm not positive we have enough documents to prove cohabition akin to marriage. In joint names I have:
Utility bill for internet (online copy only)
Council Tax bill for 2017, 2016 and 2015
Bank statements for current account with 1 bank
Bank statements for savings account with different bank
In my partners name we have:
Letters from HMRC showing name and address
Letter from NHS confirming CHI number and address
A p45 for the job he just left when he needed to leave
In my name we have:
A utility bill for Gas and electric
Home insurance for 2 different companies over 3 years
Car insurance documents
Driving License showing address
Bank Account in single name with 3rd bank.
I have Amazon receipts for things being posted to our address over 2 years. I dont have cards and letters from family as i didnt think I would need them.
To show relationship like marriage, I have very few photos as we just dont take them, I have probably only 7 that show the two of us together. I can provide the travel page in my passport that has been stamped for our trip overseas when we went to a non eu country so my passport actually got stamped (his has been stamped all over europe but mine is pretty empty)
I have call logs from the date he left uk (14 May 17) up to visa application date. I have travel itineraries showing we are staying together in the same room and sat next to each other on some flights (ryanair makes you pay extra to sit together so... )
Do we think I have enough? Is there anything I am missing?
I am particularly concerned about the financial requirement.
DO we need the printed VAF4A form as well as the online one?
Many many thanks
