Final Check

[Rusty Englishman 0]

Hey Guys,

Hope you all had a fantastic christmas and best of luck with everything in the new year.

I am finally (3months on) ready to submit the pack to the Missus so she can send on. A few last things i just need to clear up...So i can have complete piece of mind and wont die of Rfeworrydeath.

1) included in pack: proof of ongoing relationship...i have printed off pictures (a medioka high res colour printer! works ofc!) like 6 orso pics at different times, firstly are these ok to be printed? i have also included our phone bills and a few bday cards etc..should i include more? i have read alot of posts where people clearly go overboard..and sometimes less is more, i know i wudnt want to sift through a load of ####### if i was an employee. So my Q is phone bills/pics/bday cards and our boarding pass stubs from aall our flights, is this enough? what else shud i include.

2) Address list, i have lived in so many houses over the past five years and 2 of them (i spent less than 2 months in each) i cant for the life of me remember the full address, i tried googling it etc but i cant remember the postcode..is this a huge problem if i just leave the address as the old one to make sure there is no gap, i mean do they check with the electra roll or tax office? it was about 4 yrs ago orso...

3) so submitting immenently, then will be visiting Dakotah (in Ohio) around Febuary, will i still need a letter from work etc? are they still hot on that if im English? im worried about booking the ticket and gettign turned away, i cant believe its really luck of who u get whether u get in or not, she will kill me if i dont see her on her Bday...so what would be best for me to take? and i dont have tenancy agreement or anything as just sold house..so living back with my mother.

I think thats it, we are ready to rock and roll.

Wish me luck with it! im a tad nervous, as i guess most of u guys were.

Kind Regards

Rusty

Hi there.

1) At this stage you only need to prove that you've met in person within the last 2 years so things like passport stamps, boarding cards, photos of you together etc. are good. You can leave out the phone bills and birthday cards because you don't need proof of an on-going relationship - save that for the interview.

2) Just put what you can remember.

3) Take anything you have that proves you have ties to the UK. A letter from your employer stating what date you are due back at work is good.

p.s. Good luck

Good luck!

Remember - they are afraid that you are going to try to get around the system. The more ties to the UK that you have at this point, the better. Anything including doctor's appointments, employer letter, etc. is good. I hope you'll be fine. We never tried, I went back to Ireland for him. That is always the safest.

Best of luck to you!!!

Good luck Rusty.

It looks as though you've got the advice you need. Just to add about the addresses though.

The post service websites for the US & UK have post code or zip code finders if you enter the address.

It's come in very handy to me!
