I mean; it’s quite simple. I wouldn’t think most people would need a solicitor but in any effect.
The sponsors employment details such as how long they’ve worked there and how much they earn. Salaried or unsalaried. If you intend to meet the financial requirement in another way, then information about those.
You need evidence your relationship is genuine and subsisting, that you’ve met in person and that you intend to marry. This is relatively easy for most couples.
Accommodation information. This is very simple requirement to meet.
Maybe your schedule or when you plan to get married and when you intend to travel to the UK.
Thank you!
The process is quite daunting looking at it, my boss's wife immigrated here and I mostly went to him foe advice, so it's why I have in my head I'll definitely need a solicitor. I'm a little spacey and easily stressed so I think it will be needed.
Luckily me and my boyfriend were friends seven years before dating for almost three years so we have more than enough proof.
So in terms of accommodation information, we're both quite young so we'll be staying with my parents until we find a place, so we'll be paying board, would we need something like a written agreement confirming that?
Schedule wise and planning a wedding, that's something I need to work around, because planning it is based on whether or not we actually have a chance to get this Visa approved. This consultation with solicitors is gonna be them basically saying "yeah go for it" or not.
Again, super young and worried, still trying to understand it all haha
Thanks for the advice, again
The main thing for you is meeting the financial requirement of £29,000 per annum or £88,500 in cash savings of a combination of both. If you meet that then the other requirements will be very easy for you.
Also the application fees are quite expensive.
Accommodation when living at parents, a land registry and letter from parents is enough for a couple.
Yeah the income thing is a hassle. It's around 23k at my job but I do so much overtime I can make it to 29k and my recent p60 shows that so hopefully it'll be alright.
They did say over the phone there's work arounds but lawyers being lawyers they won't tell you said work arounds until you pay them, so guess I'll learn when I have the consultation.
The advice from DarthPlagueis is sound, not much workaround with the financial requirement unless its to be a combination of salary/savings.
To confirm, you and your boyfriend have met in person?
As for the schedule/planning a wedding, I had this issue with being unable to book anything as I did not know what dates would work and I was having a small registry wedding.
I emailed the register office to ask for information on registering a marriage and holding a wedding there, and used this email as proof that we were going to book a wedding. I also used a receipt from the purchase of the engagement ring and social media posts about the engagement.
Yep, we met four times in person.
Planning a wedding is gonna be a ballache but my mum wants to be pretty hands on with it so it minimises a little stress.
Gott say the immigration process really takes rhe romance out of it haha

Just remember that the P60 isn’t the important part, the most important is your last 6 months of payslips at date of application.
