    1. The sponsor is the person living in England.

    2. Partner. The only other option is Spouse but this term is used after you get married.

    1. Sponsor details will be your fiancé so put his details in that part

    If there’s no option for fiancé then just put partner.

    Sorry I didn't realise you are the sposnor.

    Part 3 (on the Spouse/Partner section) and Part 6 of the online form will be about the sponsor so you have to put your details in that one.

    Good evening.

    I'm about to press "GO" on the visa application for Little Miss Adobo to join me here in the UK for marriage. I've tried reading as much of this fantastic thread as possible, but hope someone can just confirm that I'm on the right path.

    I have almost finished the application on Visa4UK for
    Settlement - Settlement - Marriage

    Before I go any further, this is the right one, isn't it?

    Once I complete this, it is going to magically present me with an option for Little Miss Adobo to make an appointment in Manila and drop off her passport.

    I have in my possession her English certificate and TB test result (within the past 6 months) which she FedEx'd to me from the Philippines.

    I also have an official copy of the the Land Registry form confirming I own my house (buying this damned house has added many months on to this visa process). I have 6 months payslips (will wait until end of this month and submit with my most recent). I will get 6 months bank statements direct from branch at HSBC.

    I have zillions of photos dating back to 2012 of us both in Hong Kong, Thailand, Bali, Cambodia, Singapore and many other spots in the Philippines. Also have receipts for far too much money being sent by Western Union. Surely they don't also need banal chatlogs from Facebook to go with this?

    I have confirmation that I have booked and paid for the provisional wedding ceremony in Blackburn. Bet the girl when she was dreaming of Vegas, Hawaii, Sydney or London never thought she'd end up with a bloke who takes her to Blackburn to get married. Ah well. Winners and losers in this life!

    Is there anything I have missed off here?

    When I submit the application, presumably it will give me an address to which I need to send all this paperwork?

    All the Miss Adobo has in her possession are her 2 passports (she got a new one in Oct/Nov last year) plus various other bits of ID. What else might she need when she heads down to Manila?

    Thanks in advance for any help. Aside from the enjoyable political bickering, the information here is really invaluable!

    yep--settlement -marriage.
    when youre satisfied with the application--you submit and it takes you through the next steps stage by stage.

    have you done the sponsorship form yet ? ( https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/270484/VAF4A-Appendix2.pdf )


    send all paperwork to sheffield. ( https://www.vfsglobal.co.uk/philippines/pdf/Visa-application-center.pdf ) she prints off--and signs her copy of vaf4av and takes it and the rest of the ensuing paperwork to vfs with her passports.

    Good morning everyone,

    I'm a newbie and I'm hoping if you could answer my question. We're planning to submit fiance visa application this coming February and this forum is really a great guide. :) However I'm just confuse on this part: What documents should I submit for scanning and what are the documents should my fiancee be sending directly to Sheffield?

    Thank you all in advance.

    hi--welcome to the forum

    with submitting documents--you need to decide whats best for you--then its either ALL sent to Sheffield--or ALL taken to vfs for scanning. either way--it will mean posting documents either to or from the philippines to the UK.
    if you decide to send to sheffield--then vfs will not scan any--at all--just take your passport(s) and printed , signed application form.

    Hello bigmac and big thanks for your prompt response! :)

    One more question though, I just scanned and printed the signed cover letter of my fiancee, her passport and other docs, is that okay? Or do I need to have it certified by a solicitor?

    These are the things that we have right now.. please see attached..

    Since we have read that VFS scanning for UK settlement is no longer available, I have to post all documents to my fiancée (in the UK). Is there something missing from our list that we haven't added yet?? I will complete all the things I could and then she will complete the rest once she has the documents, she will then post it to Sheffield from there as Priority.

    Now, submitting the documents, what's the best to do? Should I submit the application and make an appointment to VFS first for them to check the ALL the documents or should I post the documents to my fiancée ASAP??? It's so confusing and stressful!

    Please help us! ;(
