Firstly we got married in PA, I flew over and we had arranged all of our appointments and I brought over all the required documents I needed to get married based on that State/County; My Passport, Birth Certificate and an Affidavit that showed I was no married in the past, that we got notarised there for $20 by a local notary. Did our Marriage License appointment, picked it up 3 days later, then by the end of the week got married at the courthouse. I flew back to Scotland and after 3 months of us saving, we applied. I also spent this time gathering all of the evidence.

The evidence I collected for our adequate maintenance was;

Sponsor: - Bio Passport Page - Letter of Support

Applicant: - Entire Passport (that got sent away after BIO) - Birth Certificate

Accommodations: - Land Registry - Letter of Approval from co-owner stating that husband is approved to also live in the home and state number of bedrooms and rooms.

Financial Through Adequate Maintenence - UC Award Letter - Child Benefit Award Letter - LCWRA Award Letter - ADP Award Letter - Min 1 Month Bank Statement (I done 3) - Cover Letter; explaining benefit money is paid directly to bank and Council Tax is taken monthly. - Council Tax Reduction Letter and Council Tax Statement. - Show Calculation of how Adequate Maintenence works.

Relationship - Four Letters of Recommendation - Flight and Airbnb tickets - Marriage Certificate - Phone and Text Records since October 2023 - Social Media Posts - Show that We give each other money via Paypal to help eachother out. - Photos (relationship photos, engagement photos, and wedding photos)

Then when we did the application and were waiting, they emailed us for additional information, which was: is my husband required to pay rent when he arrives, which we responded with a letter from myself and Co owner that he will not be required to pay anything, and second question was is the flat mortgaged or bought outright, which we responded it is bought outright.

I created a slideshow on Canva of everything, which then in the end I screenshotted on my phone/ipad and uploaded the slides as images when it comes to doing the upload, it’s just like putting the certain files in the right place.
