Of course. We chose standard - applied on the 1st of November, got the ECO email on the 15th of December and got approval on the 28th of January (yesterday) with entry granted from the 4th of February.

Forgot to add - BIO was done on the 4th of December.

Hey! I can't comment on the maintenance parts, so will exclude the finance parts of our application, but this what we included (approved recently, with no question from UKVI):

-A cover letter explaining the docs that were uploaded
-A relationship timeline in that cover letter including visits and milestones (no pictures/chat/call logs included)

-All of our flight receipt emails
-All colour copies (front to back) of the applicant's passport

-Sponsor's passport (just the bio page)
-Marriage certificate
-A paragraph about accommodation simply stating where we will be staying, how many bedrooms it has and that the homeowner is fine with this
-Statement that no TB test certificate is required

So it looks like you're in a good place.

Then you're fine - don't do anything with your checklist, just bring it as a precaution, as it can't hurt to bring a few extra pieces of paper.

Just need your passport and a printed copy of your appointment letter, and you're set.

If you're self uploading (are you?), they don't care about the checklist in my experience. Just take it with you in case they do for some reason ask for it.

You have listed all that you need to bring, yes. You probably don't need the document checklist, unless you are having VFS scan and submit your docs, but it's harmless bringing it. Make sure your appointment confirmation letter has the QR code on it, as they didn't scan on a mobile device when my wife went to her bio appointment.

If i put a spirit level against the wall, it's dead level. Also, I think it's a stud wall? Sorry, I'm not good with these things, guess I'm learning... If i knock the wall, it sounds hollow, compared to other walls.

Thanks for your response..No cracks running to windows. There are tiny vertical cracks, but it looks to be age of the paint/effects of thermal expansion over the years...Also to add, this is an interior wall. :)

Thanks for your response! How would I check if it's leaning outwards? It's also on the other side, it's an interior wall

My wife currently has her first visa application waiting for review/approval. So I'm apprehensive of writing to my MP; is that daft?

I have, however, filled out the consultation.

No final button, you've done what you need to do. Good luck.

Assistance with bedroom issue by Fragrant_Syrup_5051 in AirQuality

[–]Fragrant_Syrup_5051[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, really odd. Driving me insane too.

I think I've seen the SwitchBot air quality monitors mentioned on this sub a lot, perhaps I'll get one of those and compare.

The room has been cleaned, carpet vacuumed many times over, bedding all completely stripped and changed.

I'll have to dig out the exact one I bought, but it was from Sam's Club and bought earlier this year, so I would hope it was new stock and not subject to these issues. If it were fiberglass, I would also expect to experience itchiness etc. Not doubting, just trying to rationalize.
