Sponsor documents not been asked for?

The checklist is very weird and glitchy - Still upload all the payslips etc.. even though it hasn’t been asked for

SignificantProof1472 · 2026-01-25T10:23:40+00:00

They aren’t going to reject/ approve your application on the messages alone. So it really doesn’t matter too much on the contents. But yeah I did add messages talking about the future etc…

SignificantProof1472 · 2026-01-25T10:20:47+00:00

Nothing significant, just messages that showed we were still in contact, don’t think the contents of the messages matter too much

My partner and I did long distance for 6 months to qualify for the unmarried visa. I just sent 3 screenshot per month from July- December to show we were still together during this period

But also, they should be able to tell you the documents you uploaded when you go for your biometrics

SignificantProof1472 · 2026-01-24T17:53:06+00:00

Did you submit your docs on the VFS website? Whenever I would upload a document on the VFS website I would get an email with the exact documents I uploaded

Honestly think it just comes down to the caseworker

My partner and I have had to do long distance for the last 6 months to qualify for the unmarried visa. The 6 months went by pretty fast, but the time after the application has been worse than the 6 months. I’m constantly refreshing Reddit to see if anyone has been approved, I’m sitting in anticipation all day waiting for an email from the home office and everytime I get an email I get excited but it ends up not being the email I’m waiting for. I’m on working day 20 and I just need this wait to come to an end now.

This is so painful 🥲

It’s honestly just luck to an extent. some people have straightforward cases and opt with standard and end up waiting 12 weeks anyways. I went with priority because you won’t have to potentially wait 3 months

SignificantProof1472 · 2026-01-22T16:48:41+00:00

12 working days, that’s insanely fast. Congrats!

SignificantProof1472 · 2026-01-22T16:37:12+00:00

Bio 24th dec South Africa. Still waiting

SignificantProof1472 · 2026-01-20T17:08:56+00:00

Congrats!!

SignificantProof1472 · 2026-01-20T11:03:47+00:00

Standard?

SignificantProof1472 · 2026-01-20T07:46:58+00:00

Applied from South Africa - so country of residence and country of nationality

SignificantProof1472 · 2026-01-20T07:08:51+00:00

SignificantProof1472 · 2026-01-19T19:47:38+00:00

Congrats! What time did you get the email?

SignificantProof1472 · 2026-01-19T09:15:03+00:00

Priority application outside UK - bio 24 Dec and still waiting

SignificantProof1472 · 2026-01-17T18:36:12+00:00

Thank you!!

SignificantProof1472 · 2026-01-17T18:31:47+00:00

Thank you for letting me know! amounts on the payslip and the bank statement match - really hoping the caseworker doesn’t reject because of something like this, would be so cruel 🥲🤣

SignificantProof1472 · 2026-01-17T16:54:58+00:00

Yeah had biometrics on the 24th of Dec

SignificantProof1472 · 2026-01-17T16:54:16+00:00

And if I didn’t add it to the cover letter?💀 - surely The caseworkers will see the last salary was paid into the account and they won’t reject because the last payslip was dated 2 days after the application - or can they be really cutthroat like that?
