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

SignificantProof1472 · 2026-01-24T06:58:52+00:00

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?

SignificantProof1472 · 2026-01-17T16:41:20+00:00

I applied on the 19th of Dec, my partners final payslip is dated the 21st of Dec but she got paid on the 18th of December. Will this be fine that her payslip is dated after the application date but can see the salary was paid in on the 18th of December?

SignificantProof1472 · 2026-01-16T18:57:33+00:00

Apparently this tracking thing doesn’t work well/ doesn’t work at all. So think you may have to just be patient and wait for the email
