Sending it off tomorrow!  Thought I’d share what this is.  This big binder is my next visa application.  But how do you make one?  Well it takes two years of prep.  First, collecting two years worth of mail in my name and the hubby’s from official sources (ie bills, statements, etc). Then, a 17 page application. Next is every official document you’ve ever had, from birth cert to marriage cert, and your passport.  Add in a generous portion of financial proof, from bank statements to pay slips.  And finally top off with a £830 fee.  Stir vigorously, allow to bake for 3-4 months. Serves 1.
