I have waited for their email, but didn't receive any... So I gave them 4 days allowance. I arrived at their office about 8am, they told me to come back at 2-3 pm but I managed to talk to their manager to release my documents.
So they released the documents before the said time? Seems that lack of communication is always the problem. No info about the time found in their website. Thanks for the info ja, appreciated it.
I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I'm off to work now, and about to submit my notice of resignation

Thank you very much for posting that, Anne. You really submitted lots! It's a bit awkward when you go with an agency because we've been told by them that much of the stuff people send isn't necessary. I feel that we should trust them as we've paid for their service, but it's still good to have a list that we can cross-reference and ask questions about. Thank you
i bet most of it doesnt even get glanced at. apart from all those visa apps kept pending the court decision on the earnings rule---4000 odd i read somewhere----does anyone know the percentage of refusals---other than on the earnings rule---with spouse / fiancee visa apps ?
There's a lot of info here, but not that exact point I don't think :/ I'm trying to find out too. https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...ion-statistics-january-to-march-2014#family-1
Thats what I was told. "You can add this or that, but it wont add any weight to your application" was the expression I heard several times. But yes, it is great to have as much input as possible.
Yes. I dont think they have the time. Kuya looked into it and the amount of time allocated to each visa application is quite small, evidently.
After reading through the list Anne provided I could only find one thing missing ...................... the kitchen sink Did the job though, that's all that counts, 1 x happy nurse on her way to the UK

With the old rules there was a lot of emphasis on proof of residual income and ability to live within ones means, hence the bank statements. At that time no TB certification was required. Remember it was for a spouse visa and not a fiance visa
