Only those documents specified in the application form and set out in detail in the Immigration Rules relevant to

this application need to be provided.

It is only necessary to submit evidence that is directly appropriate to the application as requested, as unrelated

evidence cannot be considered for points scoring.

The applicant must be selective in submitting evidence, as sending large amounts of irrelevant or

poor quality documentation may delay the consideration of the application.

Any documentary evidence that the applicant provides should be original (unless otherwise stated).

Where a document is not in English, the original must be

accompanied by a fully certified translation by a professional translator. This translation must include

details of the translator’s credentials and confirmation that

it is an accurate translation of the original document. It must also be dated and include the original signature of

the translator.
