Hi all,

Can anyone help me as to the additional letters (ie, explanation of income, timeline of relationship)
How have you all started the letters, whom should I address them to?
Should I add a cover letter along with the application, Inland?

Thanks :)

When we needed to explain something and there was no space below specific question, we used word document, and we putted form's number, question's number and question itself in header,, also sponsor's or applicant name, if i remember correctly, and we just wrote explanation below. We added those papers just after the form to which they were referring to.

Personally, though I did file outland, unless it specifies that you need a cover letter I wouldn't bother with it. There will be plenty of papers and forms for you to worry about and I don't know how much bearing it would have on your application or whether it would speed it up or not. Which is unlikely. The point is, don't make extra work for yourself as the officer with your file will rearrange it however they were trained to do or what works for them. But that's my personal opinion and how I did mine.

When i carried out this stage i put in the box to find the attached (Then put form, Q nr, section etc on the heading of the pages (Including subsequent pages)) and wrote it out on a Word document, these things can end up taking up a lot of space so it was seen as the clearest way to answer the question.

I did try to keep the format simple, they aren't looking for anything other than facts in this area in my opinion.
