Should I declare that I have been in a Trust Deed in my letter of sponsorship for Fiancee’s Visa application?
Simon C asks the question: My Fiancee’ lives in Philippines, we have been in an LDR for 3 years and we plan to Marry in July (Yes, we have met on a number of occasions)
All the paperwork is ready for submission to the UK Embassy in Manila, including my last 6 months payslips and Bank statements.
Due to personal and financial problems three years ago, I took out a Trust Deed (an IVA) and this will come to and end in February. MY Finances, since 2008, have been healthy, I have take home pay of £2220 per month from my main job and other sources of income, I have a mortgage, car loan and tall my bank statements show that my finances are ok, (money at the end of the month, no overdraft, no bank charges etc etc, no money from public funds).
I am unsure, however, if I should mention on my letter of Sponsorship that I have been in a trust deed (and include the letter that confirms its termination in Februray), or if the Embassy will look at the overall “picture” of my finances. I’m worried that informing them that I have been in a trust deed will compromise the Visa application, but on the other hand, if I don’t mention it any detail, will that be regarded as being dis-honest ?
All our other paperwork is exactly “by the book” and I’m just not sure how to proceed.
Thankyou !
Answer:To be on the safe side, I would include this information on the trust deed. Better you disclose it than them finding out and disqualifying your application.(Immigration)
