Do you have any suggestions/recommendations on what to do or say in the TRV application that could help in getting it approved? Anything to mention in letters, or what additional proof to submit?
Your response is greatly appreciated.
Just be honest with your story in the application. I cited that due to COVID-19 the Spousal Sponsorship is taking longer than usual and I would like my spouse to be able to visit me during this time. Acknowledge in the application that you have applied for spousal sponsorship and also lay out a plan why your spouse will not overstay his/her visa. My spouse is finishing her residency so I listed that as a reason she will not be over-staying and will head back to Pakistan to complete this.
Did not attach any additional proof. I just attached what was required in the application.
Timeline: Applied in October 2020, got approved in February 2021. I hope this helps.
