I did last year! Lots of paperwork. Evidence of relationship over 5 year period. Photos, etc. finances on both sides. Letter from her employer stating / proving she has a job. Letter confirming date of return to work. She must go to tandy building. Hand in application. Hand in her passport. Biometric scan

Passport returned by special courier. And hey presto. We got the stamp! 🥵
