Hi everyone,
I have just recieved my UK ancestry visa a couple days ago. (I currently live in Hong Kong, so I applied here).
I used this webiste alot to get info when I was applying, I just wanted to share a list of what I included I my application for anyone else currently applying for their's...
-all the birth/marriage certificates they requested (my original B.C. long form birth cert did not include my parent's name on it, so I ordered a new one that did. If you pay a bit more they can ship it by courier within 24hrs)
-a letter from my boyfriend (who is from the UK) saying that he would financially support me if needed and that I would stay with him and his parents rent free until we found a place of our own.
-a letter from his parents confirming this
-a utilitly bill from his parent's confirming their address in the UK
-a letter from a friend in the UK that works in the same industry as me saying that she would help me network and introduce me to people there to help me find job
-a letter of intent that I intend to find employment in the UK
- I don't keep my bank statements (I also included a note that explained this), so I included my pay slip's from my last 3 months of work and a certificate of balance from my bank with the balance of my bank account (only about $3000 canadian)
-and obviously, my canadian passport
I know alot of people say that you need at least 3 months bank statements and that you should prove that you've been applying for jobs over there as well, but I didn't have these and it was fine. I would guess it probably helped that I have my boyfriend over there as well maybe?
Anyway, all of this worked for me. Good luck!
