Sponsorship undertaking form necessary??
Last minute question,
Am I (the sponsor) required to fill out form SU07/12 Sponsorship undertaking form and submit it for the spouse visa.
I'm sure I read it somewhere here on this forum that it's not required anymore for the spouse visa... but looking at the official gov website it looks like you do.
Honest answer please from someone who has just applied or knows his stuff....Please!!

Re: Sponsorship undertaking form necessary??
Also BritinParis I saw on another post you said it wasn't necessary but could you direct me to a link or directly quote from the gov website to back your claim? (Sorry, asking in the nicest possible way)
It states, 'use form SU07 to support the application of a person who is applying to come to the UK to visit or settle.
This form is to confirm that you will be responsible for the applicants maintenance, accommodation and care, without relying on public funds...'
The spouse can't get public funds so it seems this form is necessary

Not really. The government will tell you what you need to complete rather than what you don't need to complete. SU07/12 is for adult dependent relatives. Your spouse is not an adult dependent relative, think parent, grandparent, etc.. However you do need to complete Appendix 2.
Sorry, but that just sounds strange!

I'm sure nobody intentionally lies 
But still looking for the bit on the gov website where it says the SU07 is just for dependent relatives.

You've had advice from Brit in Paris, the most knowledgeable and respected poster on BE. No one here can add more, so you might want to consult a registered migration agent if you still have doubts.

On the following website
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigrat...family-members
under: Adult dependent relative
there is the statement under Financial requirements:
E-ECDR.3.2. If the applicant’s sponsor is a British Citizen or settled in the UK, the applicant must provide an undertaking signed by the sponsor confirming that the applicant will have no recourse to public funds, and that the sponsor will be responsible for their maintenance, accommodation and care, for a period of 5 years from the date the applicant enters the UK if they are granted indefinite leave to enter.
The sponsor signs SU07 to undertake this responsibility:
https://www.gov.uk/government/public...cant-form-su07
This form is to confirm that you will be responsible for the applicant’s maintenance, accommodation and care, without relying on public funds:
for at least 5 years, if they are applying to settle
throughout their stay in the UK, if they are applying to visit
Form SU07 is not mentioned as form which has to be included with spouse settlement applications.

Re: Sponsorship undertaking form necessary??
Hi everyone, Can you please tell me if you need to submit SU07 form for a child who is part of spouse application with one child dependant? I read somewhere that in this case the child is automatically granted indefinite leave to remain? is that correct? if so, isn't it necessary to fill in SU07 form alongside Appendixes I and II ?
Thank you in advance for any help.
