第一次配偶签到今年的11月18日，我在10月14日网上填写完申请表，但是10月23日才寄出文件，因为一直在等最后那个月的银行单，结果23日实在等不及了，一大早去银行打印了一张然后寄出所有文件。结果我老公告诉我中午时银行单寄到家了。。。不过问题不大，都是原件就好了。
在11月1日收到信件让我去按指纹，11月2日在邮局交了钱按指纹。等到12月7日终于收到resident permit（我以为还是像第一次那样一张纸贴到护照里，没想到是张卡，而且和护照分开寄过来）。不过护照和其他文件还没拿回，9号那天家里没人，收到未送达的信件，估计就是原件了，今天下午去邮局看看。
等待期间我倒是没啥，因为一直没有出去旅行的计划。不过我老板催了三次，弄得我心慌。我工作的公司很小，以前没碰到过我这样的情况，大老板自己也就是HR，隔一两周就发邮件问我怎么样了，文件收到没啊。。。所以一收到卡我就发给老板，免得她再催。
下面是我的文件清单（以工资达到标准申请的），希望对大家有帮助：(删掉了个人信息，X代表我，XX代表我老公) （凑地址证明有点烦，还好自从搬到英国就一直留着大部分信件，就等着这天）
