Categories of Evidence

When compiling your spouse or fiancé visa application, it’s essential to paint a comprehensive picture of your relationship through various types of evidence.

Financial Evidence might include joint bank account statements, shared utility bills, or insurance policies naming your partner as a beneficiary, which underscore your financial interdependence.

Affection Evidence should capture the emotional depth of your bond through photos, heartfelt letters, gifts exchanged, and testimonials from friends and family that vouch for your relationship.

Communication Proof is crucial, especially for couples who live apart; this can be detailed call logs, text message histories, and email exchanges that show consistent and ongoing communication.

Physical Visits provide tangible proof of your commitment to each other, demonstrated through travel receipts like plane tickets and passport stamps which document your efforts to be together.

Finally, if applicable, Co-habitation Evidence such as joint leases or home ownership documents can solidify your case by showing you’ve established a shared living arrangement.

Ideal Quantity of Evidence

A balanced compilation of 6-10 robust pieces of evidence typically forms a strong application. However, the quality of the evidence can be more crucial than the quantity. The goal is to provide a clear, believable narrative of your relationship that resonates with the immigration officers.

What Happens Next?

Every couple’s story is different, and thus, their evidence will vary. Couples with children or long-term financial entanglements might need fewer documents, while those in newer relationships may need to provide more comprehensive proof to illustrate their commitment.
