I SO appreciate the concise list you have made of the necessary documents needed for the spouse visa. Thank you Thank you Thank you! One question...my husband and I have been married and thus living together for the last 13 years. You state that we need to submit proof of living together for the entire length of time. What's the best way to do that since it's been so long? Do we need to submit 13 years of something to meet this requirement? In addition, what's the suggested number of documents proving relationship (bills, mortgage, etc) to submit? Thank you so much!
Normally we recommend sending 1-2 items of mail addressed to both of you at the same address for each year you have lived together.
For example:
- annual tax return (the page with your names and address on it)
- a utility bill
You can also use things like rental agreements, house deeds and mortgage statements
