Hi,
I will be applying prior to my visa expiring Dec. 2019. I am applying Sept., Oct., or Nov. 2019.
Here is probably one of many questions I will probably have! It is regarding relationship evidence. My husband and I lived with my husband’s uncle for 6 mos. The 6 mos. falls within the last 2 years of my visa.
I read the below information on required relationship evidence and I am wondering what this phrase means, “If you and your partner lived with relatives or friends for some or all of the period you are relying on, please provide a letter from the relative(s) and/or friend(s) confirming this.” Is this letter required in addition to the evidence or instead of the evidence for that time period ? We weren’t paying rent or had any bills for those 6 months.
“If your application is as the partner of a settled person or person who is in the UK with refugee leave or humanitarian protection
Six items of correspondence addressed to you and your partner at the same address as evidence that you have been living together since your last grant of leave in this category, or from the date you first started living together up to a maximum of two years. See Note 11.
Note 11 The items of correspondence should be addressed to you jointly or in both your names. Examples of acceptable items are listed below. The documents provided must be originals.
Photocopies are not acceptable.
The dates of the items of correspondence should be spread evenly over the whole period you are relying on. They should be from at least 3 different sources. If you do not have enough items in your joint names, you may also provide items addressed to each of you individually if they show the same address for both of you.
For example - Four items of correspondence in joint names to the same address and two items addressed to each partner at the address. In total eight items would need to be submitted.
If you and your partner have no bills or correspondence in joint names, you will need to submit twelve items (six each) of correspondence, evidencing that you reside together at the same address.
If you and your partner lived with relatives or friends for some or all of the period you are relying on, please provide a letter from the relative(s) and/or friend(s) confirming this.
If you did not live together for any part of the period you are relying on, tell us the reasons for this and whether you stayed in contact with each other during this time, and provide any relevant supporting evidence.
Please give an explanation on a separate sheet if you cannot provide six items; if the items are not addressed to both of you; or if they do not cover the period you are relying on.”
