Evidence of relationship?

Since they only give us guidelines, what does everyone suggest I include as far a proving that we're happily married (well as happy as we can be being apart!) and etc. I was going to include various pictures of our relationship, wedding pictures, maybe cards, letters to and from each other. Does that sound good?

Hubby and I don't have any emails or letters to provide as evidence. All we've got are a few pictures, some cards (as well as all the shipping labels), itineraries and flight stubs from our trips back and forth and his mobile bills. The phone bill where I'm currently living isn't in my name, and I used phone cards anyway, which I recharged regularly with my debit card.

The only things we're going to hand over are a couple of pictures, his mobile bills, past itineraries / stubs and I've made a note in my 'letter of intent' to point out the phone card recharges on my bank statement.

If you're going to use photo's, I suggest you run them past one of advisers first. Garry informed me that photo's can often lead to disasters, which would not be good!

Hope that helps a little.

I had a wedding photo, cards with envelopes and printed a couple emails.  That was it.  Got my visa just fine!  Good luck

What specifically are you trying to prove?  How long have you been married?  Is one of you UK and one US and you are trying to get a Marriage Entry Clearance and them apply for an FRL-M?  Or do you already have your stuff and now you are applying for an IRL?

If you are applying for an IRL, there are some very strict guidelines, you have to provide 10 pieces of co-residency per year per person.  If both of your names appear on the item, then that counts as a piece for both of you.  There is quite a lot more discussion about this and what it takes, if you are trying for your IRL...

No we just got married (June 10th) and applying for the visa for me to come over there to live.

A couple of wedding photos and a few pieces of evidence of the relationship from before the wedding will do.  No need to go overboard.

We included travel itineraries, phone bills (both his and mine).  Here is my overboard story... I made a PowerPoint Presentation with scanned photos. I made it a point to have pictures with our friends in it. In my mind, a witness who could say they know we are together.  It really wasn't that big of a deal to do it since I had the pictures scanned already, plus it was a lot of fun.  The pictures went with the itineraries.  I just printed out the presentation and included it with the packet.

I saved the presentation onto a CD and forwarded it to several friends too.  Another printed out version went to my mom.

I think if you have an itinerary, include 1-3 pictures from that time together.    Good luck!
