Does anyone know?

Does anyone know if when applying for spouse visa, British Embassy cross references Sponsor to see if that sponsor has sponsored anyone else as a spouse from a previous relationship in past?

I suspect the answer is yes, at least in some British Missions.

Which embassy are you talking about?

In any case, do appreciate that information about a previous marriage needs to be supplied as regards an application being made now.

And why do you ask? Are you thinking that sponsoring a previous spouse is some sort of bar to sponsoring the new spouse now? If so, that is not the case.

thank you John for your reply.

My opinion? On the VAF2 application form it asks :-

5.12 Has your sponsor ever been married, in a relationship like a marriage, or civil partnership?

Do ensure that is answered truthfully. (Not that I am suggesting you would do otherwise.) So did you live with your previous fiancée "in a relationship like a marriage"? If so, she needs to be mentioned. If not, I think you can omit her.

Do appreciate that the embassy will have retained the evidence previously submitted. So if that evidence includes details of the two of you living together, I really think she needs to be mentioned on the form now.

Does that make sense?
