You are over thinking. That letter from the uncle has zero value. So if you don't like its wording, just drop it from the application and don't use it.boosacnoodle wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 10:19 amHi Everyone,
I could really use some advise.
My non-eu partner and myself (eu national) are due to get married in 10 days outside of the EU.
After we get married, we will immediately apply for a Family permit under the EU settlement scheme.
We have all the required evidence needed however my concern is the HO will believe this is a marriage of convenience for 2 reasons.
Firstly, we will apply for this permit immediately after getting married.
Secondly, we have a letter of support from my uncle dated March 2020 which says the following:
''We wish them the best of luck in their upcoming marriage and life together. In that respect we fully support the couples efforts to live together in the UK''
I am wondering if this would cause reasons to believe this is a marriage or convenience as it would suggest we had plans to move to the UK many months before we got married and only 1 month after we got engaged.
We are not in a marriage of convenience but we are getting married and we want to live our lives together in the UK.
Do you guys think the letter from my uncle would make it sounds like we are in a Marriage of convenience? Do you think it would be worth asking him to re-write the letter?
Finally, as are marriage certificate is from outside the EU, do we require to get an apostille stamp or would a certified translation only suffice?
I would appreciate anyone's help.
Kind regards
Tom
Such letters of support are ignored by ukvi as they could be written by anyone. UKVI want to see your evidence of a genuine subsisting relationship, not support letters from friends and families.boosacnoodle wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 8:46 pmSorry, this is just a quote from the letter, my uncle has met my partner so it seems like a valid letter of support.
Thanks for your help
So letters from friends and family who have met my partner (with a copy of their ID) would not add any value to my case?CR001 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 8:47 pmSuch letters of support are ignored by ukvi as they could be written by anyone.
