Spouse Visa - Quick questions

Post by November14 » Fri Nov 15, 2013 9:17 am

Hello, I have two questions about applying for a Spouse Visa if anyone has the time to help!

1) What do you need to prove a 'genuine and subsisting relationship'? My husband is Israeli, we were living together in Israel for the last 2 years with our two (British) children. Now I have come back to the UK as we want to move here in the long term. So what documents do we need to prove this relationship?

2) My main plan is to work and obtain the 6 months payslips necessary. I am curious though about this part in the guidelines:
7.2.1. Savings must be held in cash in a personal bank/savings account in the name of the applicant, their partner or the couple jointly. The savings can be from any legal source, including a gift from a family member or other third party, provided the source of the cash savings is declared.
If my mother raised money on her house and then gifted the money to me, and I left it in my account for the 6 months, would that be sufficient to meet the cash savings requirement?
Many thanks

Amber

Proof of living together (letter to same address, rent agreement, mortgage papers) picutures, children's birth certificates...
Were you apart prior to staying in Israel? Do you have proof of contact during that time?

We lived together in England for 1 year prior to going to Israel. We got married during that year and had our first child. We have photos but I'm not sure if we have much post addressed to both of us. For the 2 years in Israel we have a flat lease with both of our names on it.
