Question about Relationship Evidence

[ignacioeab]

Hi all. Will be applying for my husband's dependant visa at the same time I'll be applying for a Tier 2 visa. Do I have to have sms screenshots translated to English? Not sure whether I should, or if I should just provide the screenshots with timestamps (not translated).

are u living together?
which country are u applying from

[ignacioeab]

Yes, we're living together. No utility bills though because we've taken up temporary residence in my parents' house in order to be able to settle everything before leaving for the UK. We are going to be applying from the Philippines.

i think there is no point of submitting messages.. that is generally submitted when you are apart and living in different countries.
make sure u submit official docs like marriage certificate and any other means to show that u are living together. hopefully, if u apply together, its less of a hassle.

Thanks iworker! So in terms of submitting evidence to prove that the marriage is subsisting, on top of the marriage contract, would bank statements and photos covering the entire timeline of our relationship suffice?

[iworker]

yes that should be enough

Thank you so much!!
