Subsistence of marriage - Tier 2 dependant application

Post by vrai » Tue May 23, 2017 1:32 pm

Dear Team,
I am applying for tier 2 dependant application.
My wife will be coming to India for marriage. We are doing court marriage in order to submit visa application quickly with the marriage certificate.

We got engaged last year in July. She visited India 3 times last year for the engagement and marriage preparation purpose.

In addition to marriage certificate what other evidence I should submit to support our marriage relationship during visa application.

I would be grateful for your help.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Evidence of face-to-face contact between you and how you keep in touch during your time apart.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Thanks for your reply.

If I submit her passport page showing 3 times entry in India in 2016 with flight tickets copy, also just me and her engagement photographs, skype screenshot for last 3 months.

Is this sufficient?
Please suggest.

Only last 3 months evidence if communicatuon is likely not sufficient.

You should have provided a lot more.

Dear team,
Thanks for your reply.

Since she is in UK, we both contact only via skype.
Please suggest how many months of skype conversation shall I submit?


I would be grateful for your reply.

Skype, whatsapps, FB etc, should be a selection of screenshots from when your relationship started.

Recently a member was refused for not providing sufficient evidence of subsisting relationship.

Dear team,
Thanks for your reply.

We both are not active on wats app and fb.

I have skype chat conversation with her since April 2015 till date which is around 1400 word document pages. I have copied skype chat conversation on Word document. Can I submit print out of skype chats copied on word document or do I need to submit screenshots of skype chat?

Also,I am attaching 6 photographs of just me and her. And attaching her passport stamping page of her visit to India last year 3 times with flight tickets. Is this ok?

Please advise.

No, not copied into Word. It must be screenshots. A Word document can be edited.

Thanks team for your help and advise.

If I submit skype chat screenshots since 2015 till today; I have managed now to get 2 FB screenshots of us during 2010 and 3 FB screenshots in Jan 2017; then 6 photographs just me and her; and her passport stamped pages entering India in last year with flight tickets.
Please suggest, this much evidence will be ok for visa application?

Also, is it ok to submit skype chat screenshot of both of us from my wife skype account? Is this ok?

I would be grateful for your advise.
