FLR(M) married partner - less than 2 years living together

[magill]

Hi,


My wife is applying for a Spouse Visa, we're unsure about what evidence we need to supply in relation to proof of living together.

I'm born British, shes Chinese and been on a tier 2 working visa for 4 years.

We have been living together for about 1.5 years. I "technically" lived at home before this while
She rented (In the UK).


Do we need to provide proof of address for the past 2 years or only for the time we've lived together?

So far we are providing

• Both
  Multiple Bank statements from Joint Account over the 1.5 years
  
  Her
  Doctors Letter
  Phone Contract letter
  Seperate Bank Statement from personal account
  Sky Bill
  
  Me
  Pension Letters
  Tax Summary
  Phone Contract Letter
  Seperate Bank Statement

Will we have to submit proof of address from before this period of living together?

There is no requirement of '2 years living together' if you are married. This mandatory requirement is for Unmarried Partner visas.

Simply submit what you have since marriage to prove subsisting relationship and cohabitation.

Hi CR001, just to clarify, to date, as along as I am married to my wife we do not need to provide evidence of 2 years living together? I have been worried about this!

And evidence of subsisting relationship and cohabitation is sufficient?

Note: I will be making my application early May 2018
Thanks.

1. Kindly refrain from digging up old topics, not related to your circumstances. The poster in this thread was newly married and switching in country to a spouse visa so slightly different rules apply.

2. I will comment in your topic.
