Do pbs dependants need Photo evidence of relationship?

Post by JVilla87 » Wed Sep 26, 2018 10:46 am

Hi my wife recently had a job offer in the UK. the company is an A rated sponsor, and we are going to our visa interviews in a few weeks. i havent found anything on the official guidelines on Photo evidence or chat logs being necessary for the interview. but ive read several cases in which they presented it. should i start getting this kind of evidence together?

Do you mean a visa application or a visa interview? AFAIK There are no interviews for Tier 2 out of country applications unless it's a complex case and the Case Officer wants to talk to the applicant.

Regarding the proof, it depends on when you were married. If you were living together for 2 years and can prove that through utility bills, tenancy agreements, that should be sufficient along with your marriage registration certificate.

If you got married recently, then you have to provide proofs of cohabitation if living together and also evidence of a subsisting relationship. There is no official documents checklist for this but people usually provide photos of trips taken together, communication through whatsapp/messenger, call logs etc

Voluntary. Not required but would help an otherwise complex case, which would be dictated by the circumstances.

Hey, rubyracer2, what do you mean here? A non-national of UK can't apply for Tier 2 inside UK, right?

You have to go back to your country and apply from there. Are there rarely any interviews for Tier 2 Applicants in or out of country? What about dependants.. doesn't a dependant always get an interview?
