Help with proof of relationship

hi guys can any one please give some advice on the proof of relationship please I have pics messenger messages and emails is this enough thanks

Hello.
Have you met in person? Photos on hols? Receipts for hotel accommodation? Flights?
Good luck I'm sure others will give you plenty of advice.

Yes we have met we are married I haven't got many receipts

Lol not much more proof needed then surely?

Thanks for your help

Supply all those and any receipts for flights, hotels gifts youve sent to the Philippines,dont overdo the chat logs by sending reams.

if you send your wife any financial support--say this in the application--and show it if its on your bank statements.

Saw this in the gov.uk website saying you don't generally need to send Skype and Whatsapp messages

Interesting
weve used skype logs also on leaving philippines to hong kong, for relationship proof
i believe for certain visas theres a need to prove continuing/regular contact
also be wary many documents may not be returned, was case in visit visa,so notarise copies of documentsyou need back, vfs for some visas will xerox and then accept the copies i think, need to be there early then and separate those crucial documents
for support i use moneygram they have a nice summary you can print

mostly its the fiancee visa ( settlement:marriage ) that you need to show proof of genuine relationship---but you only have to have met once ! and proof of "ongoing devotion " in our case--we were apart for nearly 2 years before she applied for fiancee visa. we showed facebook chat history--about a page per month--plus proof i was ££ supporting her.

but before that--we had lived together for about a year on 2 separate visas--and got engaged.

In my Fiancee visa application we submitted these :
But we just choose and screenshots the skype chat history and other messages and paste it in A4 size

EVIDENCE OF RELATIONSHIP

• Screenshots of Friend Request
• Screenshots of Facebook Life Events and Posts
• Screenshots of Skype chat history and Video calls
• Screenshots of Hotmail messages ,Yahoo Emails and Viber Chats
• Screenshots of FB posts and conversation with My Fiance's Parents
• Screenshots of FB conversation of My Fiance with my Brother and My conversation with My Fiance's siblings
• Photos together and with Family
• Screenshots of Our Flights itinerary ,Hotel bookings and Money Transfer Emails Etc

I hope this helps

I'd have to censor a lot before submitting FB chats

Me too...!!!

Is evidence of financial support sent to your fiancée or partner/future spouse a positive or negative piece of evidence to support the fiancée visa application? It would seem to contradict the requirement for the applicant to be financially 'secure'...!

Not sure where you read the statement that says the applicant has to be financially secure coz only the sponsor's financial capability is taken into account when applying for a settlement visa. I know a lot of people submitted money remittances as part of evidence and they all got the visa no problem.

Ah OK.
That's the major difference between a Tourist/Visitor Visa - where, despite a sponsor (Me!) proving that I am financially able and prepared to support my gf throughout her stay in the UK, the Visa was refused because she was not considered 'financially stable' - and a Fiancée/Spouse/Settlement Visa!

I included evidence .. highlights in my bank statements..showing I was supporting my fiancee each month. It's not essential..but I thought it demonstrates proof of a serious relationship.

Good point! Thanks.

Yes I was also refused visit visa last year because they said I am not financially stable even though they believe that my sponsor can support me. Silly but anyway I’ve moved on from that.

When you say "... I’ve moved on from that." - what was your next step? Just curious!
