And missing each other while being apart is not a fact? Who are you kidding? They want to know that the relationship is genuine and subsisting and I don't see any problem saying about missing each other in a letter.
You're talking complete girlie nonsense, the UKVI are there to do a very important job, part of which is not having an interest whether or not a couple is missing each other, bloody obvious really.
Lol you make me laugh. The suggestion was not for you in the first place. The OP is very welcome to accept it or not. And just because you don't do silly girly stuff saying about missing each other in a letter doesn't give you the right to reject someone else's opinion and call it nonsense.
I said it was girlie nonsense that the UKVI would not have the slightest interest in, and that is a fact young boy.
Brom is correct. Telling them about your relationship is part of the cover letter you should do. Saying you miss each other may not be essential but it is a perfectly valid thing to put as part of your description of an existing relationship.
Oh no, another big girl, you boys need to man up you really do. The case worker dealing with applications must have a box of tissues on their desk ready for reading your irrelevant love stories
If we feel like putting that in the letter then we are very welcome to do so. If you don't feel like it then we couldn't really care less. We will please the ECO not you. If they read it that's not up to you.
My point was, that including complete and utter dribble will not help with the application in the slightest and will not please the case worker, might make him cry though
Have you been on the sauce Timmers? It is a good idea to expose your girly emotions if, unlike poor Timmers, you have some. I would say cover all your bases. You may have a strong enough application in other areas not to get all mushy but if you have that covered too then go for it. Our spectacular first time refusal stated that had we done this our application might have been looked on more favourably. That was enough info for me. I went Mills &Boon on their arses second time round.
Soppy love stories don't do it for me I'm afraid Graham, just supplying what the UKVI ask for, nothing more nothing less is the way to go about the application. Shall I write a girlie love letter to the UKVI for when we go for the FLR on Wednesday? Another thing, I would like one of you girlies to point me to a Government form that says we have to write any letters at all for the application, hearsay is not good enough or your advisor saying it is a good idea. I eagerly await the UKVI information
As I said, it may not be essential but can certainly help - particularly if the application is weak in other areas. Don't worry Timmers. You will find your emotions one day. It will be a special moment for you.
Seriously though (because clearly that isn't serious as you said you were tough when we all know you're a big girl's blouse really) I would say that advice given to people here should be as thorough and low risk as possible. Cover all bases. Can't go wrong then. Feel the love.
We are much aware it is not mentioned in any government form, but you can wait forever if you want. I believe we are all making a point in here and I will stick with what I believe and again you can stick with yours.
what i did--as sponsor--was type up a ONE PAGE letter--a sort of timeline of our relationship--dates of events--like how we met--when we got engaged--our time apart--stressing the genuineness of our relationship which endured a long time apart. but dont go writing a novel !
Me and my 'fiance' (as I guess she was at that time although I've never really liked that term) both wrote out the story of our relationship so we could both submit one. When I received hers it was 9 pages long!! I eventually edited it down to about 3 but even that is possibly lengthy, but we both enjoyed writing them actually.
