Hello! Advice for common law please
Hi there,
I've been reading these threads for a while now, and can't tell you how useful this information has been!
I'm Canadian living in the UK and want to sponsor my common-law-partner. We've been living together for 18 months now and should have enough info to prove this.
The first question I wanted to ask is how long will getting my paperwork together take?
We have booked the doctors appointment for next week and about to get police checks done. What I think might take long is getting together supporting docs from friends and family.
I was hoping to get at least 15 separate letters confirming our relationship.
Is it ok to draft it for them and they can fill in dates, relationships, etc - or does will this look odd to immigration officers?
Also - how personal should they be? Can they just be the facts?
I'm sure I'll have a lot more questions for you lovely bunch, but that's it for now.
Looking forward to sharing my trials and tribulations with this group.
Thanks!
