On the page of the online form for the 309/100 visa, where it gives you a series of questions with a 2000 character limit for proof of relationship etc - has anyone else used this to list the evidence they are attaching once the form is submitted?

Every required statement I have written has been over the 2000 characters so just attaching as PDF when it comes to uploading evidence.

For instance: 'Give details of the financial aspects of the relationship.':

Evidence attached as follows:

Financial aspects of the relationship, Evidence of - Joint Bank Account Statements

Financial aspects of the relationship, Evidence of - Confirmation of Joint Bank Account

Financial aspects of the relationship, Evidence of - Car Insurance Policy

Financial aspects of the relationship, Evidence of - Bank Statements

That would be a very bad idea. You should write in prose and explain how you meet each requirement. The documents you upload should support the claims you make on the form. For instance for the financial requirements you could write something like:

"We decided to move into a flat of our own in September 2013 and opened a joint bank account in October 2013 into which we both make monthly contributions to cover joint expenses such as rent and utilities."

Your case officer would then expect to see joint bank statements starting from October 2013 and a joint tenancy agreement dated September 2013 and a selection of utility bills at that address in one or both of your names over the last four years.

OK thanks! Had struggled to keep those answers under 2000 characters hence writing them as fuller statements which I was going to attach - but could always just try and write summarised answers for each of those questions.

You can always put 'See relationship statement' for each one and write a longer combined document each in Word and upload as a PDF. That being said it the 2000 character limit is deliberate. You should try and keep it short and sweet if you can. It's the evidence that you upload that will really count.

Financial aspects of the relationship, Evidence of - Joint Statement
Nature of the couple’s household, Evidence of - Joint Statement
Nature of the couple’s mutual commitment to each other, Evidence of - Joint Statement
