Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote: ↑Mon Jul 19, 2021 2:42 pm PPP, you don't clarify your specific circumstances (country aiming to go to, tourism or immigration, planning on getting married or not etc). It sounds like you're trying to bring her over for good. Are your married/planning on getting married? Or just want her to visit you? Have you guys travelled together? That always helps. Or maybe a small family plot an be put under her name (they have no way of knowing the value, but it helps)?

There's a myriad of questions about my wife there @Bitte_Kein_Lexus, be careful that you don't come across as an immigration official?

As you've taken the time to write two quite long thoughtful replies (which I've cropped to keep the post short) I'll try and answer your questions as best as I can.

When doing the spousal visa for immigration my wife was working at Grand Waterfront Hotel. She worked as the main receptionist, and in a much shorter spell whilst waiting for the outcome of the tribunal as bar and restaurant supervisor. I can't remember her salary, it must have been $150-$300 pcm, anyway irrespective of that with tips you could treble that. Her employer letter obviously didn't state the tips as evidence as those would be hard to show.

My wife has been abroad more than a dozen times (several of which have been with me). Loads of stamps and visas evidence this. We were officially married in the U.K. within 6 months of her arrival and she has considerable assets. For more info on my wife see the link below.

You met your wife when she was sitting outside her cousin's bar on Christmas eve, She has been abroad over a dozen times ( a couple of times with you)
She had a salary of $150 - $300 usd per month.. She trebled her salary with tips at her hotel job.....

You can misquote me and post your shit memes as much as you like. How about stringing two sentences together?

If you know your names, birthdays, employment & address history and can come up with evidence of actually being in a relationship (i.e. pictures), what is there to be flagged?

Maybe for translation if you can't speak English?

Better off taking a break from CEO

GMJS-CEO wrote: ↑Mon Jul 19, 2021 5:18 pm Sure, if for some reason you cannot produce the very basic documents required you will need some help. What were you missing? Your passport or birth certificate? Divorce paper? A Passport sized photo?

GMJS-CEO wrote: ↑Mon Jul 19, 2021 7:25 pm For 99% of the applicants that are a standard case, it is as simple as ticking boxes and making copies of proof, printing photos. You must have one of those "remarkable" cases that required special attention.

A "remarkable" basket case.

Oh it's the same troll as quoted above.

The OP said “west” did it not? Are you the troll that’s been copying stories posted years ago on other forums?

No issue if people disagree on the topic. Nothing to be upset over, take a calming breath and sip a beer or 3.

Firstly, I'm not a criminal nor do I have any legal issues. Never have. The documents aren't very basic and plenty of people won't have them. You also need to ensure (in the case of documents that are letters, eg from an employer) that the specific wording they are looking for is used. Your assertion that pictures are all that's needed to prove a relationship demonstrate a complete lack of understanding. As far as UK visas go, they want a utility bill with both of your names on it or a statement from a shared bank account. Plenty of legitimate couples won't have either of those.

Everything is supposed to be proven with very specific documentation that many legitimate applicants won't have. A good, experienced immigration firm can help make it a non issue without you having to guess what will suffice.

Again, we met all the criteria and if you don't then no immigration firm will be able to help you. If you do meet the requirements but don't have the very specific documentation required to prove it, a good immigration firm can and will help you find alternate ways to resolve it.

Guess we will just have to say we have vastly different experiences. I am a member of immigration-specific communities such as Visajourney and it would be widely agreed on those forums not to use an attorney unless your case has special circumstances which warrant it. Also, I said you need to include evidence, however, would never say that photos are the sole piece of evidence to be provided. It is rather one example.

As an aside, here is an older guide for what people would include as evidence. You need to prove you met in the last 2 years in person and provide evidence of relationship:

1. Copies of all airline boarding passes, train passes, itineraries, hotel receipts, passport stamps (make sure you can read the dates on the stamps), and other documentary evidence that you have met within the last two years. You may want to highlight or place post-it notes indicating the dates and locations on the copies (to make the adjudication easier) for the person reviewing your file.
2. Color Photo's of you and your fiance together. Make sure you write your names, date, and location on the back of every photo. Provide two to five photo's. If you only have a single copy of the photo, then make a color copy and send that. If it is a digital photo, have it printed at a local photo store such as Walgreens (if at all possible) or if not on a high quality printer. Place photo's in a plastic bag or photo sheet and label the sheet. Note that you may not receive originals of photo's back.
3. The following items will not typically show proof of having met in the last two years however will show proof of an ongoing relationship: Copies of land line and cell phone bills, appropriate letters and emails, stamps on the letters (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)

Yes, He is from TOF...

I’m given to understand the US now requires you to supply details of all social media profiles you use. Would you include your CEO credentials on the form?

Troll twins @Pseudonomdeplume and @ofparadise .
@GMJS-CEO and @Grand Barong
There are more. I'll expose them later. I'd rather everyone just get on, but unless they behave I will continue to tell them to foxtrot Oscar.
