Proofs of ongoing relationship

[valentinanola 17]

Hi guys,

I hope you're all well. I have my interview at the London embassy on the 10th November and we have all our documentation ready. I was just wondering if you guys recommend bringing proofs of ongoing relationship or not?

I read in most threads that London isn't fussy about that, but I still printed out our itineraries for past trips together and for our Xmas holiday. Do you think it'd be worth to print some pictures too?

Thank you

Yes you should bring proof of ongoing relationship, itineraries are not helpful you will need other evidence such as ticket stubs/passport stamps/ receipts. A few pictures could be helpful.

The question here really is will printing a few photos and taking them along make you feel more relaxed about the interview? As long as you sent some proof of ongoing relationship in with your initial petition, you don't need more for the London Embassy, but if you want to take some just in case then do it.

I speak from recent experience at the London Embassy (my interview was 30th September). I took some extra proof but it wasn't asked for, but at least I felt prepared for the eventuality that it would be needed.

I took a binder full, the CO didn't want to see a single thing

Hi Kastrs,

Thank you for your reply, but I posted on the UK thread because things change from embassy to embassy and I know that London is not as strict as others, thank you anyway.

Yeah that's exactly what I've read in other threads. Most people take a load of stuff with them just to be on the safe side, but the embassy doesn't even want to look at it. I will print a couple of pictures and our boarding passes for our last holiday, that way I'll feel more at ease

Thank you all for your help!

Hi Kastrs,

You are welcome, yes I saw where you posted, but as I have been around for a while and gone through the process twice, I figured I would help out. Does not matter what embassy you are going through easy or difficult, you never know even at easy embassies there are always a few oddball difficult interviews. So yes it is always beneficial to be over-prepared, even if it is unlikely you would be asked for additional information.

Yeah I will most deifinitely over prepare ahaha, I'm a very anxious person when it comes to this type of things. Thank you for your help, much appreciated

London won't want to see any of it. But if it makes you feel better, you can take what you'd like. They will in general ask you where and how you met, how the relationship progressed etc.

Better taken and not needed than needed and not taken
