Yes, I'll have the decree in hand, for sure. We're going to adress the other issues in detail, and back them up with as much evidence as we can. :)

Yes, the plan. The reception will be more of a formal meal at a nice place, as the guest list will not exactly be overly large. The honeymoon will be in Indonesia, where we will also be bringing her family over for a few days at a resort for our celebration with them. Our dollars go a long way...

Thanks Mikemyke - it's nice to get another set of eyes on our situation. As the we lay everything out and build our relationship history for the VO, we want to make easy reference to everything we state, in the evidence, and will put extra effort in into those areas where there are red flags...

Thanks for the reply. The wedding is later this year - we are just in the evidence gathering and organizing stage right now. As for visiting here to meet my friends/family, we applied for a TR Visa for a visit in December 2012, but it was denied. I still have a copy of the application, where...

Anyone?

We will be married when the application is ready for submittal, and applying at the SVO.

In putting together our application, we want to be able to address some potential red flags, and nip any questions in the bud. We'd be very grateful for any feedback the forum could offer. Age - I'm the sponsor, male, and 13 years older. She's Indonesian, and in her mid-late thirties. We've...

Fiance now, but we're planning on an August wedding, so it will be a spousal sponsorship. We'll be applying for the PR after that, but are putting our application together now. We are in the evidence gathering stage.

Thanks, we certainly will. I guess I was looking at it as someone who wants to have the application air-tight. I envisioned being able to write my narrative, and make references to specific evidence provided (e.g., "see photo set 3, bottom left", etc.) We will make a point to flesh out in as...

A relationship will always see couples fight. It's normal. However, I think nost of us here know full well that long distance relationships add several layers of difficulty on top of that. The distance affects our ability to read body language, vocal tone, facial expression, and even the ability...

Thank you. I see you are going through SVO as well. From everything I've read, wish us luck! LOL

Neither my fiance or I still have the really early emails etc., showing the earliest and developing part of our relationship. We were online friends for months while our feelings grew, then shortly after we admitted our feelings finally, did we begin keeping everything. All I have from before we...

Hi guys! My fiance' will be asking for letters from friends/family attesting to our relationship, but with the exception of just a few, they don't speak English. Their letters will be in Javanese Bahasa. I know these letters need translating to English, but do the translations need to be...

Okay folks, I'm pulling together the relationship evidence for our application, and I have (just for email alone, not counting Skype, WhatsApp, text messages, etc.) 966 different email threads. This is huge! Do you think printing it all off is really necessary, or should I just get a cross...

Thanks all for your advice - the scanning will commence! :)

Ours will be Singapore. I've heard stories enough to raise my eyebrows with this VO.

Thank you every one for your help! This points us in the right direction - very much appreciated. :)

Just wondering if it's better to send original letters/cards, or if we can scan them and print them off that way. Also, for the gifts we've given each other, is it OK to take photographs of them and print them off? Thanks guys. (PS - this 'gathering of evidence' stage of the application...

In submitting photo evidence, we have pics of the two of us together for three different visits, as well as pics of me with her friends, family, boss, and community leader. We also have tons of shots with just one of us in the pic. 1) Do the pics submitted have to be of BOTH of us? 2) I've...

I wouldn't mind this info as well. We're in the document gathering stage for our submission to this VO, and I am somewhat worried about their timeline (OK, a LOT worried...) :o I hope you get a reply soon on this!
