Hi!
Here's my story. I'm in a conjugal relationship for almost 2 years now, my partner is in Canada (Permanent Resident) and I'm in the Philippines. In short were in a Long Distance Relationship. Our relationship started back in August 05,2011, we've been living together for a month and 4 days to be exact before she left to Canada. On Sept. 9,2011 she went to Canada together with dad (her father). Even if she's in Canada we constantly call each other, we use Skype, everday even while were sleeping since we different time zone. We even use YM, Facebook, emails and letters. Even if we're apart from each other we still celebrate special occasions such as, monthsaries,anniversaries, birthdays and so on. Last Sept. 16,2012 she visited me here in our country. On Sept. 22, 2012 we went to Baguio to have a Holy Union Ceremony together with our family and closes friends. We called it Holy Union because same sex marriage is not legally acceptable in our country. Sept. 30, 2012 she has to go back in Canada bec of work. And after almost 2 months she again came back last Dec. 29,2012just to be with me again, she actually quit her job just to be with me. We had our very first New year together, and we went for a vacation out of town, in Cebu for 4 days. Our first Valentines together, we get to celebrate our monthsary ever month and my birthday together. She stayed for almost 7 months and went back again in Canada last July 24, 2013 because her parents needs her. Last August 5,2013 we celebrated our 2nd anniversary. Since then we see and talk to each other almost everday with our bestfriend SKYPE
. By the way, I have a son he's turning 3 on sept 19. We have lots of evidence such as pictures, letters, emails, our boarding pass during out trip, my VIP pass in NAIA, photocopied of passports with entry and exit stamps, our holy union cert, remittances and we also have joint account, but since were living in her parents house all the utilities are in her parents name, but we have one telephone and broadband bills are under my name. Were actually planning to apply for conjugal relationship.
So, my question is the minimun requirement to say that ww tried living together as commonlaw is min 1 year, but becuase we didn't meet that certain requirement will that affect our application? And also, I have a US visa can it helps me to be approved, cause they can see that I'm eligible.
thank you! I'm looking forward for your feedback about our situation.
