communication question

[mocool]

Hi,

I am sponsoring my wife and we have been married and living together for 6 years. How do you suggest I answer the question of how we communicated when we were not together. Can I just write we have been living together so N/A and show proofs through pictures and airline tickets that show that we have flown together maybe 10 times since our marriage plus joint bank accounts etc.?

Thanks again for all of you help,

Mocool

Re: comunication question

Do you have any correspondence with each other? Emails, or even Facebook messages? If not, just explain yourself why you don't have any evidence. There's another question about pictures and plane tickets, so those will already be included.

the only correspondence that we have are cards. We dated for 3 months and were engaged for another 3 months...

Try to think of more recent communication you may have had, even if they are routine for you at this point.
For example, have you taken any vacations where you aren't together during which you may have called each other, e-mailed, texted, or sent letters to each other?
D you ever call/text/e-mail when you are in the same city but at work, grocery shopping, running errands that you could briefly mention?

You could say n/a, but my gut (no facts backing this up) would suggest that if you get a very picky officer it may make him/her more skeptical initially than a simple statement with a couple sentences along the lines of: we live together but during the day we call each other/text/e-mail/whatever if we need to get ahold of each other at work. Other than that we haven't been apart one night since we got married 6 years ago.

What do you think?

Just show evidence you live together (bills addressed to both your names, things addressed with the same address).
Any times where you weren't living together during the 6 years --- if one of you went away for the weekend or whatever - provide phone records or texts or emails during that time. They might not believe that in 6 whole years you spend every single day and night together - but if you can provide enough evidence to show you lived together for 6 years, I don't think any reasonable person would question why there are no communication records (if you're livin under the same roof!!)

We couldn't get bills in our name since everything is still in the landlord's name, soooo....we provided a copy of our rental contract and scans of our ID cards for where we live (gated community). Loads of pics with us in our apartment...etc...should be enough...
