My application for conjugal partner did include a copy of my separation agreement.
We never disclosed that our decision to apply as conjugal partner was a decision made because we believed it was the fastest/easiest way to go. Like gummyfish, our relationship was real and we felt it was a real longlasting commitment but for many reasons did not feel "a piece of paper" showing a marriage was needed to convince us that we were in a real relationship.
In retrospect, even though it initially felt that we were forced into the marriage to satisfy immigration's need for that piece of paper, neither of us have any regrets. Once we starting planning a wedding and writing our vows, and all that goes with an event like that, we began to get excited. We through ourselves into it wholeheartedly. It may have not been the wedding we would have planned had things turned out differently, but we enjoyed our wedding, as did the family and friends that attended.
It feels unnatural to get married and live apart, but our bond is strong and we hope to be successful this time.
Good luck to all. :-* ;D
