On IMM0008 for my husbands family info. Do we still have to give their photos even though they aren't coming and we put not accompanying.

Also, about evidence of the relationship we're going to get my bestfriend in Canada to make one (even though shes never met my husband she knows every thing about our relationship) and also our neighbour here in the dominican republic who's also a family friend.

What should they say in the letters??

Not sure about your first question.

The letters can attest to the fact that they know your relationship is continuing and genuine. They can be heartfelt. The person writing the letter can say how they know you when or of they met your spouse, perhaps explain if you've done anything together ie. activites, travel.

You can include more than 1. Some letters from family are always good, from parents even better if possible :)

well you can't say they met when it has never happened. They will know its a lie if he has never travelled to Canada (and thats a question in the forms). Why put yourself at such a big risk? Include letters from people who have actually met him. Has your best friend ever talked to your husband to be on the phone or on skype or anything.? I don't know how you would want you best friend to phrase the letter if she never met the person. After all she is basing her views on you and not on knowing your hubby as a person in real.

You don't send photos or medicals of your parents and siblings.

As for the letters: you friend who has never met your husband can still write something. She can talk about the first time you told her about him, about how you really seem to be in love, about how you talk about him all the time, etc.

I was told to have letters from anyone willing to write them. Even people who have not met him. My Mum and another friend have spoken to him on msn and other friends communicate with him on Facebook somewhat so I will be asking all of them to write even a simple note on my behalf. As well I have met several of his family members and even stayed with his sisters so he will be asking them for letters too. So if you have met any of his family and friends I would highly suggest that you ask them as well. It can't hurt to ask and to include them :D

Best wishes !!
