Dear cdnmom,


Can you please please please tell me what are all the documents that you have provided in your application to prove ur marriage/relationship to be genuine. Please help me


Many thanks.

Hi Yellow123

When we initially submitted the application we sent photos, plane tickets for trips taken together, a copy of the lease in both names, and then we sent pictures of the sponsors family with the applicants family when they came to Thailand to meet the applicant.
As some know the applicant is in Canada on a TRV... so after arrival and meeting the sponsors extended family we also sent updated photos with the applicant and friends and family

We felt there may be one red flag... marriage after only knowing each other 4 months... but all the evidence was obviously enough !!!

Good luck and feel free to ask anything you want

OMG you've got to live auto correct. I hope you figured out that msg I'm going to fix it how I was writing it not how it got auto corrected! Each others family I meant. Basically the same as cndmom
I forgot to add text messages. I couldn't figure out how to effectively print them for love our money when I first put our application in but now with my newer phone I'd just screen shot the first SMS page that simply shows the name and the number of shared messages. This gets the idea across without be totally invasive of privacy.

but even asking for the physical notes they dont even have my adress i am confuesd here

That sounds complicated! Maybe it is best to just order the notes again and choose for them to be emailed to you. I got my last ones in 27 days, 3 days ahead of schedule! What's your timeline tuntuni?

Dear toutesweet,


Thanks for your reply. Can you please tell me what are ALL the proofs that you have provided to support your relationship to be genuine? Please give me your list.


Also did you send them more proofs later?


Regards.

Hi Yellow123

We did not provide email logs or call records as both were living together the whole time the application was being processed
The meeting happened by chance in a mall in Bangkok

Married 4 months later... family came to visit for two weeks about 6 weeks later
Oh... family also gave a honeymoon to Vietnam and we included the information and pictures

Have you sent your application yet?
What country are you from?

Cheers!!

Pg 521 I wrote you a list. I did send more proof. Two years later, I uploaded passport stamps to show I had been back 3 times and we had travelled together.
Originally I put copies of phone records and highlighted our calls. The face page of our shared emails from an inbox and sent messages search with his name, many pictures, pics with his family and friends. Wedding photos of course.
A letter from a friend confirming our relationship.
I probably could have used a couple more of these, but don't put more than four I figure. We had a Khmer friend whose English is good write one, but it was a very flowery work of romantic fiction so I didn't include it. Simple and honest. I would have gotten a couple of our expat friends to write letters to attach into the more evidence but at that point I knew we didn't need it. His family can't speak English and mine was against the marriage at the time. They're mostly over it now. The point is letters from family would have been better but weren't an option.
I had a few hotel receipts with both our names on it and a lease from the apt. we live at while I'm there with both our names on it. Various bus and train tickets and random meal receipts.
I had, but never sent, because I knew by then I didn't need it, a wire transfer to BNH Hospital in Bangkok where he went to get an urgent surgery along with the detailed receipts. There's a couple more things on my previous post.
My advice is, don't delete anything or throw anything away. Take pictures, this was big for my husband and I because neither of us like pics much, be conscious of gathering evidence, normally for eg. Our landlady would have just put one of our names on a receipt every month. We asked her to put both on a lease.
Don't make yourself crazy with it. I delayed our application for three months trying to get phone records from my phone company at the time. That was stupid, and worse, after all their promises, I never did get them anyway and caused my own delay. Just be conciencious on gathering without worrying about every scrap. I never did manage to get Skype to list our history either, but it's good to have if you can.

Guys please dont stress too much about proofs....u can submit billions of documents of proofs..but still some people get interviewed...and some people provide 10 pictures in total and they dont get interviewed..

Do u really think the VO has the time to read/see all proofs...

They are experts..they go through 470000 application each other (all catagories)... it needs only few pics and some info to make them satisfied...

They look for red flags..such as age difference..expression in the pictures...circumstances..wedding nature and environment.....thats it...no need to provide with thousands of pages of logs and stuff...

Quality is important not quantity......

Anyway..the things i provided was...8 pictures for our 10 years long relationship..(8 was long distance lol)..from 2001.to 2011...it was funny,,the oldest pic we looked like kids..cause i was 19 and she was 17 lol..

25 pictures from our wedding...it was big wedding though....1200 people attended.. with 5 different ceremonies..

Provided translated receipts of all expenses related to wedding..i had all the receipts..lol

lasty ...in the course of 8 years long distance..i visited her every 4 to 5 montsh...so in total around 16 times before marrage and 7 times after marrage..so i gave photocopies of all the passport stamps..

Thats about it..

Your wait is almost over :
SVO will let you know what they need next

 

[azmin]

Thank you. But do u know after how long?

Thank you. But do u know after how long?

It's impossible to say for sure. Look through people's timelines. Usually in process is 1-3 months to go, but I've seen a few still go a year from in process. You should get a letter from vo with further instructions soon. Notes will give you a better idea of what's going on
