Just wondering how common (or expected) it is to include testimonials in your spousal-application?

Respond please with:

If you included testimontial or not
How many testimonials you included,
Inland/Outland,
married/common-law/conjugal and
where you are in the process.

Thanks!

Hi Ufa

By testimonials I assume you mean some kind of statement from one's friends/family? Remember that some visa offices require 2 notarized statements while others don't require any.

1. Yes (required)
2. 2 notarized, 2 statements
3. Outland
4. Common-law
5. Pretoria, provisionally accepted pending background check
