documentary evidence of living together after marriage

[d4rmsc]

Hi please help with visa question -
Part 7, 120 Have you lived with your sponsor in a relationship like a marriage or civil partnership at any time (including since a wedding or civil partnership ceremony)?
Guidance note - You must provide details of when and where you lived together and for how long.
Please Note: you will be required to provide documentary evidence to support this.

After the wedding I stayed with my wife at her grandparents house for 5 days then flew back to the UK.
If I select yes to this question then they demand documentary evidence however in this circumstance how can I provide proof?
Or would it be better to answer no to the question and if I answered no will the visa application look less favourable?
Please help thanks

what i think it says is you must do the below;

You must provide details of when and where you lived together and for how long.

then it says the below;

Please provide documentary evidence to support this.

which i think is maybe not a requirement to show proof as there just saying please at the start.

First of all, check your form, I think u r using old form.

@ Sakman, you can check pm.

About your queries.

YOUR RELATION TO THE SPONSOR

8.4.8
You can put your house address address in this place. Obviously, there is a documentary evidence.
How you put 'NO', you spent 05 days with your wife in grandparents house.



This is my opinion, do whatever right for you. Because every person has own circumstances & different case.

I think you have misunderstood this question. You only have to provide documentary evidence if you have lived with your wife for a longer period of time before she applied for the visa ( ie 3-12+ months).

It may be that you may have lived abroad with your wife prior to applying, or you may have stayed in your country for a number of years after the marriage because of some business or work. It is in these circumstances that you have to provide evidence of soem sort.

If you have got married and will be staying with your wife say for 3 - 4 weeks after marriage (or less cos work commitment back in UK), then there is not a lot of documentary evidence you can provide to confirm this. The only evidence would be photographs of the couple with the rest of the family taken inside the house.

thanks for clearing that up batleykhan as it was confusing me as well

As Batlekhan said,

I too stayed at my wifes house for 2 or 3 weeks at a time after we got married-- but I didn't declare this as the question means for a longer period.

I just put in my personal statement however that I did stay at her house when visiting her after the marriage

I think u shouldnot say No to this question, if i was the ECO i would think what kind of couple hasnt lived together in a marraige like realtionship after marriage. we are not 100% sure that they are only asking for a longer period here are we?

I think this is how u should answer this Q:

YES (please refer to my support stament for further explanation)

Then in your support statement say that u stayed at her house not a hotel or something so you dont have reciepts, also if you have any picture which were taken at her house during your stay you could probably give them as evidence.

If you stayed with your wife for anytime after marriage, whether it be day or a year, you should always answer the question YES and give details of where ,when and how long you stayed.

To be honest the question asks for evidence of that, how can I proove that? it was a holiday after our wedding at there parents house I have no bills/letters going to that house ( i could show them photos which i did but that prooves nothing about me living there)

Anyway I answered No, and in my personal statement I said I stayed at there house on my many trips to my wifes family home with pictures.

Visa granted Last week. I guess every Embassy is different.
