For the appeal you need to convince the judge or even the ECM that the relationship is genuine, there are many ways of doing this and this part of the appeal can easily be overturned and has been overturned many times in the past. Theres no specific evidence that is a requirement for proving a relationship is subsisting as this is done on a case by case basis. However below are a lIst of documents your sister can gather if available and PLEASE DON'T RELY ON SOLICITORSRay20 wrote:Hey she literally just gave 5 6 screen shots of them on FaceTime that's it.

evidence to prove your relationship. And our laptop crashed so lost all Skype history too at that time so she gave all she had. Along with wedding pictures and all other occasions and pictures taken from the time she visited. It was somewhat our mistake it was stated in the first refusal but she still hadnt provided enough. Hoping to win in court now in sha Allah.
I'm assuming your sister is the sponsor and none or minimum wedding photos were provided or photos of time spent together on visits?
Examples of communication which she can add during the appeal are;
1.money transfer receipts
2.call logs - -depends on method of communication - if she hasn't already i would start using a sim card like lebara/lyca where online phone logs can easily be printed. Also provide printscreens for as many facetime conversations. if they have been using whatsapp or similar apps i would print screen as many conversations throughout the period of the marriage. If she has facetime I'm assuming your sister had an idiot-phone, so was the phone ever backed up because you can easily restore to an early backup and retrieve earlier communication data?
3.wedding photos - if you don't have many yourself i would ask other family members if they have any wedding photos which they may have taken using their phones. OR if a DVD was made why not play it on a laptop and print screen photos of specific parts of the wedding when both were together and then get these printed?
4.travel- online travel tickets or passport entry/exit stamps which are verified by solicitor
5.as for general photos together - if possible i would advise your sister to go visit pakistan and take plenty of photos - photos don't need to be time stamped so you can state some of the photos taken were from an ealier visit?
Hope this helps
financial requirement - make sure she submits the missing banks statements/ payslips. The payslip GROSS amount should not fall under £1550 threshold and the net amount on the payslip should be reflected exactly on the corresponding bank statements
