Frequently asked questions

What counts as relationship evidence for spousal sponsorship?

Photos together over time, chat and call logs, joint finances or leases, and statements from people who know you, organized into one indexed, page-numbered binder.

How should relationship photos be submitted?

Merged into a single PDF with a date and short caption under each photo, not as dozens of loose image uploads.
