When did you first meet your sponsor? When did your relationship begin?
This question refers to the first time you met your sponsor in person, and not the first time you "met" on the internet. In the traditional view maintained by many ECO's, people first meet in person and a relationship ensues sometime after that. In a contemporary view that embraces the internet, people begin a relationship before they actually meet in person. We suggest sticking with the traditional view for this series of questions whilst simultaneously not concealing anything of relevance.
Have you lived with your sponsor in a relationship like a marriage...?
This question has also been treated with suspicion by fiances, and shouldn't be. This information helps the ECO determine if the marriage is a sham or not. In a sham marriage, the two parties typically have no history of cohabitation. If you have cohabited (lived together), even for a holiday or short visit, it is worth recording it here. Of course this question is not the sole determinant of a sham marriage, and if you have no history of co-habitation with your fiance, it should be recorded here honestly.
