Intervening Devotion If the applicant and sponsor have been separated for a lengthy period of time before the application is submitted (for example, longer than 3 or 4 months), then evidence of intervening devotion should be included. This would normally take the form of telephone records or other forms of electronic communication. If the couple have lived separately for a longer period, travel receipts can be used to show that contact has been continual and proportionate.
If a prolonged separation is the result of mobility issues (which would include military duties or other foreign assignments), this would take the form of assignment letters or similar documentation.
When submitting email or instant messenger logs, it is important to bear in mind that intervening devotion means evidence of contact and not an exhaustive transcript of each on-line session.
i think the 2years apart could be the problem, and is probably the reason for the interview, where i would have thought your g/f will be asked questions like..
When did you and your fiance become engaged? Who proposed? How was it done? What happened?
What wedding plans have you made? Will you have a hen night? Will your fiance have a stag-do?
What sort of wedding dress will you wear?
Who have you invited to your wedding? Who is printing your invitations?
Where will your wedding be held?
Who is on your invitation list?
What sort of ceremony will you have? NOTE: prepare for this one in some depth!
Will there be a reception after the wedding? If so where?
Where do your fiance's parents live? What are their names? Have you met them?
How did you decide on a wedding date?
How much money does your fiance earn each month?
Where will you live? What are the accommodations like there? How long will you live there?
How did you decide where you would live?
Is your marriage dependent upon your relocating to the UK?
What does your fiance do for a living?
Have you or your sponsor been engaged before?
Did you ever attempt to settle in the UK before? When? What happened?
Do you have relatives in the UK? Who? What do they do?
What role did your fiance's residence in the UK play in your decision to get married?
May we have your engagement ring examined by a jeweler to assure it is genuine?
Is your fiance conservative or liberal? For which political party does your fiance normally vote?
Why do you want to marry a rich Englishman?
Do you have children? Has your fiance met them?
What relatives will you leave behind if you settle in the UK?
Has your fiancé met your family? Where? When? Answer: YES! My fiance brought gifts for my parents, and we went to five star restaurant for dinner, the receipt is included in the application.
What sort of work will you do in the UK? Trick question! Answer: I am qualified in several fields, but I want to focus on my wedding plans when I arrive in the UK. My ultimate employment is too far into the future to even speculate. NOTE: The answer here must come from a personal motivation rather than a knowledge of visa laws. Be careful!
Do your fiancé's children know about your marriage plans? Trick question! This is designed to assess the applicant's body language. Answer: His children know that he intends to remarry. They have not met me, and my fiance will introduce me when I arrive in the UK, and he will select the venue such that it will be a memorable and happy event. I look forward to a good relationship with [child's name] and [child's name].
What will you do if your application is refused? Answer: I will give notice of appeal today, and I will fax the relevant materials to my fiance. Wrong answer: we will marry in a 3rd country (they may take you up on it!). Correct response: According to UK law, we are entitled to marry in the UK and we will seek to do so by all legal avenues available to us. We will appeal a refusal and provide all additional information needed to substantiate our claim.
