Hello

Unmarried partners live together and can provide documents addressed in either individual or joint names but same address(dating doesn't necessarily qualify as partners)

In UKVI eyes, you just got married and applied for visa

The PCC you provided is irrelevant, pictures,chats are minor evidence

Since Jan 3rd I believe you both live together,can you provide the rent agreement/bill paid since you got married till date??

Can you provide hers/your bank statement showing the same address since you got married??

Include a cover letter to address your relationship as you explained here

This is a 50/50 chance, you can try but if she gets refused then plan ahead

Cheers

Thank you for your reply

We’re already working on changing the address on her bank account and I will also print mine too.

The issue with the bills is that, I have lived in a family house all through, even after getting married we stayed there together (didn’t bother getting an apartment since we intend to travel together), so the bills aren’t in my name. Though I can demonstrate in the cover letter why bills aren’t in my name and attach every document of the house I can get to support it.

We’re also trying to get other documents too from our GP (we go for counseling together a lot).

We hope all these will fly. Thanks once again for your response 🙌🏽

As long as you have been using the account for more than 6 months and it has your address on it, yes you can. But its best to use an account that shows regular usage to avoid suspicion.

As for the newspaper publication, I cannot give an answer to that. Check online for the contact details of any newspaper company of your choice (preferably PUNCH) and call them for more information.

God bless you too

Alright sir, thanks 🙏🏽

2days maximum

Okay. Thanks

If she goes ahead with the newspaper publication, will it not affect the name on her international passport?

If I may ask, why use her parents address? I think that's where your issues lay. My thoughts tho

It was a mistake we are regretting now that’s why we’re trying to get any Advice that can get us out of this.

As suggested, write a comprehensive letter to back up the address. They think like Oyibo and not Nigerian

Okay sir, thank you

This situation is a bit tricky but I'll provide the following suggestions:

Ask your wife to change the address of her own bank account to your address and both of you should print and submit bank statements for at least, the last 3-6 months. You can add electricity bills and any other bills that has your name and address. Newspaper publication of change of name might be useful if you have not done that already.

You may also want to write a letter to them, letting them know that you and your wife are newly married and have not lived together before marriage as it is against Nigerian customs for couples to co-habit before marriage. I will stop here and allow others contribute.

I hope this will be helpful and wish you the best

God bless you sir for this.

We’re already working on changing her address on her bank account. Please can I submit a different bank statement from the one I used for POF (the one used for solely used for POF and doesn’t have enough transaction duration) but I have other banks with enough transactions.

Also, we’ve started working on the letter to best describe our customs and traditions regarding our marriage.

One more thing please, how long does it take for newspaper publication to come out?

We have just 10 days

Do you transfer money to her? If yes,print receipts from your online app
Your Whatsapp message screenshot..As many as possible that shows date and phone number

Thanks for your response sir. I submitted WhatsApp chat for over two years, I would have provided more than that but I misplace my phone that time and I didn’t back up my chats so I lost them.

Regarding the bank statements, I transfer money a lot to her but with a different bank (bank different from the one I submitted as POF). Will that fly please?

From the mail received, the VO is more particular about the address and I’m so confused

Good afternoon house and kudos to everyone dropping one or two advice on here 🙌🏽

Please, I am a silent reader here and I need help with my dependent’s visa application.

I just got my visa and plan to travel with my wife (we submitted and did biometric on different dates) but UKVI is asking for additional documents.


NB: We have been dating for over 2 years now but we don’t stay together. We officially got married on the 3rd of January (few days before I got my COS).

Documents initially uploaded

Marriage certificate (with our various parents home address)
POF
Police character (carrying her parents home address)
TB test (carrying her parents home address)
WhatsApp chat (date back to Jan 2021)
Random pictures together
Wedding photos

Please, find attached for the details of the mail sent by UKVI. I’m so confused on how else to demonstrate that we have a genuine relationship despite not staying in the same address over the years. Please help.

Thanks
