The declarations that are apparently needed to prove the genuity of a relationship, is it preferrable to have them made by friends or family?
I was thinking to include 1 declaration from a member of my family and from a member of my partner's family. Should I replace one of them with a declaration from a friend? Or just add a third one from a friend?
What is preferrable and what did other people do?
Also, our country specific instructions say that documentary evidence may include "notarized affidavits attesting to the fact and providing reasons for why you and your sponsor are/were living together without being married or unable to live together altogether". Is this similar to the statutory declaration of a common-law union? or is it advisable that I add something like this? Do I need to explain why we didn't get married?
