2 Statutory Declarations from people vouching about your relationship.
Also, you can get more regular letters written from other people. But I believe in the checklist for common law you need two statutory declarations notarized.

Also, you could include copies of cards and receipts for gifts.
Just some suggestions.
Best of luck.

Oh silly me, I over read the part where you said you are including the cards and letters.
Oops, I am sorry. It has been a long day.

The most important thing is that you can prove you have been living together for a year. If the joint lease started last July, then OK. If not, I'd wait for five more months.

who should we ask for statutory declarations from?

 

[Swede]

who should we ask for statutory declarations from?

My sponsor and I got letters from her parents, her godmother and two of her best friends, all signed and witnessed by a notary public (somewhat overkill to have a notary witness the signatures, but we paid her in beer so it wasn't too expensive). The letters describe our relationship and why they think it's true and lasting.
