Just a quick question about the common law declaration, I was under the assumption that this had to be done in the presence of a notary together, in other words, you need to be at the same place to do it. We also would like to do this document but my fiance is living abroad, we were waiting until I was able to visit to do it but if we can do it being apart this would be great !

Some visa offices are asking folks to complete the common law declaration during the process; if you end up in that situation, you could complete in in parts. Thus, each of you would sign it and have your signature notarized (either on the same form or complete identical forms and have each with one signature)

Thanks Ohcanadiana !! That is a great idea, I am going to get that going, its something that has bothered me that we didnt for so long now, I would just feel better if we had it done

Thank you OhCanadiana,

That's an idea. But just to make sure I'm going to call my VO Vienna today.

The thing is that all the proof which we do have is here in the Netherlands, and I can better send the package from the Netherlands to Austria than my boyfriend from Canada. But I guess that my boyfriend has to fill out the whole form before he can sign it in front of a notary. This means that it's going to take some time because I don't know exactly yet what I can send along with the form as proof of our common law relationship. Is it also allowed that he lives one question open (the one about what kind of documents we send along with it), and sign it anyway? Because in the time when my boyfriend signs the form and sends it to me I can get all the documents together.

with Immigration....you must give them everything you can and when you think its enough....give them more. Yes, its overkill, but it will strengthen your case.

How long do the letters from our family and friends have to be? Do they have to give phone numbers and/or addresses? Can they send pictures that they may have of us (my future husband and I) that we may not have copies of?

Hello Blueangel371115, It doesn't really matter how long the letters from family and friends are. It's more about their content, what they say in their letters. What we did though, and I think this is an abligation. That your family members and friends have their letter or signatures legalized, by a notary. So they sign their letter in front of a notary. And also a copy of their passport along with it. Our familymembers and friends didn't write their phonenumbers or adresses on the letters if I remember correctly.

About the pictures.....I'm not sure if it would be handy if they would attach the pictures to their letters. Maybe they can just send the photo's to you and you can put them with your other pictures.

I just made word ducuments with all our pictures on it, just copies, so that we didn't have to send our original ones.
