Good day everyone. I have read in this post one posting that indicated a 16 span in the marraige. How many photo's does one have to send to please CIC. I have sent 60 and when I look at them it doesn't seem to be enough from what I read. This site has been helpful as to the process times and other information but my age difference from my wife is 21 years. I also wonder why a large span in difference could or would send up a red flag. I am on day 15 of my wait and wonder if during the Sponsorship approval is when the red flag comes up or is that question looked at when the PR is in process.

everyone's situation is unique what u can do is wait until your sponsorship is approved then once your file is assigned to a VO then you can send in more proof of continued commuication and more pictures if u deem that necessary. Also its the PR part where they do that check CPC-M checks application for completeness ensures nothing is missing and approves the sponsor the VO does the approval so that part is where the age gape may be a concern which it is not as love is love and as long as you prove your relationship is genuine then no worries
 
60 photos is probably enough. If you are older than your wife, the VO will find this less suspicious than if you are younger. As Kedeisha says, if you want to you can always send more proof to the VO during processing.
What country is the applicant from? The visa office you apply through does have an influence on how much evidence you should send, as does the number of 'red flags' in your relationship.
 
I've read posts where people have sent 200+, I only sent about 20 but they very clearly showed the timeline of our relationship because of events they were taken at (and my ever increasing size during my pregnancy!)
I'm sure what you've sent will be fine. Good luck xx
 
Thanks. My wife is from Ukraine and being Eastern Europe I become concerned as it is a poor country. But thanks to everyone as maybe I have sent enough information beside the photo's even. Boarding passes, reciepts etc... etc...

Another question is how can you print the log from Skype to send as proof. we have been using Skype everyday that we are apart. I live there for 3 - 6 months at a time. I only came back to submit the application and in Sept I will return again for 5 months before coming back for a birthday and then again return until she is approved.

Again Thanks

You don't need all of it, submit some screen captures of parts of the log. Explain that you can provide more if required.
 
hi,

my husband and i just sent 10 pics and not one telephone bill or e-mail, we just decribed our relationship and how it devloped. our application pack was just the fillable forms and the pics. i´ve got apporved in 5 weeks. i guess it´s an luck thing and how busy the vo is.

wish everyone an nice day
 
We were coming up on 13 when we submitted our application - and I sent around 100 but I put it into a word document going thru the last 13 years with information about things we'd done together, and family visiting, ect. Trying to capture dhs family with us, and vice versa as well as as many of us together as I could.
 
From what I have been reading I will send in word document almost 3000 pages of Skype contact with my wife and 600 emails along with our joint bank account statements since our marraige. I was also told to wait until the file is sent to Kiev then to send them to kiev with the correct file number. Anyone if I am wrong let me know. Looks like my wait time has just went from 40 to 46 days and I have 30 to go. I just want to make sure all is done right.
 
Yes, if you want to add to the evidence you included with your application, send it once the file is at the embassy and include the file number, names of both sponsor and applicant, and birthdates of both.

You don't have to send everything you have, particularily things like emails, Skype printouts, and instant message printouts. 3,000 pages is too much. It is better to show an overview of your contact: such as a printout of just your email inbox showing all the emails from your wife. This gives the date of each. Then choose a selection of emails to print out and send - maybe one from each week of your relationship. Do the same thing with the Skype. Then include a note stating you have more, and will send it if the VO wants to see it.
I would, however, send all of the financial evidence you have - so would send proof of the joint bank account. If your wife uses the bank account a lot from abroad, it would be OK to include every statement since marriage. If she doesn't use it much, the first and latest statement would be enough to show you have a joint bank account.
