UAE applicants proof of living together.

[moetorious]

Hey guys just wondering what you guys used to proof you lived together, Im kinda stuck as you all know EJARI has only 1 name, Etisalat and DU bill only provides 1 name, car insurance same thing? the only thing that I can think of is joint bank account which I cant provide because they wont open a bank account for my wife because she is from a sanctioned country. I appreciate any ideas.

Are you applying common law or married?

Common law need to show much more serious proof of living together.

I know nothing of the UAE specifics but faced same issue from another country (no official docs showing same address, most individuals remain at official registered address and factual address does not correspond). You can add a short letter of explanation about why some of these 'joint' items are missing.

We got letters from landlord and similar (head of tenants' association), short letters of attestation from others. Also bills delivered to same address - obvious joint household stuff. If bills addressed to both partners (even if separate items), presents a stronger case (I pay some bills, spouse pays some).

But depends how strong rest of your case is; in our case together for several years and children; possible some of these were not needed in our case. I.e. expect more scrutiny if other aspects less clear.

Married since July 2017 living together since January 2018, lived with my parents (and still do) we have a 1 year old daughter as well, my only problem its very hard to get official documents in both our names, the only thing I can manage is for my mom to write a letter stating we lived there and few amazon deliveries under her and my name.

I assume you're a Canadian citizen? (If not you will have to apply from within Canada, and then the question of living together becomes more complicated).

Is this a first marriage for you both?

Do you pay rent/share expenses with your parents? Do you have some kind of written agreement with them (that shows both of you)? You can also get a letter from your parents that you are both living with them and contributing to expenses, etc. Add a letter of explanation (as per the 'if you did not check two boxes' instructions), emphasizing that all of these 'joint' things that are normal in Canada are not possible in UAE.

At any rate, if you look at the section 7, you have been married for more than two years, have a child together, and are living together - and if a first marriage - you will be in a lower risk category (or at least lower documentation required).

If the rest of your application is in order and no significant concerns otherwise, I wouldn't worry too much.

Note: you say your spouse is from a sanctioned country; don't know the country specifics obviously, but presumably this may be a country with more significant security concerns, many of which have longer approval / processing times - it might be quite a bit longer.

Good luck. But one thing, definitely add a letter of explanation about why you don't have some of the other things. Doesn't have to be long - brief is better - just state that these can't be done in UAE and why.
