Whose perspective to fill the combined forms in [IMM5532]

[mohdsafiuddin]

Hi,
I am sponsoring my wife and we are filling up the forms together but some sections get a little bit confusing as to whose perspective the answers should be presented in.
For example,
Part C Question 1: Describe the circumstances of your first meeting:
We met in person when he visited me blah blah blah.....
or
We met in person when I visited her blah blah blah.....

(Here 'He/him' is the sponsor, and 'She/her' is the principal applicant).
Now, I did a little bit of searching and I think what this post says makes a lot of sense. But we can't just write the whole explanation using we/us/ours since there will be other people involved in stories from either side, like the principal applicant's parents, siblings etc. How would one address that? we can't just write for example 'Principal applicant's cousin introduced us/ Sponsor's mother introduced us' etc., because that just seems weird.

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

We used both PA/Sponsor and our first names. We had it even worse since we're both women so we couldn't use he/she. It's fine, don't worry about it, it's clumsy for everyone. You can both also additionally write cover letters from each of your perspectives and attach it so that way you can express yourselves properly.

I would write this way assuming we are both writing a joint story. But when it comes to individual parts/columns then use 1st names of opposite spouse.
There are no hard/fast rules they will fully understand your honest story. She can write this ONLY an example;- me and my husbands met online so our first "Contact" was online, our first meeting was a few years later in person. So I believe saying the contact online or in person or on phone is important. It should be an honest story not looking like fake. Even if its an arraged marriage it still needs to be described how and who helped you. You could just describe both that way they understand and you don't have to worry! I copy+pasted few lines of the same real story in 2 columns too since they ask same thing 2-3 times on this form. Hope it helps
FORGOT:- Make sure you scan all fully filled/signed forms,make sure you download the latest versions be4 filling. Whatever I sent in the whole envelop; I kept copies of all on 2 PCs in case.
