FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prove cohabitation?▾
Joint leases, utility bills, joint banking, mail at the same address, photos, travel together.
Can short separations break the 12 months?▾
Brief absences are okay but must be explained; the 12 months must be continuous overall.
Can I include children?▾
Yes — dependent children are included on the application.
Is this faster than spousal?▾
Same 12-month service standard, but documentary burden is higher.
Do we need to be living together when applying?▾
Yes for inland; outland allows current separation.
Is engagement enough?▾
No — engagement is not common-law. Conjugal partner sponsorship may apply in limited cases.
