Phone bill for defacto evidence?

Faye&Matt · 25-09-2008, 03:25 PM

I'm applying for a defacto visa and as we had a period of 3 weeks apart when I came back to the UK before he came over. We're putting in a phone bill from when I was staying at my parents for those 3 weeks and they have just given me a copy of the phone bill which we're going to put in as it shows lots of phone calls I made to him. Is it ok that it is just a copy printed off the internet not a real one sent through the post? Will that make a difference? They won't think its a fake one just because its printed off the computer will they or anything? Also, there are 7 pages of phone calls so there are loads of other numbers there apart from when I was calling him. Should I maybe highlight the calls I made to him so when they are doing our application they don't have to go through all the other calls to find them or do they prefer you not to 'tamper' with the things in anyway?
Thank you! :D

hi there, W e had to prove that i had been with my partner for the last 14 years, you will need more than a phone bill i would of thought, i had to show gas, electric, joint morgage, invites to parties,not forgetting that we have TWO CHILDREN TOGETHER one age 12 and one age 6 with there dads name on birth certificates , referances from friends stating how long they known us, also if you have not lived together for a least a year before you apply you will have to wait , hope this helps you , what visa are you applying for , we have got our 175 independant.Good luck

Thanks for your reply. I know we need more than just a phone bill but we are including it as part of our application. We just want to make it as good as possible so that it doesn't get turned down, delayed and we get it through as quickly and easily as possible which is why we're wanting to put in as much as possible about our relationship to prove its genuine.

Hi there i would think a copy from the internet would be fine. I will be sending a copy of our tv license and thats an online version that I have printed off.

Sounds fair to me, when you consider that they have customer reference numbers on them and that cross references to your direct debits or other payment record.

The Dunscombe family have a very good point though so dont be shocked if your asked for more.

Good luck.
