Proving relationship status

Hi,
This may be in the wrong place, or might be better somewhere else. If this is the case, could you kindly let me know please.
Okay, a bit of a random question: If I was granted citizenship of a country and wanted to take my partner with me, how would I prove that they are my partner as we are not married?
Previous bills prove that we have lived together for a few years, but this proves nothing about our status as a couple!
How can we prove that we are a couple?
Thank you. (Sorry its a bit random)

Having watched those programmes where they follow immigration officers. Its things like holiday photos, love letters, actually knowing something about your partner, like where they work there mums name and loads of detail that 2 people who have been together a while know about each other.0

Not quite the same but someone I know who wanted to bring a partner to live over here, they were looking for records of phonecalls to each other, emails etc....he didn't have any of it either! :rolleyes:Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. - C.S. Lewis0

We have lived together for a number of years; we have no real need to send e-mails to each other, or phone each other!!
In fact, on record (i.e. via phone, e-mail, post etc.) it looks like we haven't spoken since the day we met.'I can't deny the British influence on my accent and mannerisms, but I don't know the British national anthem, I didn't weep for Princess Diana and I always cheer when Britain loses at sport.

LoL, my DH doesn't even know my mobile number so never rings it because IF he actually has his with him, it's flat! He can't remember our home phone number or our postcode either. I'm not that sure if he knows what number we're at!

I think this is a good case for getting married. Is that an option?0

My now husband and I met in Germany (he's American), and when we applied for his "residency for the purposes of marriage" visa the officials wanted to know things about how we met and how long we'd been together and so on. We used GMail chat logs, text messages and logs of conversations with other people about each other, and photos etc.Organised Birthdays and Christmas: Spend So Far: £193.75; Saved from RRP £963.76

We are in the process of applying for a spouse visa and have been asked to supply things like dated photos, cards addressed to both of us ie thank you cards, wedding invites, things like travel documents etc.
Thing is we never kept any of this stuff not realising we would need to prove the relationship for the past 5 years we are struggling to put it all together.0 -

This may be an obvious question, but am I right in thinking that you are not married to your partner? That you have to apply for a 'spouse' visa even though your partner is not really your spouse?
I think we will have the same kind of problem as you. We don't keep cards that are addressed to both of us (who does) or travel documents etc. (Perhaps I should start saving things like this now in preparation).
What will happen if you are unable to put all of this stuff together?'I can't deny the British influence on my accent and mannerisms, but I don't know the British national anthem, I didn't weep for Princess Diana and I always cheer when Britain loses at sport.
