Evidence of purchases

[aussiebird2012]

Just a quick question,

Should any invoices for purchases of furniture, appliances etc be included as evidence for financial/household even if they are not in both names? The invoices are only in my o/h name.

Thanks in advance xx

What?! Is this something new? Partner visa? Sounds ridiculous that you need to show invoices for furniture... then again, it is the gov...

Never heard of having to do this … are you sure it's needed?

Hi Aussiebird,

We included invoices for household products in our application as I did feel it was evidence of our shared household. The invoices were only in one of our names, though it was mixed up with some in my partners name, some in mine etc. We use our solo bank accounts but share out payments, so I just annotated the bank statements with anything relevant and provided a couple of evidence pieces attached to each one, such as these invoices or travel bookings etc.

We only applied in March 2019 though and are still waiting our decision, so who knows if we have done it okay

Visa supporting documentation is getting more complicated, and I can only guess that you have been proactive.   Well done.

Thank you very much, I appreciate that so much! I have been very thorough as to me they want to see evidence that we are living together and buying things for our home that we share etc.....so we keep receipts for purchases such as our new sofa invoice,  new cooker and dishwasher etc...as you say it should be evidence under household/commitment.....
