What proof of relationship do I need?

Joint financial accounts, shared housing (lease/deeds), travel together, photos over time, communication logs, letters of support from family/friends. We assemble a 'relationship file' that addresses every immigration officer concern.

Can I sponsor my parents?

Yes — Canada has the Parents/Grandparents Program (lottery-based). UK requires Adult Dependent Relative (strict criteria). Australia has Contributory Parent Visa (paid). GCC countries allow parental sponsorship if you earn AED 20,000+/SAR 20,000+ monthly.

What if our relationship is new?

Most countries require 1+ year of established relationship. Canada accepts common-law partners after 12 months cohabitation. US K-1 (fiancé) requires meeting in person within 2 years. UK requires 'genuine and subsisting' relationship — we structure evidence.

Can my children be included?

Yes — dependent children under 22 (some countries 18) can be included as accompanying dependents. Stepchildren require additional consents. Adopted children need court-issued papers.

What if our marriage is not registered yet?

Some countries accept civil partnerships, common-law relationships, and engaged couples (US K-1). For unmarried couples, we structure documentation around cohabitation, joint finances, and 'spousal-equivalent' criteria.
