Hi everyone,
I’m planning to apply for a Skilled Worker dependant visa as an unmarried partner. We’ve been in a relationship for about 4+ years, long-distance (UK–Germany), mainly because I’ve been studying in Germany while my partner works in the UK.
We’ve visited each other frequently and travelled together, but we’ve never lived together permanently.
I just had a few specific questions for those who’ve gone through this route:
Chat evidence: our messages are not in English. Did you translate chats? If yes, did you do your own translations or use certified ones?
Did anyone get approved without translating chats at all?
Evidence format: did you combine everything into one PDF or upload separate files?
Cover letter: how detailed was your explanation for not living together?
Has anyone been refused specifically because of lack of cohabitation?
Did you include proof like university enrolment / proof that i‘m studying in another country?
Would really appreciate any insight from people who applied under the “cannot live together” route.
Thanks a lot!
