Hi all,
As we all know that applying for SMC is a long process that spans over 6 months on an average. So, my partner and I have been living together for 6 months now. If my partner would submit an EOI now (With me on the application), then how will our living together period be assessed? Is it only until the time we send in the EOI (6 months) or until the time the CO looks at the application (if we get an ITA)—which might be almost 12 months by then?
My point is what if 12 months are not fully over yet but will be so in due course—by the time the application lands in the hands of a CO. Will INZ consider the date of EOI submission or be open to see it from the point they assess our application?
Thank you.
Help from JandM and all the helpful knowledgable people out here will be really appreciated!
