A statement describing the Social Aspects of our relationship & our evidence: photos evidencing Joint Participation in Cultural and Social Activities; itineraries and photos evidencing Joint Travel, and Social Media Screenshots evidencing shared social worlds  (Note: does not include bank statements, emails, or tax returns referenced in social aspects statement.   We submitted these things separately or under other categories.).

Identifying details like names, faces, and numbers have been removed.   Very private details have been removed, but I have intentionally left our Australian Partner Visa evidence as intact as possible.   The aim is to give you the opportunity to look at it from the perspective of a Case Officer (C.O.).   Hopefully any confusion will help you discover pieces of your own evidence that you might not otherwise think to clarify.

Good Luck!
