Evidence of Cohabitation; please HELP!

[Happy_Now]

I need your help guys

Preparing ILR (SET-M) application is not easy.
I’m stocked at Section 10 (Evidence of Cohabitation)
“6 letters and/or others documents addressed to you and your partner at the same address“.

A). Is it valid if “MRS & MR P. SMITH“?:Erm::Erm:

B). My name in our power bill is wrong spelling.
Supposed to be “Nancy Smith” but it was “Namsy Smith“.
Is it alright?:Help1::Help1:

C). Most of our letters were “Mr P. & Mrs N. Smith”
Were this documents valid?:doh:doh

I am worried because of my experience in the Philippines,
I had trouble processing papers when my first husband died. “My youngest son’s name was miss spelt by one letter.”:furious3::furious3:

D). Lastly,
In these 6 letters, is the date necessary? For instance,
two electric bills (June & July 2008), 2 telephone bills (April May 2009) & 2 letters from a friend (Nov, & Dec. 2007) Is this alright?

I’m really confused. :NoNo::NoNo:Please do help me:ARsurrender:

lucky husband? :icon_lol:

You know guys, at first im hesitate to ask the forum because i of the unhelpful replies. Our situation is not happy as yours, but we are contented what we had.
My Bornabirth, many is telling us that my husband is really lucky to have me. I sacrifice myself not to go for work coz i want to make sure everything is fine with him. He had extensive lung cancer but we never give up. Sometimes he is tellin me that if they refused my ILR, he better kill himself than to live in hearthaches and pain. Being together with peace and harmony is a great blessing for us...

[Happy_Now]

Mr Bonabirth i should say, sorry...

Hi Mrs. Happy Now! I understand the hardships you've been through, most of us Brit wives went through a very similar dilemma with the immigration. ILR I am sure is a straightforward application, my husband's been telling me it is nothing compared to what we've been through with the fiance' visa and the FLR application. He believes it is just a type of formality really (I think he just doesn't want me to worry too much). Anyhow, as long as you have those letters I'm sure you'll be fine. It might be a good idea to include letters from the NHS for you, letters from the council. Any letters sent to you by any 'organisation' that might help to convince them that you are still in the same address.

I hope this will help you. Don't worry, you are not alone. Cheers!

Hi gracia,
I got loads of letters but its on my name only. since they only need 6 in our joint names i want to make sure that i submit the right one. electric, telephone, & water bills is already joint names. Can i submit 2 of them to make it six?
Your help is highly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi happy_now, i think that would be fine too, since that will show thesame address as you have in those bills where you are joint with your hubby,
also i think its best to secure as much evidence and proof as you can......:xxgrinning--00xx3:
but you can also wait for the advise of others here who got more ideas on this matter :xxgrinning--00xx3:

If you are going to submit letters with your name on it, let's say 2, also try to submit 2 letters that are addressed to your husband. I've read this from older posts and I think it makes sense.

Hi Nymph:)

If I were you submit more than 6 docs adrressed to you and your husband or both your names on it. When i applied earlier this month i submitted more than 20 docs with each our names on it and a few docs with both our names on it.

Hope that helps.
Goodluck:)

Thanks for coming to the rescue Joe! I'm sure Mrs. Happy_Now will be more than happy now:D. Yes, I think my letter from them still says 20 letters would be needed, it's good that they've changed it to 6. Phew!

you only need 6 letters but spread out over the 2 years,

and the 6 letters have to come from at least 3 different sources

from the ILR app form

enough items in your joint names, you may also provide items addressed to each of you individually if they show the
same address for both of you. Examples of acceptable letters and documents are listed below. They must be originals.
The dates of the letters or documents should spread over the whole 2 years. They should be from at least 3 different
sources.
Please give an explanation on a separate sheet if you cannot provide 6 items; if the documents are not addressed to
both of you; or if they do not cover the 2-year period. If you and your partner lived with relatives or friends for some
or all of the 2-year period, please provide a letter from the relative(s) and/or friend(s) confirming this.
If you did not live together for any of the 2-year period, tell us the reasons for this and whether you stayed in contact
with each other during this time, and provide any relevant supporting evidence.
telephone bills or statements
mortgage statements/agreement
bank statements/letters
council tax bills or statements

Thanks Sir Joe, yap i already printed them;
What i cant understand is about the 6 letters in our joint names,
Is it 6 pcs only? so it wasnt spread for 2 yrs? (1 each per month?)

[Happy_Now]

Note 8 We need 6 letters or other documents addressed to you jointly or in both your names
So I will send them 6 pcs only in our joint names. No longer spread for 2 yrs?

spread over 2 years :D, send the first one you have in your joint names, and the most recent, then try and space the other 4 letters btw the 2 years, but if you have more letters send them, as they might not count as evidence some of the 6 you sent :doh

[Happy_Now]

Well said Sir Joe, Thanks a lot:xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3:
