hello there..I can asnwer number 2 which I am quite sure about. As a proof that we lived together I submitted utility bills on both our names i.e. BT bills, Water bills, Electric & Gas bills, Joint account bank statement, letter from GP address to my husband and to me (just to show you live on same address) . As far as I remember I forwarded 1 bill for each year.

I hope this help. Have you done the Life in the UK test yet?,as it is one of the requirement for ILR.

Goodluck on your application hope all ok.

2.what are the documents that i need to preper that proof that we live together? how many we need?

you need 6 letters

3. Is there any specific how much money we have our account?

as long as your'e not overdrawn all the time, you should be ok.


4. how much is the payments?

£820 by post and
£1020 at a PEO

and if your have any children that need to apply for ILR
its an extra £50 per child under 18.

5.Where can we submit the applications? Can we submit it in uk border agency?

its on the form where you need to send it by post, or phone them to book a same day appointment (PEO)

yes he's entitled to claim public funds,

not many people get refused ILR, as long as you send what you're asked
then you shouldn't really have a problem.

:Hellooo: Welcome, Jane. My wife only arrived here in March, and therefore won't be eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave until around the middle of 2011. But it's good to ponder :rolleyes: over the replies you've received from others, as it will give US some idea of the procedure when her turn comes ... unless things change [as they're apt to do] before then.

Life in the UK test? I believe you will need to take that also, mrsjarv is very nervous about that.
