Evidence of Cohabitation; please HELP!

[gracia143]

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...

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!

he's right, hiya gracia
not many people have problems getting ILR

just send you app when your suppose to, fill it in correctly, make sure you have the money to pay the fee in your bank, pass the life in uk test and gather your evidence

your lucky its only 6 bits of evidence spread over 2 years, not long ago you needed to supply 20 letters or documents

* telephone bills or statements
* mortgage statements/agreement
* bank statements/letters
* council tax bills or statements
* water rates bills or statements
* electricity and/or gas bills or statements
* tenancy agreement(s)
* building society savings books/letters
* letters or other documents from government departments or agencies, for example HM Revenue and Customs, Dept for Work and Pensions, DVLA, TV Licensing
* letters or other documents from your GP, a hospital or other local health service about medical treatments, appointments, home visits or other medical matters

To summarize, a total of 6 items are required and these must be spread evenly over the two year qualifying period..

Thanks for coming to the rescue Joe! I'm sure Mrs. Happy_Now will be more than happy now. 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,
but i would send more than 6 if you have them
and the 6 letters have to come from at least 3 different sources

from the ILR app form

Note 8 We need 6 letters or other documents addressed to you jointly or in both your names. If you do not have
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.
