Need advice about gathering documents for ILR

[Terpe]

We have bank statements from 2013-2014 but not 2012. I have also looked on my online banking about printing copies of statements but the available statements I could only print off are from 13-14.

Have you tried to request from the bank......should be no problem.

If you really can't meet the target documentation you'll need to provide an explanation in line with UKVI ILR form notes.

Terpe, below are the list of my collected documents so far:


*2 Joint accounts 2012-2014 (Council Tax and Water Bill)
*1 Joint name bank statement account 2013-2014
*3 Individually named doc 2012-2014 ( Personal Bank Statement, TV license, Employer's letters )
*2 Individually named doc 2013-2014 (HMRC and P60)
*8 single documents addressed to me with different dates from 2012-2014 such as Prov.Driving License, CRB, NINO APPLICATION, JOB OFFERING LETTERS, GOVERNMENT GATEWAY, GP patient survey, Phone Contract...

As for my husband, I only collected...

*3 Individually named 2012-2014 (Electricity Bill, Broadband and phone statement, Travel Itinerary bookings, maybe his bank statement)
*lots of documents for only 2012-2013 or 2013-2014 (HMRC and Identity protection policy, etc)
*individually named documents like CRB, DVLA, PPI letters, driving license...

Will these wouldn't be enough for them to prove that we are living together for the past 2 years?

Are you using a Checking service, because they are very helpful, they will send you an email with exactly what you require and we noticed it's much more simple to follow their list, good luck with your application!

......Will these wouldn't be enough for them to prove that we are living together for the past 2 years?

I wouldn't want to second guess any individual UKVI caseworker.....but having said that you list look reasonable.
Given your limited sources I think you've both done a very good job in putting that evidence together.

I'd agree with Michael's suggestion to consider using your local (or nearest) checking service.
They usually provide an excellent service and certainly help to minimise the stress by going through your application in detail.
