Get a letter from your landlord, plus your parents and a letter from Housing Benefit ...

Yes, the visa was succesful without supplying a P60 and just a P2. With regards to the household expenditure i wrote a covering letter which explained that i paid housekeeping of around £280 per month. My bank statements showed transactions from Tesco's etc and on or around payday it showed a sum o ...

Hi 2036789! When my husband applied for a spouse visa in pakistan 2 years ago i had just started my job. I sent payslips from June - November and did not have a p60 so instead i rang Inland Revenue and asked them to send me a P2 - a coding notice. I was staying with my mum but arranged to move in ...

Is there any reason for that? My Husband is applying for ILR in January 2009 and he passed his Life in The UK test in January 2008....is that going to be a problem?

Dear mmudigonda,

From your post it seems that the documents you have submitted may be sufficient - but i am the last person to advise you on that!

Like you i dont have many documents for the first 7 months, not applying till jan 09. Keep us posted on how you get on

I'm worried about my husband passing the Life in the UK test due to his written English not being so good! Hi, My husband does not have fantastic english either, however he is able to understand and read well. He bought some books from Waterstones and studied them, he then practiced a lot on www ...

My husband is also here on a Spouse Visa and like you i was unable to get him onto an ESOL Course until after 1 year. So we went to Waterstones and picked up some nooks on the test, he then studied the books (his reading is good and english speaking is getting better) and then he registed on the ...

Hey Imagine,

I suppose we are in similar boats. Are you going to an appointment at a PEO or are you submitting via post?

Please let me know how you get on
