I’m going to apply ILR SET (M) next month and I was Wondering if someone could help please. I’m scanning & uploading documents myself at home. I’m aware file size shouldn’t be more than 5MB. Some of my files are well over 5MB (for example 11MB & 9MB). I have used file compressor website to reduce the file size to less than 5MB. My question is,
1 - would it be Okkay to compress pdf files to reduce size to less than 5MB?
2 - would all files have to be in pdf and what’s the limit on number of documents I can upload for SET(M).
3 - how many proof of addresses in total I will have to submit for SET (M) for Cohabitation requirement? I’m submitting 16 in total combination of applicant, spouse and joint proof of addresses. Is it sufficient?
4 - Final question is about financial requirements. I already meet the financial requirements now and If my salary increases just few weeks or one month before date of application, would I have to inform it to home office about increase in salary if yes then how do i do it? OR just declare what I have been earning in last 6 month and write in covering letter about promotion?
1. Never upload your valuable documents on any anonymous website claiming to change the format/size without any app. Rather use an older version of Acrobat / pdf reader and then resave them which will certainly compress its size.
2. Not necessarily
3. 16 seems over excessive as usually 12 are deemed sufficient assuming all evidences are in individual names. Conversely, these even gets reduced if are in joint named. Most importantly these should cover at least 2 years and must be from at least 3 different sources.
4. Assuming you are earning a fixed wages and in that case the lowest wage figure during the last six months will be considered. However, your employer letter must state your annual income even recently increased till the date of application.
The opinion expressed as above is neither a professional advice nor contesting/competing to other member's opinion/advice.
