Hi @alterhase58 and @contorted_svy,

Please, which documents I need to provide as a proof of living in the UK for the required number of years?

Cheers

As ILR holder your passport with stamps covering the residency period is sufficient. No bills or statements.

If your passport gets stamped - your passport is sufficient.
If that is not the case you need to submit P60s/payslips/government letters.

Thanks @contorted_svy and @alterhase58.

I have uploaded all the P60s and payslips I have had since I started living in the UK - would that be enough as a proof of living in the UK for the required number of years?

Cheers

Should be fine.
Normally P60 alone is sufficient, for the five years residency period.

Thanks @alterhase58.

P60 for the current financial year will be available from the 5th of April 2025. I have uploaded payslips to cover the period of April 2024 to now. All good?

Cheers

Hi @contorted_svy and @alterhase58,

After attending the appointment to submit my biometric data I received an email from TLScontact stating that "UKVI will confirm receipt of your application". I have not received any confirmation from UKVI, is that common?

Cheers

Yes. I haven't received an acknowledgment when I applied (it was before TLScontact). If UKVI has an issue they will contact you.
