ILR Additional Documents

Post by ElyseRachael » Mon Feb 17, 2025 12:32 pm

I'm currently on a spouse visa and I'm now applying for my ILR and need to submit my documents, but the new website (TLS) they use to have me submit my documents does not list what I need to provide (at least not from what I can see). The gov.uk website says that I may need to provide additional documents depending on my circumstances and that I'll be told what documents I need, but I can't find an official list.
The lists I have found say the following:

Your valid passport

Proof that you can speak English well (if you had to take an English language test)

Proof that you passed the Life in the UK test

Two passport-sized photographs

Details about any times you have been out of the UK

A copy of your biometric residence permit (if you have one)

Information about where you live in the UK. E.g., tenancy agreements

Birth certificates for any children you have (if they are applying with you)

A letter from a doctor if you have a long-term health problem

Evidence that you live with your partner if you are applying with them (E.g., shared tenancy agreements)

Information about your finances, such as bank statements

Police registration certificate (if you were asked to register with the police)

Documents that show changes in your circumstances.

Can someone tell me if this is accurate or if there is a list on the TLS website that I am missing?
Also, I am currently out of work (I was laid off) and my husband and I are living off his paycheck. Do we need to provide his payslips like we've had to for the visa renewals, or does it want my finances?

I am not sure where you got this list but this is totally out of date by many many years. For example, the requirement to send photos was removed like 7 years ago as everything became digital or the police registration scheme ended several years ago, etc. So I suggest you refrain from mindlessly Googling

For the family route, you need evidence of sufficient finances, LIUK, proof of English language, proof of adequate accommodation and cohabitation evidence.

For finances, you need to figure out what category you are applying under: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... rement.pdf

For proof of adequate accommodation you need:
The applicant should provide evidence as to the basis on which the accommodation
is or will be owned or occupied (including rented) by the family unit
. This may for
example be in the form of a copy of the property deeds, a letter from a bank or
building society as to the mortgage arrangements, a lease agreement and rent book,
or a letter from a family member or friend who is making the accommodation
available to the applicant and their family unit.
For cohabitation evidence: All you need to know about cohabitation evidence
