ILR now applying for BRP

Hi

My wife has had ILR for over 10 years. She is now applying for a BRP and has an appointment to go for biometrics to be scanned at UKVCAS. We also need to upload supporting documents on the UKVCAS website.

There are 2 types of mandatory documents to be uploaded:

Proof of identity: here we will use her passports and driving licence.

Proof of residency covering the period since she was granted ILR: we have various bills/bank statements/payslips etc covering each of the years since she was granted ILR. Also have a letter from her employer conforming she has been employed full time since 2008. In addition to this, a GP letter confirming she has been a patient since 2004. In addition to this I was going to upload a schedule showing that she has not be absent from the UK for a period of more than 2 years - this can also be verified by the stamps in her passport.

Would the above be sufficient for proof of residency?

Grateful for input and any general advice.

Many thanks.

A passport is the only thing used for proof of identity. The proof of residency is not specific so all those you provided should be enough

Thanks very much for replying, I appreciate it. If my wife uploads some documents in the mandatory area, eg payslips with her name and address can she also upload them into the non mandatory employment area? Thanks.

All uploaded documents will be looked through. Ensure all supporting documents are uploaded, not so much of under what category.
