Yes we got the COA and have a marriage certificate too.

So tenancy agreement and marriage certificate are enough? I dont need to show them photo albums, emails, cards, phone records etc..? Its just that I hardly have any!

zebra3 the only thing I was concerned about was that we are both married and living in the UK. I am on ILR and my husband is on HSMP so when he applies for a spouse visa do we have to show accomodation & relationship evidence or not?

squeakywills4u could you tell me what documents you are submitting with your FLR(M) form? My husband is going to apply for a spouse visa too. I would appreciate your help.

Can anyone help me please? Its a very simple question. I just wanted to know if the above document list will suffice or do I need to show them relationship proof and accomodation details etc. or not??

My husband is on HSMP and I have ILR. We got married here in the UK and now my husband wants to go on my spouse visa which he can do in-country. I have found out that he needs to fill in the FLR(M) application form but are the following documents enough (mentioned below) or do we need to submit more...

All I want to know is if I need to show proof of our relationship or not on the form. As it is an in-country switch from HSMP to my spouse.

Can anyone help me on this? please?!

My husband wants to do an in-country switch from his HSMP to a ILR spouse visa as I have ILR now. 2 questions: 1) Is the form FLR(M) the right form for him? 2) Are these the only documents that need to be send with the form? 2 Photos of him 1 Photo of me Both our passports Both our bank statements B...

Aha.. thanks John.
Also I am correct in saying that he can switch from HSMP to my spouse visa in the country itself using the FLR(M) form?

My partner has been on his HSMP for a year and now he is going to switch to my spouse visa (I have ILR).

So does that mean that his 2 year qualifying period will count as him being on HSMP + spouse visa towards ILR? OR does he have to be on 2 year spouse visa to get ILR?

Thank you Panesar! I'm on it now..

ElenaW: I have read the form and the guidance notes for COA but it is unclear if I need to send my passport or not. I have ILR.

So, do I need to send my passport when he applies for his COA??!!

My partner who is on HSMP needs to apply for a COA so we both can get married.. found this out thanks to this forum. I am on ILR.

Question is do I need to send my passport too when he applies for his COA?

It is urgent as I need to do this ASAP for some reason!! Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you sushdmehta.

So he needs to get a COA and I dont, I understand.

I recently got my ILR and I want to get married to a HSMP holder. Do we need to apply for a certificate of approval to get married in the UK?

I just received my ILR and now I want to get married to my partner who is living here and is on his own HSMP.

What is the procedure of us getting married here in the UK?

My employer letter stated the following things:

-Start date of employment (very important)
-My salary
-That my company is in approval of me applying for ILR
-I am still needed in the future
-My job title
-My job description
-Hours of work
-I am full time and permanent

Hope that helps!

yes that will be a problem. You need to show them your bank statements and pay slips.

Deep4ILR : I was only on a work permit for the whole 5 years and no I didnt give a letter for the absences but just wrote mine down on a separate sheet that I handed in (date left UK, date arrrived UK, reason and total days off). I did not have any business related absences. They were all personal. ...

Hello Everyone, Firstly I would like to thank this forum. It has been a great help. Yes I finally got my ILR under a 5 year work permit with one employer. I went to the Liverpool PEO and the documents requested from me were: -SET(O) Application Form -Absences From UK -2 Photos -Life In UK Test Certi...

Sabeeh ignore all these people. Congratulations on your ILR and enjoy your freedom... ).

Generally if you are on a work permit with the same employer the latest P60 is enough but it is entirely at the discretion of the case worker and they could ask you for them. But generally they don't. Make sure you take as many pay slips with you as you can. Also you can get a duplicate P60 from you...

It just says provide documents to prove continuity in the 5 year employment period for which I am submitting my P60s and a current employment letter. But I wasnt sure if they are going to tally the bank statements against the pay slips.

Thank you! I shall do that then...

Do I need to write a cover letter even if I have an appointment with the PEO? I wasn't going to write one... thought it was only meant for postal applications.

There are appointments available in Liverpool PEO.. I booked mine recently by phone.
