P60s is not required. You need a minimum of 6 months payslips and 6 months corresponding bank statements to prove the financial requirment.

Family photos is NOT required.

And one more question I did my B1 English test in 2015, I have been using this test result up till now(for 3 times visa extension) Last time when I applied for visa in the form they asked to mention certificate number which is not in my certificate as it was done in 2015 and that time there was not such information on certificate, so I explained in cover letter and there was no issue. Is it okay to use this certificate this time too?
thanks

Thank you, I have passed my B1 test last weekend. I really appreciate for mentioning it otherwise I would have used old certificate. :)
There are 4 more questions.
1) I got visa on 3rd March 2014 so I have completed my five years in 2019. My BRP will expire in April 2020. So I can apply anytime before BRP expiration?
2) Can I get the link for ILR documents requiremnets?(I am applying for ILR as dependent of British national)
3)Form I need to fill is ''Apply online (form SET(M))''?
4)Once applied do I need to go for biometrics myself or I will get letter from home office?
5) Do I need to upload scanned docs oline? Not in post?
Thanks in advance

1. Yes
2. The online system will tell you what you need
3. Correct
4. After submission, you will be asked to book and attend an appointment
5. Nothing is sent. All documents are scanned and uploaded only

Documents uploadong on UKVCAS site

Post by hunfah » Tue Mar 24, 2020 12:04 am

Hi, I have filled and submitted my ILR application. After booking biometrics I have to upload documents where I am little confused. In mendatory documents I have to upload decleration signed by spouse and my passport. I can't upload file of scanned pages of my passport at once, I am doing page by page(giving title to each page). Is this the write way to do it?
Instruction says each scan size should be elss than 6MB, this mentioned size is for one page(e.g first page of my passport) or whole section?
I am pasting 5th point from given instructions.
le Size: each uploaded document has a file size limit of 6MB. Uploading larger files will result in your documents being rejected, so please ensure the file is as small as possible and not more than 6 MB. If your document is over 6 MB please separate it into parts and create separate files to upload. There is no limit on the number of documents/files you can upload.

Thank you in advance

Hi, I have uploaded all my documents on UKVCAS and have appointment for biometrics on 21st April. I can't see any button for final submission of my documents. What I should expect next? I will be able to submit from my end or person from biometrics office will do it? does guy at biometrics office needs my username and password at the time of appoinrtment to access my account?
Any help will be highly appreciated.

There is not submit button for you when you have uploaded. Ukcvas do that once your identity has been checked and biomterics enrolled.

No they do not need your username details.

It is also likely that your appointment on 21st April will be cancelled as all centres are currently closed.

You just need to carry a printout of your appointment letter.
Keep checking your email and ukvcas website on updates
