Yes. NOC letter allowing you to live there. Housing associations usually are very evasive in issuing such letters for immigration purposes.

Thanks for your response, Is there any one who successfully received it from councillor/housing association ? If yes how and what is procedure to get one?

For my first extension I got the letter from maintenance housing officer saying in the letter that she visited the property twice and met me at property, which worked last time.

Thanks

Reminiscently, yes there was a similar situation where the spouse visa (entry clearance) was approved without the NOC letter whilst leaving no traces that whether was there any miracle/mistake happened or there is an exception for housing association/council in contrast to private landlord.

So what can be done about it ? Shall I submit council tax letters On my name which I have been paying, that will be sufficient ? Or any letters you think would be sufficient ?

Thanks

Since the hefty application fee is none-refundable and not all caseworkers are gracious allowing the 2nd chance of submitting the deficient document so better to exert your all efforts in getting it at first. However, if you still couldn't then take a risk by supplying your existing tenancy agreement, recent council tax bills & other cohabitation evidences and the old inspection letter confirming your occupation there too. Conversely, since the application form only asks about council tax & tenancy agreement (as per member's experience) in relation of housing cost, so maybe that gets overlooked.

Thanks for your response, yes I will try to get some sort of letter from housing trust Mentioning I can live there or I have been living there etc, previously I got the letter from housing officer where she mentioned on the letter that she met me at the her announced visits twice, and I have submitted that letter with tenancy agreement on my wife name, I never submitted inspection report as it’s not required in my case and would not help as it will be third party private agent (in my understating).

Thank you once again for your time :)

That letter was indeed an inspection/visit report despite wasn't intended to ascertain any overcrowding (which there isn't any in your case) rather to evaluate any disrepair which is statutorily incumbent on them. Also be known that some councils/housing associations for a fee were performing this service. However, in your case you don't need it.

Yes right...I will update once if I get something from housing association, need to find a same housing officer :D

I will go and see her rather writing to her as they are not bind to provide me anything, it’s just a good will I guess.

Kindly let me knew if you see any similar cases and what document has been used that would be very helpful for me and many other people

Cheers

1. Last 2 years

2. Annual bill won't cover the whole year rather can be combined with other cohabitation evidences. These evidences must be spread with even gaps of 3-4 months.

It should start from 6months after the visa was granted/entry into UK of the spouse.

It is really the 2 years prior to the date of application which may not be the same as the above.

Few more questions please:

1.Barclay credit card statement and Santander current account count as two different sources or one as both are bank accounts ?

2.Minor spelling mistake on my surname like cohen written as cohan in energy supplier statement Is fine? Using 3 statements as joint account for two years but latest one (July 2020) is with correct spelling plus received a email from energy provider mentioning mistake and amendments Can attach that with old bills with mistakes will that be fine ?

3.noc letter from housing sent by email showing screen shot of me( applicant) my wife( sponser) name under the tenancy with housing association logo and contact number, print of that will be fine ? I will including housing contract on wife name plus council tax bills ( 3 yearly) on my wife name ?

Thank you
