  Mobile Contracts (Husband and Wife)
  HMRC letters (Self Assessments letters)
  Payslips

Waiting for your kind reply

Assuming you got your ILR via the PBS route.

1) She can apply earliest from 26/4/2021 minus 28 days.

2) SET(O)

3) Your documents are fine. She needs cohabitation documents for the last two years from the date of application. Could be any source from what you have listed. Ideally 3/4 sources evenly spread across last 2 years i.e. every 3/4 months. Ideally in joint names, otherwise top up in sole names but same address.

Thanks mate for your prompt reply
Yes i already got my ILR via PBS route TIER1
Fully understood

Dear Senior members
I am about to apply ILR for my wife. She spent 5 years in UK as dependent partner of PBS TIER 1 migrant.
(i got my ILR as PBS TIER 1 entrepreneur migrant in October 2020.)
I have just gone through the immigration rules paragraph 319 E (d) which states
(d) The applicant and the Relevant Points Based System Migrant or Appendix W Worker must have been living together in the UK in a marriage or civil partnership, or in a relationship similar to marriage or civil partnership, for at least a continuous period of 5 years,

My question is
Do i need to provide proofs of living together for 5 years or last 2 years
Thanks

2 years.

2 years.

Thanks mate for your reply
One more thing
Both partners have digital online banks statements. Can i use digital bank statements to show proof of living together (of last 2 years) or i need a bank stamp on online bank statements?
Many thanks

All online/digital evidence is accepted. You need documents from 3/4 different sources.

Thanks mate

Dear Senior members, CULLINAN/CR001
I have almost completed the relevant visa application form for my dependant wife (SET O).
At the end, system has generated a document checklist as follows

• 1-The passport issued by Pakistan for Mrs ABC
  2- The language test certificate for Mrs ABC to prove the level of English language
  required
  3- Evidence of Mrs ABC's immigration
  status in the UK
  4- Declaration signed by Mr XYZ to confirm
  consent for the Home Office to request
  verification checks
  5-Current Biometric Residence Permit for Mrs ABC
  6- All previous passports, travel documents or
  national identity cards that you have used to
  travel to or remain in the UK

At the end of the application form, i am also able to download a family contest form having 3 parts
Part 1 is for the applicant (my dependant wife/partner)
Part 2 is any person having joint account with the applicant.
Part 3: Any body who is financially supporting the applicant
Question

I believe family consent declaration PART 1 is applicable to the applicant. (my partner)
PART 2 and PART 3 is not applicable on me as i don't have joint account with my partner

If i see the above documents checklist (Number 4), what kind of declaration Mr XYZ (Me, PBS TIER 1 entrepreneur migrant) has to provide.

Applicant signs part 1. You will sign part 2. It is not only for joint accounts. It could be any joint named documents. You must be providing cohabitation documents. That is the declaration needed (#4).

Thanks CULLINAN for the help and support
I am also surprised that documents checklist is not asking about
1- Cohabitation documents
2- Marriage Certificate (this document has been provided in previous applications in 2016,2017 and 2020)
Is it normal that documents checklist is not asking about the above mentioned documents?
Regards

The checklist is generic. You need to follow the immigration rules and guidance note!

Thanks CULLINAN and CR001 for your help and support. My dependant (wife) has received her ILR approval email today @ 7:50 am. I am going to update her application timeline in the relevant topic
Thank you
