Documents confirming that you have spent 5 years in the UK..

Post by MrBrilliant » Sun Aug 18, 2013 9:24 pm

I'm currently putting together the documents required for my ILR application, and I'm stuck on this requirement: "Document(s) confirming that you have spent a continuous period of 5 years in the UK"

What can I use for this? I don't think I have kept dated letters every month for the last 5 years... so what do they accept?

I have *most* (but not all) of my payslips over the last few years. (There is a period of 3-4 months where I don't have my payslips.) Will that suffice?

it would be helpful if you could mention the type of visa you are applying upon.

That should suffice. I got my ILR (on Tier 2) 2 weeks ago.

Mine was an odd case where my previous WP employer is no longer in communication. So I got an employment history record from HMRC and about 80% of my payslips for the first 2 years (my initial employer) and only the latest payslip for the current employer.

Ah, fair point, I'm applying from Tier 2 (general) after 5 years.

By the way, do you get any of the original documents back?

Both will be returned.

That said, why do you need to submit a tenancy agreement when applying for settlement? Does the form tell you to or is it because you "want" to?

As part of "Documents confirming that you have spent 5 years in the UK"...

(I've only gotten 1 answer to my original question of what documents I need to bring, and that answer suggesting bringing tenancy agreement.)

I originally entered on a work permit, and then I became a tier 2 (general). I have my original work permit, as well as payslips.

Hi MrBrilliant

Basically you've been on WP for 5 years. And so any evidence from all the employers (in the form of payslips/letters) would do. Usually, this proof is not required from TIER1 (General) ppl as far as I know and so wanted to know your Visa category.
