I too received mine in 2 working days.

don't you have council tax bill or any utility bill as cohabitation proof?

Dear All,

I am so happy to inform you that I have received BRP cards for all 4 of us yesterday on 9th of August. This was pretty quick as our ILR was approved on 7th of August at Solihull PEO.

Thanks,

Thanks.

You may be right I am not too sure. But in my opinion it doesn't matter if you are single applicant or family. Also, in my opinion absences less than 180 days should not be a problem

Thanks,

Hello Group members, I want to say a big thank you to the people in this group that information shared by everybody in this forum is quite extra ordinary and helped me in preparing my ILR application.

Hi Ramesh,

Can you please share how many month's payslip and bank statements did you show for your family visa?

I'm in the same boat. I'm here for past 1 month and got one month salary. Want to apply for my wife and 2 kids. Should I go ahead now, or wait for 1-2 months?

Thanks,
Vikas

Well, it's individual's decision. I have a famlily of 2 kids, but I didn't process my family visa along with mine. I am going to process it now. My personal experience is that it's easier if you apply for all together. Because once you are in UK and applying for family visa, you have to show accommo...

I suggest you carry both marks heets with Xerox copies of both.

it's not required to give payslips from March to August. Only July and August payslips will do. They need these latest payslips to verify your latest employment.

But there is no harm in giving March to June payslips also.

You need to give all documents which you sent with your initial application. So, the answer is yes, you need to give all your payslips.

Additionally, you need to give 2 latest payslips for Integra verification. 1 Xerox copy is also needed for these 2 payslips.
