Why you didn't change the address in all this time?Change address now as you will need statements as a financial evidence to show that you and your partner is earning and paying bills etc. and are not both unemployed or without any money in bank at all.

2-Do we need a covering letter with our application how much does it affect the application?

No not really unless your application is really complicated or have used a solicitor who normally write such covering letters with applications so no you don't need one but as i said unless its really a complicated case.

3-I get student loan so where shall i explain it?..we are both working part time ...
In section 8.

4-Do we need any savings does this help the application?

Well something around £1500 to £2500 would look good but again there is no such requirement under old rules as long as you can support yourselves without help from the public purse.

5- 2.17 What type of ceremony was your wedding/civil partnership? we got married in registry office so what shall i write .?

Civil marriage in xyz council's registry office.

6- 2.27 Shared financial responsibilities ? what should be written there..

Do you have any with your partner if so then write them its simple as that.

7- She got points on her licence for using mobile phone so shall we put the date of conviction or shall we put the date of when the sentence was given?
Well not sure about this one as its not just a simple matter of the date of conviction as its much more serious and could potentially affect the application as its conviction from court(assuming the matter went to court and was not an FPN etc.) but an expert advice needs on this one as normally driving convictions such as using mobile phone while driving and driving without insurance is taken very seriously so you need to seek professional advice
I know some of the questions are silly but i dont wanna take any chance and any help would be much much appreciated...
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply but we explained about the points when applied on FLR(M) but i have forgot what date we wrote there...
and we had statements on parents address even when applying for flr(m)
but we added a later from my mom confirming that...so if we do the same thing again would that be fine?
thanks again...

Why can't you change the address on your statements?In set(M) application they are interested in seeing that if you have been both really living together or not and to prove that you have to provide evidence of it in form of official letters and bank statements could have been really helpful too and also they need to see your income and outgoings etc. but I don't understand why your statements are going on different address

As far as points are concerned then recently a lot of changes were made and so anything which ends up in the court could have serious implications in the outcome so you need to seek professional advice in this or wait for the experts to jump in and advise on this one.

Because we both are students and dont wanna change our bank address to term time address as its not good for credit history...

navalaviator · Post by **navalaviator** » Mon Nov 25, 2013 2:51 am

EH didn't know that changing address effects your credit history

strange!

anyways get a letter and explain and make sure you take as much evidence as possible with you on your appointment as they might ask you for more.

i will appreciate if somebody can shed some light on this......

Applying from 28 days before qualification is fine. No need to include loan details.

Fredd,

I am not an expert but you should most certainly go into the bank and change your address with them to you current address.
My husband successfully got IRL 2 months ago. We like you lived with my parents for a while and moved into rented accommodation in April, i didn't change my address right away as i didn't think it was important as my parents only live 3 miles away, plus i didn't know how long we would stay at our new address. So i used to pick my mail up from my parents. Once I realised about the cohabitation docs i thought i better change everything. Im glad I did because the bank said I should have done it straight away as it is fraud if you DO NOT! didn't realise it was that serious so i quickly changed everything, as my drivers license and everything you can get fined etc if any information is false, e.g address.
I applied in september for ILR but didn't change my address until August, but it was enough time to get 1 bank statement each for me and my husband to the new address and then we had enough documents over the two years to prove the time we lived at my parents and the time at our new house.
We successfully got the ILR in 7 weeks, so it was clearly not an issue. But it could have been a problem if we had 2 different addresses at the same time, as I said for fraud reasons!
Honesty is the best policy!

I wouldn't worry about the bank statements, so far as you have enough supporting documents at the same address. Just expalin if asked, the address is your parents. A cover letter isn't required.

Yes you should make copies of everything. If the degree was taught in the UK yes, otherwise you’ll need to show it was taught in English i.e. a print out from the PBS calculator awarding 10 points for English Skills. Yes, if you were married. BRP ref will be on the BRP card. Yes, the last cohabitation proof will be covered with the 3 months bank statements and corresponding wage slips.

Thanks amber for your reply so yes it was taught in uk so degree certificate will be enough and one more thing about 2.15 does that when the flrm was granted ?
