How to Prove Spouse's 5 years in UK (not working)

Hi,
Shall I use VISA / Immigration stamps as the only option to prove wife's 5 years in UK as she was not working ? Any other way to do this for ILR application ?

I checked Council Tax bills which has only my name (do not know why, but that is like this, although rental agreement of houses have both names).

Thanks

Hi Angshuman,

Under which category is she eligible for ILR? Thanks

Anyone can help here?

[EDITED] I have checked your question again and the answer is yes... that via the Immigration stamps (in and out) and also via your wife's HO approval letters you can prove her 5 years legal stay in UK.

However, you will then have to show the proof of cohabitation for your wife....This is what we had provided for cohabitation proofs:

1. Joint bank account statements
2. Any NHS letters in wife's name
3. Council Tax letters
4. Voter registration letters (my letter stapled with my wife's letter)
5. Reference letter from registered GP (you need to pay for this letter.. check at your GP's office)
6. Utility bills (Gas, mobile, electricity, broadband e.t.c.)
7. Rental Agreement

Even if you don't have any joint bank account, you can add your wife to your account and request a statement covering maximum period (some banks allow only for a period upto 2 years)..... you will then see your wife's name on the bank statement which can be used as proof of cohabitation e.t.c.

3-4 letters/year in any combination from the list above covering 5 years should suffice.

Hope this helps.

Thanks... Quite tough
