Hi everyone,

I'm applying ILR on ukvcas.co.uk in progess of uploading the documents and found out these requirements are a bit confusing. Please helpe me if possible, thanks very much in advance.

1. Mandatory documents for applicant. In this section, it has two subsections and required to upload:
Proof of Identity / Travel History and Proof of Application.
In Proof of Identity / Travel History, system said I need to upload Evidence of my wife's immigration status in the UK, The biometric residence permit for myself. Does it mean I need to load my wife's full scanned passport copy on every page(she's British citizen) including of her travel history? and I have to upload BRP card's front and back right? Do you have to put all passport copies in 1 PDF document or I can upload 3 or 4 pages?

In Proof of Application, system required upload The passport I hold , Declaration signed by spouse or civil partnerYour spouse or civil partner should download, sign and return the following declaration: Your partner's relationship declaration for married partners and civil partners.

So apart my passport copy, my understanding is I need to upload a declaration that downloaded and signed by my wife. Thats all right?

2. In the Optional documents, I think this section is not clear about what document exactly I need to upload. Apart from Educational I know I have to upload my degree certificate. Finance: upload bank statement, savings, P45/60. are these all? I'm just confused in general.

Other
Resident in the UK
Finance
Proof of business
Life Events
Medical information.
Sponsors/employment
Educational.

Can someone please help me about my questions/. Thank you so much.

The evidence will depend on your immigration history and whether you are applying via Set (O) or Set (LR), etc, so best to make that clear so forum members can guide you accordingly.

For your wife's immigration status, just the first and last pages of her passport should be fine which provide her passport number, address, etc. details. Her travel history is not required/requested, but you need to upload your passport scan to prove your travel history, so where you have visas/stamps those pages can be scanned and uploaded along with front and last pages. Full passport scan too is fine. 1 or multiple PDFs too is fine for different passports.

For your BPR, yes front and back.


In Proof of Application, system required upload The passport I hold , Declaration signed by spouse or civil partner Your spouse or civil partner should download, sign and return the following declaration: Your partner's relationship declaration for married partners and civil partners.

If it's in the list of documents that you had to download from the previous section, then yes

2. In the Optional documents, I think this section is not clear about what document exactly I need to upload. Apart from Educational I know I have to upload my degree certificate. Finance: upload bank statement, savings, P45/60. are these all? I'm just confused in general.

You may have to provide cohabitation proofs for last two years, Life in the UK test reference number, employer letter/absence letters, English language requirements, bank statement showing your salary, payslip, consent and declaration forms, etc. but as I said it depends on your immigration history/application route.

Proof of business, etc. may not be relevant for all cases so ignore those that may not apply to your case

The call centre will only waste your time. It is best to mention full circumstances of your case for members to help. You are overthinking this completely.

First question:
What is your visa category?

The documents checklist would have generated a list of documents. You need to submit all those documents. “Proof of application” and “proof of identity” explicitly states which documents to go there. Upload them there. Coloured or black and white does not matter as long each file is less than 6MB. For sponsor’s British Passport, bio page is enough. For applicant’s foreign passport upload at least the bio and stamps pages covering the qualifying period.

Rest all documents upload in whichever category they fit the best. Forget about the mandatory and optional headings. This is how the website is designed. As long you upload documents in any category its fine.
