Address Proof requirement for ILR application
Posted: Tue Oct 03, 2023 11:47 pm
Hi,
Me and my husband are Indian citizens. In 2021, I came to UK for MBA and in September 2022 I completed this course. In Feb 2023, I got sponsorship from a company and initiated job on Tier 2 visa. My husband also received tier 2 dependent visa, which is valid till Feb 2026 for both of us (expected to be renewed after 3-year period).
Initially in Jan-Feb 2023, we were staying at an Air-bnb and meanwhile we were looking for a suitable place for a long term. Unfortunately, the place we selected was turned out to be run by frauds and they ditched us on the day of moving in. On last minute, we moved to a rented place we found on SpareRooms but the owner didn't want to proceed with a Tenancy Agreement. We had no choice but to agree with his terms and since then we have been living here (approx 8 months). Here we pay monthly rent online but don't have a rent agreement or any other utility bill in our name. Fortunately, I was already registered with NHS and had a bank account opened during my college days, and later I was able to switch my address details in these 2 documents without any hassle to our current address, but my husband don't have any documents in his name for the current address. He has just opened a UK bank account in October for the current address.
The reason we didn't have a proper rental place in our name yet is because my husband is still searching for a job in the UK and we want to finalize a place after both of our office locations are finalized. He also had to fly every 3 months back & forth between India and the UK to comply with 180-day guidelines because he is currently employed in India, though work remote full time.
Now in next 3 months we are planning to move to another rented place which has a tenancy agreement and helps us with other documentation in our name as well in the form of Utility bills.
I just want to confirm whether this will have any impact on our ILR application (main and dependent application both) when we apply for ILR after completing 5 years on tier 2 sponsorship because we have been staying for many months without any tenancy agreement and bills in our names for the current address.
I have following documents in my name with the current address on it:
We will be highly obliged if you could help us with this.
