Hi Zimba,

I am applying under ILR Set (M) Spouse

Its asking for below

1) Evidence of council tax costs for the accommodation in the UK where you live or will live
- For council tax can I submit the Annual council tax summary 2023/24 provided on March 23 every year. It says the total amount to be paid for the year and via direct debit. Do I need to submit Bank statement showing Direct debit payments ? and how how many months ?

2) Evidence of monthly housing costs for the accommodation in the UK where you live or will live
- Does this include submitting any utility bills and showing corresponding bank statements ? and for how many months ?

2) Evidence of monthly housing costs for the accommodation in the UK where you live or will live
- Does this include submitting any utility bills and showing corresponding bank statements ? and for how many months ? Not required to submit bills except as evidence of cohabitation. Tenancy agreement reflects this and probably reflected in your bank account statement if setup as direct debit.

I suspect you have selected some options on the form that you should have not. What are the sources of your finances ?

[safmdkhan]

Thanks for the reply AmazonianX.

For Point 2 (Evidence of monthly housing costs for the accommodation )
I submitted the application on Nov 6th 2023
So am I ok to upload current tenancy agreement and latest Bank statement showing rental payment for the month of Nov in this section ?

------------------------------

Also keeping my application date to be 6th Nov 2023, am I ok to submit back dating 6 months salary slip of
May,Jun,Jul,Aug,Sept & Oct 2023, as my NOV salary is only credited end of Nov and I dont have payslip for it yet. Will this be a problem if do not upload Nov payslip/bank statement ?

------------------------------

For All previous passports, travel documents or national identity cards that you have used to travel to or
remain in the UK

Do we need to upload older BRP cards ( Obtained during initial entry Spouse visa & FLR (M) obtained during extension ) ?

Really Appreciate your patience and support in guiding me

I suspect you have selected some options on the form that you should have not. What are the sources of your finances ?

For the below finances question:
Will you be able to prove that the financial
requirement is met? I have answered Yes ( me the applicant) via my Currently Employment which is way above £18600

For the question Do you own or rent your home? I answered I rent and I got follow up questions

I confirm I will provide: Evidence of monthly housing costs for the accommodation in the UK where you live or will live

I confirm I will provide: Evidence of council tax costs for the accommodation in the UK where you live or will live

Anything to worry here ?

[zimba]

Does not look incoherent. I was aksing as adequate accommodation and maintenance is often required when you do not meet the financial requirement normally

[safmdkhan]

Its indeed strange because I have given the same finance proof ( My Employment w/ £18600) during my FLR (M) Spouse visa application and selected I rent but was not asked for Evidence of monthly housing costs for the accommodation & Evidence of council tax costs for the accommodation.

Am I missing something else ?

- Would anyone who has filed ILR SET (M) with ( Employment having equal to or more than £18600) faced this same questions ? Can someone confirm, its worrying as I haved submited my application and in the process of uploading documents

I do not see issues. Just provide them as there is no harm. You do not need to provide old BRPs, UKVI issued these to you and you do not need to send them their own stuff

Thanks for the response AmazonianX

Do they expect 6 months Bank statements attached for as proof to be upload for each of the sections below ?

For Example:-

- Evidence for housing document section
Upload - 1) Tenenacy Agreement
2) Bank statement for the month of May, June , July, Aug, Sept and Oct showing rent being paid to out

Evidence for Council tax
Upload - 1) Annual Tax summary bill
2) Bank statement for the month of May, June , July, Aug, Sept and Oct showing Direct Debit being paid out



( OR)

- Evidence for housing document section
Upload - Tenenacy Agreement
Bank statement for the month of Oct showing rent being paid to out

Evidence for Council tax
Upload - Annual Tax summary bill
Bank statement of (spouse) for the month of Oct showing council tax being paid out


NOTE: My Financial Proof will include last 6 months Bank statements anyways which would cover both Salary & Rent.

I have used only my current passport to travel to UK, my 2 previous passports (expired) was never used to travel to the UK. Do I need to upload my 2 previous passports ( expired) in this section even if I havent used to travel to the UK ?

Any other documents they expect to be uploaded here ?

Only passport with UK immigration and or travel history is relevant, so upload such passport as contains the above details.

[safmdkhan]

Sorry I am confused because there are 2 sections to upload passport

-The passport issued by country for Mr xxxxx

- All previous passports, travel documents or national identity cards that you have used to travel to or remain in the UK

Do I upload passport w/ all pages in both the sections ?
NOTE: I have used only one passport for all my travel to UK

we are doing the same SET(M) application. I don't believe for these applications there is a requirement to upload pages other than the front/back pages. It certainly didn't ask for this in the application.

There is no requirement indeed but its always good to provide all the pages in your passport. Its as if you have submitted your entire passport to HO

Sometimes a single document is used to meet multiple requirements so yes you can go ahead and upload.

One final query before I go for my appointment tomorrow.

I have uploaded all the required documents of ILR SET (M) in UKVCAS Sopra Steria website. However I dont see a submit button ???
