Indefinite leave to remain documents checklist

[Ria81]

Hi
I am due to apply ILR and have filled application form which generated a specific check list of documents to be provided..I am applying ok skilled worker visa combined qualifying previous period on sole representative.
Application asked home office reference numbers.
The documents didn't ask for any continuous residency proof just the absence proof.
They didn't ask previous employment or any historical documents.
Should I stick to the checklist or provide additional documents if yes what they should be.
I guess as the home office already has all the data with them for example English test,HMRC records etc so they didn't ask.
Plz suggest.
Expert advice needed please

None of those are required to be sent

Thank you for getting back..I was mainly concerned about continuous residency proof which they didn't ask any.
I guess from date of entry onwards absence calculation be enough for them so they didn't ask.
Can I ask you one more suggestion.
I am applying first ,my spouse is completing ILR time after a month.He wanna apply on priority but if we link kids application with his we have to pay 4 priority fee.
Can kids apply separately and will home office points out why kids ILR is not included with other parent ILR ?

You do not need to prove residency. Refrain from inventing your own rules. The UKVI will use their data to assess whether you had continuous residence or not.

Also, the qualifying period starts from the first visa issue date and the date of entry is irrelevant. Provide your first visa issue dates, for you and your family so that I can give you the best strategy.

Make sure to read --> All you need to know about applying early, the application date, 28-day concession and more

Thank you zimba!
Our dates are different for first visa grant that's why they qualify later than me though we entered UK altogether.
Mine entry clearance letter on sole representative and vignette states 2nd SEP 2021 ,though BRP issue date is 8th September 21.
My partner entry clearance date is 20th October 21 and all kids 18th October 21.
We all entered UK 7th of November 21.
Also advise me do the documents from sole representative time matter (company house,business set up, parent company etc) if I am applying ILR on skilled worker visa but combining qualifying time with that previous period.
Thanking you in anticipation

All apply together, then delay the biometrics until all of you qualify. So book your biometrics from late September.

Also, you are applying under skilled worker rules and time spent under 'representative of an Overseas Business visa' is simply counted towards the ILR period under skilled worker route. There is no need to send any documents regarding the period.

All apply together, then delay the biometrics until all of you qualify. So book your biometrics from late September.

I guess you are suggesting from date of decision point of view that we all apply together on 5th of August as my earliest qualify date though they qualify later in September but delay the biometric until they are also in the 5 years eligibility window.
But for me and partner we want to apply for priority..I can only afford 2 priority application fee.
So I was wondering if I do according to my timings as priority and then partner will do according to his time as priority and children application can go as standard but I am afraid home office might object that y children were not included in the later parent application altogether.
If you have any suggestion regarding this plz.

[zimba]

You delay the biometrics until you are within 28 days of your 5 years. That is when you can be granted ILR.

You and your spouse can apply together using priority service, excluding the children from that application.
Then in parallel, apply for children separately using standard service.

If you want to apply separately, it is still fine. You apply using priority, your spouse applies for priority when eligible and the children will apply in parallel using separate standard applications on their own (children do not have a residence requirement for ILR)

[Ria81]

Many thanks for your precious advice.
I will do as advised.
Bundle of thanx once again..I will get back to you if I need further assistance.
Stay blessed..you are a gem for people like us.
Highly appreciated

I have just come across with another thing...my previous year P60 is one month short of total annual income I earned due to a year to date calculation error though the individual payments were always submitted and I received all 12 salaries and paid tax.
My employer said it's due to that they changed to a different payroll system which didn't work effectively and it has affected the year to date calculation.. however all individuals submission were correct but total calculation went wrong.
I have told him to resolve the issue and issue a new P60.
Though my salary at this stage is right Upto the threshold of new requirements,does that previous problem matter or should I delay my biometric until this problem gets solved.
Real question is does all this matter..if not how.
I need your valuable advice.

[zimba]

P60 is irrelevant

[Ria81]

P60 is irrelevant

Thank you so much Zimba for getting back.
Oh I thought for any work visa they check PAYE and HMRC records and it's common practice to put P60 as supporting document to prove compliance with your salary and work proof.
Should I not worry about previous HMRC records or PAYE calculations if my current salary is Upto date and according to threshold?

You only need to send the latest payslip and bank statement. Do you invent your own rules and requirements

Hi Zimba!
I just wanted to check with you 2 things basically wants reassurance.
1-My vignette and entry letter says 2nd September 21 but BRP states 8th September 2021.
My earliest eligibility date is 5th August 2026? Can I submit application on this date.
Or should I count from BRP?
2-Secondly for current employment confirmation letter from employer,is it mandatory to get confirmation about absences from UK ..I do have only 7 absence during whole 5 years period.
If it needs to be added in same employment letter do the dates needs to be mentioned or simply a sentence stating
"Her absence from work were authorised as part of company annual leave policy ".
Is this the right approach?
Basically my employer didn't mention anything about absences in letter I was thinking to request them to add this sentence.
Please guide at your earliest convenience

Hi Zimba!
Today I got the payslip which I am going to submit with ILR but the salary hit the bank yesterday and I noticed there is difference of 20p my salary slip shows 2677.44 while my bank transfer amount is 2677.24.
What should I do I am bit worried..should an explanation from employer be there in employment letter and they should send 20p Balance amount .
Is this discrepancy between a problem for ILR?
Since they have asked only 1 payslip and 1 bank transfer statement.
Please guide me about it I am anxiously waiting so I can take the step

2. All you need to know about the sponsor letter for Skilled Worker route
